The Meditation Wristband is a visual guidance for breath regulation, functioning as a meditation buddy. The user is to follow the lights on the wristband to meditate and take deep breaths (inhale when LEDs are on and exhale when LEDs are off). The main idea is to use the user’s pulse as data and LEDs as output where the duration of the lights being on and off depends on the user’s heart rate.
