REMQuilt helps couples decipher the secret language of their sleep. Each night, it tracks their restlessness, closeness, and body contact; each morning, it weaves this data into a representation of their sleep, based on these factors plus time, that is projected on their bed in a quilt-like pattern.

REMQuilt is comprised of a number of digital textiles: a Kinect camera for low light camera and depth; face tracking libraries in openFrameworks to suggest restlessness and proximity; two conductive pillow cases and an Arduino to measure body contact between sleepers; a laptop computer and software to knit together all of these variables, and a projector mounted above the bed to illuminate the connections in the morning.

REMQuilt was built in collaboration with Justin Lange and Patrick Muth.
