This project explores Communica-Thing, a post-human design tool enabling the understanding of object emotions through sound. Inspired by Hear-Say Yo-Yo machines, Communica-Thing transforms your home appliances sounds into emotions and words, fostering deeper human-machine interaction. Communica-Thing envisions a future where designers comprehend and interact with objects, fostering creativity. The technical details smoothly operate together, while the web application enhances the machine-machine dialogue through AI-generated text based on the emotion they have. In conclusion, Communica-Thing represents a leap in post-humanist design, enriching humanmachine interactions and paving the way for emotiondriven design exploration.
