This project is an interaction design research study focused on Calm Technology wearables that enables non-verbal emotional communication. Through personalized light signals, gentle vibrations, and simple gestures, the wearable helps long-distance partners share emotional states and messages without relying on constant verbal exchange. It is especially relevant for expats navigating cultural adaptation, time zone differences, and emotional fatigue. By encouraging a quiet, shared emotional language, the wearable device offers a subtle way to maintain closeness and ease moments of loneliness across distance.
