Major Project 2026

Reach explores how wearable technology can provide discreet, child-led support through simple and intuitive interactions. Using physiological sensing, the device delivers gentle haptic feedback to encourage emotional awareness without drawing unnecessary attention to the child. Reach also incorporates colour-coded LED feedback, allowing emotional changes to be communicated visually to caregivers, teachers, and those around the child. By making emotional states more visible and understandable, the system aims to encourage greater awareness, empathy, and inclusivity within social environments.
