Social Object: The Principle

So the project is set to targeting the tribe of "Nomophobia" The main idea is to use physical computing as a cure to the disorder. So I have came out an idea of a wearable device to strap to an arm, a EMF(Electromagnetic Field) detector will act as a "sensor" to electronic device, which upon detecting positive result will trigger the "feedback" to encourage the user stop using that particular electronic device.  

EMF is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It affects the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity of the field. The electromagnetic field extends indefinitely throughout space and describes the electromagnetic interaction


EMF measurements are measurements of ambient (surrounding) electromagnetic fields that are performed using particular sensors or probes, such as EMF meters. These probes can be generally considered as antennas although with different characteristics. In fact probes should not perturb the electromagnetic field and must prevent coupling and reflection as much as possible in order to obtain precise results

Base on this physical fact, I will be able to use this characteristic of electronics in my project.
