About CORE – Discover the COmpendium of RElatedness Technologies
CORE is a free-access, interactive database designed for researchers and designers, to explore relatedness technologies in a structured and engaging way. The comprehensive collection encompasses concepts and prototypes that have been explicitly designed to promote relatedness (i.e., emotional closeness, intimacy, and connectedness between people in a social relationship across distance). It includes a diverse set of technologies.
