Feng-Shui Compass: A Modern Exploration of Traditional Chinese Environmental Analysis
This work addresses the challenge of quantifying traditional Chinese environmental analysis for modern applications, but it is incremental as it builds on existing sensor technology without introducing new methods.
The study tackled the problem of evaluating Feng Shui's influence on human well-being by developing a device and procedure using sensor data to predict well-being scores in a room, revealing preliminary results with potential for further research.
The technological advancement in data analysis and sensor technology has contributed to a growth in knowledge of the surrounding environments. Feng Shui, the Chinese philosophy of evaluating a certain environment and how it influences human well-being, can only be determined by self-claimed specialists for the past thousands of years. We developed a device as well as a procedure to evaluate the ambient environment of a room to perform a study that attempts to use sensor data to predict the well-being score of a person in that environment, therefore evaluating the primary aspect of Feng Shui. Our study revealed preliminary results showing great potential for further research with larger experiments.
