In My Senses

This project is an empathy-driven product design that helps non-autistic individuals understand the sensory sensitivities experienced by autistic individuals. This kit includes an interactive activity and a wearable device that simulates visual, auditory, and breathing challenges, triggering sensations similar to those felt by individuals on the spectrum. Through controlled sensory disruptions, the device fosters awareness and emotional connection, encouraging deeper understanding of autism-related hypersensitivities.

Designed to evoke empathy, this project aims to create a more inclusive society by allowing users to step into the sensory world of autistic individuals. The device replicates over-brightness, auditory distractions, and breathing restrictions, offering a firsthand experience of sensory overload. By bridging the gap between experience and understanding, In My Senses promotes compassionate engagement and advocacy for autism inclusivity in everyday life.
