Research Activity
Consumer Trend Research
Search for Home Tech Trends for 2027 and/or 2028 and consider how these trends and depth of research can inform your own observations and interests. Of the available categories, pick two that you are most interested in and use the table below to explain what interests you and the type of physical computing project they could help shape.
Personas Research
Finding good persona research is difficult, using the list of resource as a primary part of your research, find any personas data available and based on your selected tech trends and possible projects they could shape you will select two personas and respond to the prompts in the table below
HMI Research
How Might I, How Might We is a framework that can help make choices based on identifying problem spaces and asking questions about solving them. Using the provided lecture links and your previous WGSN research respond to the HMI prompts using table below.
Project Path
Only after completing Steps 1 - 3 are you in an informed state and can consider your path this term. Respond to each of the Path prompts using the table below.
Project 1 Concept
Project 1 Concept
I chose the design path. I would create a landscape in Figma, with an Arduino-connected button representing appliance use. Each press would gradually fade the landscape, while a pause would allow it to recover, inviting reflection on consumption and environmental renewal.
