In Milestone 3, we proposed that we would like to build a product that allows users to collect plants from wherever they like, and use a meditation lamp to project users’ collections and help people meditate. Before starting the design work, we first conducted several user enactments to find out users’ preferences on the interaction method of the meditation lamp.
We mainly tested two methods, one is using AR technology to watch the plants and present the environment where this kind of plants live; the other is making use of projection technology to project plants in the lamp, and people can choose the plants they would like to project, choose different environments via phone screen.
