Sending a small sign of affection.

Lovelyboard is a heart-shaped connected object designed to let people send a small sign of attention from a distance. The intended interaction is simple: press one board to light up the others. Physical prototypes bring together a pink circuit board, a heart-shaped button and a transparent shell.

Interaction
Button and light
Form
Handheld connected object

A gesture you can hold

The heart-shaped button gives the gesture a physical form. The transparent shell keeps the pink circuit board and its components visible, bringing the electronics into the character of the object.
