This paper presents a development of light-emitting chair with an internal light source that emits light in synchronization with individual’s heartbeat and respiration rhythm. We assumed that the visual stimuli can affect interoception because the light emission pattern is based on the vital signs. Moreover, in color psychology, colors in surroundings can affect human emotional states and behavioral responses. The purpose of this study is to discuss novel approach to bring a feeling of relaxation by using a light-emitting chair. Furthermore, we propose a method for monitoring respiration signal from time-series data measured by the pneumatic pressure sensor that inserted into a cushion on the chair.
