A handheld meditation device uses sensors to measure skin conductance, electromyography, and heart rate in real time, detecting emotional fluctuations. When changes are detected, it plays music, releases scents, or adjusts lighting to help users enter and maintain a meditative state more effectively. Experiments verified the device's effectiveness and reliability. The paper describes the design principles, hardware components, and software algorithms behind the device, and discusses its potential for advancing meditation technology.
