Reader wears a vest which reads biometrics, based on which the book responds to the reader with different colors. As a concept it goes far beyond changing color of LEDs. In my opinion, the project aims at developing a dialogue between book and the reader. Everyday objects can not read our emotions and respond, wearable technology can intervene here. The body parameters can be used to change the default position of the objects. For example- Radio can switch to soothing channel by default when it is switched on if it knows that the person has increased heartbeat.
