Abstract

Our project aims to design a system that connects user’s home behaviours to the cultivation of a garden shared by a community.  The system creates environmental awareness in the user through suggestions of sustainable behaviours that is translated into the satisfaction of the garden needs.  A reward system in terms of harvest is put in place to stimulate the community towards a sustainable lifestyle.

iMON :: a kids’ play-thing

Abstract

Children have wild imaginations.  Having imaginary companions is part of a child’s growing up days.  Imaginative play is nature’s way of teaching the developing child some of life’s simple lessons.  iMON is a portable toy that gives life to their imaginary creations, who will stick by the child in times of fear and loneliness.  Interaction between the child and the device stimulates enjoyment and establishes connections with other children.  iMON will make every childhood experience a long lasting one.
