Why is Wedding the problem space?

Prototyping / Concept Testing

Inspiration

Color can influence various aspects of human behavior and cognition, including perception of time, performance, decision-making, and even physiological responses such as heart rate and blood pressure. [reference link1, link2, link3]

Likewise, sound can play a crucial role in shaping human behaviors and cognition, including subjective well-being, sleep patterns, health, cooperative behavior, visual perception and other effects. [link4, link5, link6]

Result

Reflection / Next Step

Further Testing: Color and sound can significantly impact human behavior and cognitive processes. We need a comprehensive understanding of the impact of our color and sound design choices to inform evidence-based decisions for the future direction of CenterPeace.

Identifying Opportunities: Understanding where CenterPeace lies beyond the wedding experience.

“It could be used for things like when a group, whether it's a family or a group of friends [goes through any] complex project or decision making...I think it could be something that could be used for that because ... there's a lot of unspoken stuff.” - P4
