the cyra-know
Can a product or experience help a couple living apart gain a deep connection to one another, without having to be near one another?
Cyra-Know is a media device that helps the user to deepen an emotional bonding experience with a loved one living in a distant location, by sharing content based on their emotional health.
Cyra-Know finds patterns in the mood of their user over periods of time, and connects with the device of the user’s loved one to communicate when their user is feeling low, or in need of a "pick-me-up.” A prompt to create a playlist of songs, or movie recommendations for the loved one of the user, is generated based on that person’s tastes. Once the user selects the media, it sends a message through the app and encourages the loved one to chat with the user. The person can then watch the movie, or listen to the playlist through their entertainment system while having conversations about the media.
