DSDN112 assignment2 storyboard

Proposal
My idea is to create an energy efficient interface that helps save on energy consumption within homes. The users of the interface are targeted to be designed into the future as the technology needed is very advanced a sort of artificial intelligence. The reason why I choose to design this sort of idea is based on the times when the users have left to go to work or on a trip away for the weekend and can check or get notified if their house is using un-necessary energy.

The idea had to have a sort of punishment or reward system that would help enforce the users to actually take energy consumption seriously. Creating an adapting artwork that coincides with the consumption of energy was an idea to force the punishment in a unique experience. The artwork would be connected to the interface and response to the use of energy by reflecting either positively or negatively. The colours of the artwork will reflect negative power use by using red and dark colours and positive by using bluish bright colours, a sort of light show that is interactive.

The interface is designed to connect to the power the appliances and lighting of the house. To explain what happens when for example a light is left on, the interface will pick up when the user is home and slowly dims the light meaning that there was negative energy consumption. The artwork would reflect this as it will be red flouriest lighting. The user will relise what has happened and tries to save energy consumption to get the artwork back to normal or back into the positive.
