The Comfort Box is an app I created for my thesis. I started to work on my thesis my junior year but the actual app was applied senior year. This was based on the thought of how Americans work in the United States compared to other countries like the ones in Europe. Often times being overworked or zoned out, I thought about an app to not only get you moving but get you out of your comfort zone. Small tasks and changes to not only get you moving but get you out of your comfort zone. Small tasks and changes to not only brighten your day but possibly somebody else.
How does it work? It gives you different types of tasks to accomplish everyday. Everything from wearing something bright in color to paying ti forward and paying for somebody's coffee. Just little acts to get you out of that funk of the same everyday life. Not only is it something small that doesn't take a lot of time but it also gets people to really take a break from mundane life. You'll never know what tasks you'll get everyday.
It starts out by signing in to your account, then taking a mood quiz. After that, it gives you tasks to do everyday. As shown in images 3-6, it ranges from walks to meeting new people to wearing something bright in color. This app affects not only the user but those that the user interacts with as well. You might have to ask a coworker about their day and make their day by just asking. It affects you and those around you.
For a closer look on how the application would work, I did make a video for my thesis. Visit you tube: https://youtu.be/ZuQi4LNVMcw.
