Under the trend of continuous integration of digital healing and nature interaction, traditional plants are endowed with new technical semantics and emotional values. Based on the "Listening Plant" project, this paper designs and implements a multimodal sound healing system that integrates plant bioelectricity signals acquisition, white noise sound template generation, and emotional keyword input. The project constructs a three-dimensional mapping logic of "emotion-plant-sound" through Human-Centered Interaction Design, perceptual computing, and Acoustic Psychology. This study presents a novel interaction design paradigm centered on natural co-sensing for the digital healing field, offering value for both application and emotional intervention.
