We have some great news: You can participate in a visual demonstration of the Meditation Lab Experimenter Kit the 28th of October on Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. At the moment the project really satisfies me. We still get deeper into many aspects of the Silence Suit as you can read in the following. Reflecting […]

Things come together in Twente
Last week we went to University Twente to meet Vera de Pont, our designer, and Klaas and Stephen, two of the students of DesignLab, working on the electronics and the software of the Silence Suit. It was a very exciting day to me. Before, I did not really know what to expect from the meeting. […]
Design Lab nirvana
Ready, set, go! After a difficult start things are really starting to move. Since a couple of weeks all the team members are working on their individual tasks: the database design, the interaction design, suit design, PCB design and experiment design. The project feels like a sort of organism that grows organically in different directions. […]
Trying to get the complexity of the project
For me the project becomes more and complex. So in this blog post I will try to give you an overview of different aspects of the project around the Silence Suit, the correlations of these aspects and my difficulties with this complexity. Developing the button further To keep it concrete, I will first explain to […]
Exploring a new button
I honestly have to say that the project seems to go really well. I enjoy every day of my internship because every week there is something new to develop. Every time I am excited what comes next and which idea’s will be altered and which will be completely new. As every week I will give […]
Kick-off in Twente
We are very happy we can work together with three students from Design Lab, a creative and cross-disciplinary ecosystem at the University of Twente. This week Danielle went for two days to Twente to visit the students who will focus on the electronics and the embedded software. They will focus on the PCB’s and the […]
Working on the sitting sensor
The most important step Danielle made this week is the formulation of the costumer journey. We distinguish four different kinds of users: The Plug-and-float, De-kleine-onderzoeker, the Lab manager and the QS-wizard. The Plug-and-float is the individual user who wants to improve the quality of her own meditation session. She focuses on looking at the data and improving the […]
Neck sensor does his work
Last week we made great steps developing the sensors and the electronics. We chose another sensor for in the neck. It detects movement to the extent we want it. We found a solution to include the sensor in the Silence Suit. We went further with the experiments we did last week. We chose another cloth for the […]
Relief! The organisational problems reduce
Last week, I was busy with sewing the sketch of the Silence Suit. But I also was busy with the project in my head. I really was wondering how Danielle’s week would pass. Last time she seemed stressed and exhausted because of many organisational problems. So before I came this time I really hoped that […]
First visit to Léanne’s design studio
Since the last time we met, Danielle just went on with her project. She is still organising many things. The expectations of WEAR Sustain are still not fulfilled. But it takes shape and she is in contact with many people to solve the organisational problems. Phone calls and Skype meetings are on her daily agenda. […]
