Emotional Dashboard
Emotional Dashboard
The Emotional Dashboard is the center watch face that acts as the operating system, display and brain of the Recon system. For students, it displays the time, date as well as personal biological data in the form of colors, sounds and lights.

GPS Sensor
GPS Sensor
The GPS Sensor allows users to connect with GPS satellites opening up fitness and exercise tracking possibilities that push students to explore their surroundings. Furthermore, it allows parents and teacher to track student's movement and find missing students.

Game Port
Game Port
The Game Port comes with 10 educational games designed to stimulate student's brains while responding to their emotions. Games such as minecraft and Math ninja would be great choices.

Stress Meter
Stress Meter
The Stress Meter is a processing and sensory unit that collects stress data based on a user's emotional and physiological patterns. By understanding these patterns, students with anxiety and social and emotional difficulties may better understand themselves and the social world around them.

Speaker and Microphone
Speaker and Microphone
The speakers play sounds that correspond with various emotions. The microphone is used to analyze stress and emotional data within the user as well as others in the area. An earphone port can also be added to the mod to allow privacy.

Bio-Vitals Monitor
Bio-Vitals Monitor
The Bio-Vitals monitor processes all physiological signals and collects biological data to determine emotional patterns in the user. Data that is collected include temperature, heart rate, moisture, blood pressure, brain activity.

Mood Detector
Mood Detector
The Mood Detector is like a weather forecasting system for emotions. It processes physiological signals to understand the current emotional state of the user as well as any incoming changes on the horizon. Students with severe mood fluctuations will be better at recognizing early symptoms of an impending meltdown.

Hormone Tracker
Hormone Tracker
The Hormone Tracker tracks hormones, which are the long-terms nervous systems in our body. Hormones also drastically affect mood by physiologically changing the degree of our response to our emotion. Testosterone, for example, often amplifies aggression, social dominance and anti-social behaviors. Another example is dopamine, which if often the target of anti-depressant drugs, affects our happiness level. Like most biological functions, Hormones acts in an antagonistic fashion where there is often two hormones acting against each other to create a degree of reactions.

Rosales, et. al (2015) determined four key components to child-user friendly design in wearable technology used to foster free play in educational settings:
- Children should be allowed to define the interaction with the technology.
- Technology should support movement and sound.
- Technology should be interesting (ie. a toy) even when it’s not being used for its primary function.
- Children should be able to use technology to find new ways to interact with their body. This “user connection to a quantified self” enables children to quantify their physical movements into game and play functions. (ie. Moving their feet up and down makes bubbly noises.)
