The idea for this project is trying to find an fun way to present heart rate. The umbrella boat flows up and down based on the heart beat. The appearance of clouds and balloonboat will based on the in between time of each heart beat and the the speed of heart rate. For example, if the Interbeat interval(IBI) is longer then certain the ballonboat will fly out, while if the heart rate reachs over 100 per/sec the clouds will come out. On the bottom is the graphic for the heart rate, which I am working on to make it look like mountains.

This is an auto home LED simulation. I used a spot light mimic nature light situation. The idea is to create a stable and comfortable light environment for users and at the same time saves energy. Specifically, the LED light will turn on, off and adjust the brightness based on the nature light, which always keep the room in the same lux standard. For example, if the user choose 200 lux (a studying light standard), once there is enough nature light, the LED lights will off but once there is a cloud coming that decreasing the natural light source under 200lux. The LED lights will switch on to make up those missing lux. Moreover, users can adjust the lights temperature as well. Or it the setting is auto, it will adjust the light temperature based on the weather. For instance, if it is very cold, the light will lean to high temperature that creating a warm indoor environment. However, I am still working on the whole interaction process and logic, this is just a demo.
