Situational Options

Situation Options Assignment
K.Hirata | E.Dastournejad

As we rapidly move towards a more "smart" future we get more and more cautious about using screens and gathering data by our gadgets. In this assignment, our team focused on some situations that (in our opinion) perceived as potent to improve, using some electronic awareness.

Situation One:
What if a car seat could respond to a baby’s behavior?

in this situation, we aim to detect any unrest in the baby's posture by the car seat, and then properly address it with basic seat functions.









Situation Two:
What if a table could detect the arrangement of toys?

In this situation, we are looking for the ways that a play table can enhance the playing experience for the kid. We're thinking about motion and color sensors in collaboration with physical actuators and screens.






Situation Three: 
What if a chair could detect when it’s being occupied?

Here we want to let a user reserve a seat on the bar while they're not seating there (i.e. using the restroom). In this specific example, we are planning to use NFC and some timer mechanism on the seat itself.







After some fruitful dialog with Prof.Muren, we decided to go forward with our third option while thinking about having some human interaction.
