What does your digital footprint tell you? Well, we’re able to harness the power of IoT to match your mood and show you.
Business application
Creating an immersive buying experience
This is the perfect solution for a more effective in-store shopping experience where AI can serve up personalized experiences to customers. Understanding your customers at a more sophisticated level is key to the future of commerce. Creating opportunities for personalized engagements creates a tailored experience. By understanding a user’s personality, tone, and emotion we’re able to move from simple “related or suggested” product options on a website, to a completely immersive shopping experience where the physical space and selection change to meet the customer’s mood.
The experiment
Harnessing the power of your personality
We built an application that pulls data from a user’s digital footprint; it harnesses the power of IBM Watson’s Personality Insights API to match this data to the “big five” personality traits, then translates these into a mood color, and leverages IoT devices to create a transforming experience. As users enter our “lounge” the light color of room them changes to match their mood.
Technology overview
IBM Watson's personality insights APIUsing AI, this API maps data from Twitter to the “big five” personality traits, also known as OCEAN (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism).
IoT: Philips Hue Smart LightingThis IoT technology offers programmatic control of arrays of lights. Each personality is translated into a color and that color is matched to a mood and applied to the light bulbs in a room.
Angular and Node.jsUsing these two modern web technologies, we are able to push the boundaries for product integrations and drive success within AI experiments.
