Noema is a speculative sensory tracker — a pair of glasses that detects the moment something moves you, and an app that turns those moments into a searchable archive of your own taste.

The Problem

Inspiration is a sudden, involuntary moment of recognition that disappears before you can act on it. We feel inspired — then lose the exact moment that caused it.

The Solution

A sensory tracker that captures inspiration the instant it happens, and an AI-organized archive that turns those moments into a living documentation of your taste.

The Product

Built for designers and creative practitioners

In the age of AI, personal taste is increasingly the differentiator. The product consist of 3 key features - Capture, Document, and Analyze.

Capture

Catch inspiration the moment it happens.

Document

Turn moments into a library of inspiration.

Analyze

Discover what shape your personal taste.

01 Capture

Sensory Tracker Hardware

EEG and heart-rate sensors at the temple, outward cameras with a recording LED, inward IR sensors tracking gaze and pupil dilation, and a mastoid contact for finer brain-activity mapping — together they detect the subtle signals of an "aha" moment. The glasses switch off anytime: capture is passive, privacy is a choice.

TEMPORAL CONTACT

EEG + Heart Rate

MEASURES BRAIN ACTIVITY AND PHYSIOLOGICAL AROUSAL.

DEMO

It feels it before you can name it

Noema catches inspiration the moment it happens — passively, automatically.
You spot a photograph in a hotel lobby; felt inspired; the glasses scan it instantly, logging the time, the location, and the sensory channel.

02 Document

Turn captured moments into searchable inspiration

AI organizes every capture by mood, sensory input, subject, and location, making inspiration easy to find again. Search across past moments, bring selected captures into a moodboard, and arrange them freely to explore patterns and connections across ideas.

03 Analyze

A living portrait of your taste

Mia opens her dashboard and learns she's 67% visual and 20% touch — something she never knew about herself. Over time, Noema shows which senses fire most, which days she feels most inspired, and how her aesthetic is evolving.

Process

Designing at AI speed

72 hours, 4 designers, 1 house rule: Build with AI, Think like human.
Every prototype is prompt engineered via Figma Make. Interactive and alive.

An AI prototype that works

Minami and I built the app in Figma Make: upload an image, AI auto-tags it by mood and subject, tags become filters, filtered views save as moodboards. Swapping images dynamically was the tricky part — we ended up managing the assets in Figma itself.

Motion as the pitch

The concept film and interface motion were mine: Flora AI for product envisioning, Jitter for the final cut.

Reflection

What 72 hours building with AI taught me.

1

Figma Make and Flora AI collapsed days of production into hours. Every judgment call was still ours.

2

Designing sensors that don't exist yet meant grounding every choice in real psychology — inspiration as triggered, measurable, fleeting — so the fiction stays believable.

3

With no time for user testing, the structure had to explain itself. Capture → Document → Analyze worked because it fits in one breath.
