Reflection

Overall, we chose an interesting topic to explore with our device. Could a piece of technology ever distinguish between aggression and affection or nervousness? To make Ghost Pepper as functional as personal bodyguard, it needs to be able to read body language like people can, as well as things we can't necessarily see like blood pressure and surprise attacks.. Completing this project gave us great insight into the unexpected consequences that IoT designers need to consider when building new devices. How might devices be misused, broken, hacked, or otherwise play a role in its user's life besides its intended function? While we want our devices to be functional and helpful, we need to be mindful of different contexts in which they might not be so functional and helpful.
