Midterm Project-Interactive Canvas
Guiding IDEA
Since it’s not possible to create an indoor environment that makes all the users feel comfortable and the need for human comfort may vary from space to space, the reasonable way is to create an environment for a specific indoor space that allows a high percentage of users to gain comfort. However, there are so many elements(temperature, smell, lighting, color..) controlling the environmental condition, test and feedback from people is needed. I am interested in creating a system that can allow people to vote for the environment they are in, then using different devices to change the conditions of the indoor space. Through the system, I am able to study how different combinations of environmental elements affect human comfort and then there may be a way to keep approaching the “perfect” environment for a specific indoor space.
Midterm Project: interactive canvas
As above mentioned, measuring the people’s action is more important to me than only measuring the indoor environment. So this prototype is attempting to achieve the goal of giving people the power of changing indoor environments and collecting people or objects’ movement data in the space.
