SyncFeel: Wearable Multi-Modal Rhythm Stimulation for Attention Enhancement

Sarah Jade Pratt and Alex Noh

ACM Symposium on User Interface and Software Technology Adjunct (UIST Adjunct), 2025. SIC Finalist

Overview

SyncFeel is a wearable platform for exploring rhythmic sensory stimulation for attention support. Built with DataFeel Dots, the prototype combines vibration, light, and temperature in a two-Dot bracelet, with a companion application for personalizing stimulation patterns.

The project explores how these sensory channels can be combined in a wearable experience, including thermal stimulation alongside vibration and light. It demonstrates two research-informed presets designed around focused work and restorative attention breaks, while allowing users to adjust the rhythms they experience. The contribution is a wearable implementation and personalization interface that provide a platform for investigating multimodal rhythms in everyday attention support.
