We experimented and toyed around with a lot of different ideas. Additionally, it was a challenge to imagine how these ideas would be applicable to reality and how likely we would be able to pull it off with our skillset. At first, we had the idea of a plant which talks when people step close. It could have uttered that it needs sunlight or water when one of its needs isn't met. The environment was supposed to interact with the plant and the plant would have relied on the visitors. The plant could have also reacted on the visitors voices. We thought about using motion sensors that would trigger the plant when a certain amount of people would be in the room. If too many people were in the room, the plant would have sensed a disharmony and an according disharmony noise would have been played. | We experimented and toyed around with a lot of different ideas.

If too many people were in the room, the plant would have sensed a disharmony and an according disharmony noise would have been played. Other sensors could have been a moisture sensor for the soil or a sound sensor so that the plant could react to the sound like a stressed zoo animal held captive. We also thought about an additional light that could shine on a spectrum to show happiness or overstimulation. Another idea of portraying the discomfort or wellbeing of the plant would have been a shivering motion or gentle movement according to its mood. | ||
'''Contra''': Although this way, the plant would have taken on the role of a marionette, and that is why we changed the idea. | '''Contra''': Although this way, the plant would have taken on the role of a marionette, and that is why we changed the idea. | ||
