1. The fist big Step was to find a concept and bring to paper. I asked myself questions like: How should it look? Is it possible to see the temperature accurate enough? How should the visualization look?


2. After that, I had a plan to follow and my first action was to connect the sensor to the Arduino and the Software Processing. After some small issues, because I used an Analog pin instead of a digital pin to read out the values, I managed to get the temperature and humidity into processing. At first I was confused, because I forgot split the values in Arduino, in order to use it in Processing. After that the foundation of my Project was made.

3. I informed myself about the effect of colors to the emotions of the human brain. This was very theoretical but also interesting. I also decided to use my own knowledge and feelings to choose the color layout. I endet up with a color transition from dark blue (cold) to dark red (warm). I tested the layout one week and compared it to a regular thermometer to ensure the functionality in an everyday environment. My projekt worked surprisingly good after an adjustment period of two to three days.

4. After this time of everyday use I decided to work on the visual layout even more to show the recipients that the image gets constantly updated with new value via a little trick. I included a very slightly recognizable working random function inside the value of the humidity to show the recipients visually that there are changing values. I also want to include the same in the color.
