Mini Thesis: exChange
-connected wearable devices that mimic an exchanged breathing pattern of two individuals.
-stretch sensors measure real-time breath data from individuals involved.
-individuals become acutely aware of their breathing as both separate and networked persons.

Next Steps
• For thesis I want to expand on exChange.
• I also want to conceptualize other objects or speculative designs that would compliment the breathing devices.
• Working title: Intimatics
