MIT-engineered smart desk transforms based on your mood

The MIT Media Lab’s “Mediated Atmosphere” project is currently developing an office space that transforms itself based on your mood. Utilizing bio-sensors, controllable lighting, projection screens, and sound (admittedly, you’re gonna need a BIG desk), the enhanced workspace would engage different senses and alter your surroundings in response to your activities, biological signals, and behavior.

As the researchers note: “We imagine a workspace that, when asked, can instantly trade the engaging focus of a library with the liberating sensation of a stroll through the forest — a workspace that can replicate the invigorating tension of a control room or the restorative qualities of a beloved childhood hideaway.”

Anything to keep you pleasantly grinding way, working man.
