Nemesysco's app is a unique blend of technology and implementation. The app design needed to be simple and present a ton of information in real time, all while focusing the viewer on the important parts of the app.The challenge was to come up with a progressive disclosure of information and emphasizing different parts of the app at varying intervals.

What is The Emotional Diamond?
Nemesysco’s Emotional Diamond, developed in 2012, simplifies the visualization of complex emotional responses detected by the LVA. It consists of 8 key indicators: Energy, Stress, Logic & Confidence, Emotion, Passion, Uneasy, Mental Effort, and Concentration (out of 14 total emotional states). The core idea is that emotions are context-dependent, not inherently good or bad. By analyzing emotional patterns over time, the Emotional Diamond helps reveal deeper personality traits and reactions.
The Problem
The eyes of the beholder
The person's face dominated the app’s visuals, drawing attention away from key events. Since people instinctively focus on faces first, I used a color contrast shift in the diamond ray representing the strongest emotional response—similar to a heatmap effect. This subtle yet effective tweak instantly directed focus to the most important events.
The Solution
Normal state
During normal operation, the diamond is operating as ususal.
Error state
To indicate an error, the diamond rotates into a stop sign, instantly signaling that something went wrong and the app cannot proceed.
