Sensable is a piece of smart jewelry which enables humans to explore and sense biotic and abiotic elements in the neighborhood. Sensable houses a plant, which is fostered by the wearer promoting green infrastructure and taking frequent walks to meet its light needs. The device acts as an interface between humans and non-humans, leading to an increase in empathy for the environment we are a part of. Sensable guides one to the nearest green area where one can experience ecology by encountering various sound sculptures and becoming a part of it.

Smart jewelry that helps you sense the biosphere more closely. It houses a plant, which needs to be fostered, cared for and watered by you.

When it needs light, it will vibrate to nudge you to take your new friend out for a light walk. It will then lead you to the nearest green spaced wherein it will make you meet it's other non-human friends like the leaf-cutter ants, moisture in the soil etc.
