Prototype of an object to help aid relaxation by encouraging slow, steady breathing.
The flower form would subtly bloom and retract at 4 second intervals to guide breathing at this pace and help calm the user. The internal component is pleasantly scented to make the breathing response to the motion instinctive.
I have placed the form on a string to become a necklace as these are often fidgeted with when one becomes stressed, and this would serve as a remind the user to steady their breathing, therefore making them become more relaxed.
