This paper describes an emotive wearable called AnemoneStarHeart, an illuminated, heart-shaped pendant created for visualising and displaying EEG data between couples, close friends and family, or for the wearer's relaxation or productivity monitoring purposes. The device maps data sent from an EEG headset and displays it by illuminating the AnemoneStarHeart pendant accordingly. This paper discusses the motivation for creating the device and how its purpose and design was influenced by focus groups and field trial feedback. The paper goes on to chart the device's development through execution of the concept and ends with conclusions and next steps.
