Technology Overview
Arduino Boards
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) serves as the main control unit for the prototype
Mini MP3 Player
Utilized for playing meditation and soundscape audio.
Rotary Potentiometer
For volume control adjustments
LED Strip
Simulatered light therapy, providing a cost-effective solution.
Keyboard Switches
Exploited as sustainable, low-cost materials.
Red Light Code
Purpose
Red color effect is implemented
to simulate red light therapy,
This color is displayed when the
user presses the button to
cycle through different color states.

Future Scope
Button Iteration
The sound controls have been separated into distinct buttons — one for Soundscapes and another for Meditation — replacing the single control from the first prototype,
ensuring clarity and ease of use.
Touch-sensitive buttons with glowing red light replace the keyboard switches, offering an immersive and calming experience while providing intuitive control.
Red Light Therapy now operates
independently, separate from the RGB lighting.
