A cognitive decluttering device that draws on the concept of a vacuum cleaner to aid in organizing and clarifying thoughts.
Technologies Used: Large Language Models, Language Libraries & Raspberry PI.
Individuals engage with advanced devices designed to gather their thoughts.
The philosophy behind this device is rooted in the belief that mental clarity is essential for overall well-being. I observed that many individuals struggle with information overload, scattered thoughts, and mental disorganization in today's fast-paced world.
In seeking a solution, I looked to repurpose familiar, everyday objects for a new purpose. The vacuum cleaner, an item people associate with cleaning their physical surroundings, became the inspiration. This led to the idea of creating a device that could metaphorically "clean" one's mind.
It features an interface similar to the existing vacuum cleaner but repurposed to do a new task, where users can express their thoughts, concerns, and ideas. The device processes this input, offering feedback, posing questions, and suggesting strategies for organizing one's thoughts.
The concept aims to be approachable and non-intimidating. Just as people routinely use vacuum cleaners to tidy their homes, this device is designed to help users regularly declutter their thoughts in a simple, friendly manner. By drawing parallels to a common household tool, I hoped to make the process of mental organization feel more accessible and less daunting.
The goal is to provide a familiar and comfortable way for people to address their mental clutter, organize their thoughts, and achieve greater clarity. This repurposing of the vacuum cleaner concept into a tool for cognitive tidying reflects an innovative approach to addressing modern mental health challenges using relatable, everyday imagery.
