Body Metrics
Overview
Turning biometric data into a personalized museum guide.
For the first time, a museum exhibition shares the exact same subject and audience: you. We equipped visitors with custom wearable devices that track physical and emotional reactions in real time. As guests explore the museum, their own biometric data—from heart rate to muscle tension—transforms into the content of the exhibition itself, creating a personalized feedback loop that reveals how their bodies react to the world around them.
“The whole thing depends on a unique element—you. ”
Museums often struggle with a "one-size-fits-all" model. We challenged this by creating a responsive environment that adapts to every individual. By aggregating social, emotional, and physical data, the Body Metrics experience fosters deep self-awareness. It turns passive observation into active participation, proving that the most complex and fascinating machine in the Tech Museum is the visitor walking through the door.
“I think it’s safe to say it’s the most technically ambitious exhibit ever attempted at a science museum.”
