The Joey Booth is a nonverbal emotional check-in system designed for schools and youth environments.
It allows children to express their emotional state using tactile buttons and an NFC-activated plush, all within a private, sound-dampening booth.
Students tap their assigned plush (with an embedded NFC tag), choose their emotion(s) by pressing labeled buttons, and spend a few quiet moments inside the booth. The system logs anonymous check-ins using UUIDs for patent tracking.
