Mood Orbs

Mood Orbs is an interactive installation that turns anonymous emotions into light, colour, and motion. Visitors scan a QR code, choose how they feel, and watch the projection shift in real time, the most-voted emotion forms the centre, surrounded by less-voted moods in radiant layers.

Mood Orbs explores how technology can visualise shared emotion in public space. It invites people to anonymously reflect and express how they feel through a simple, playful interface. The collective data transforms into a moving landscape of colour, revealing how emotions connect us even when unspoken.
