“IVY”


Role: Designer, Creative Technologist
Imagine a world where plants can express their needs and moods. IVY aims to make this a reality! By harnessing the power of technology, IVY translates a plant's soil moisture data into emotional states understandable by humans. With a simple click, users gain valuable insights into their plant's well-being, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world.

IVY utilizes a SHT10 sensor and Arduino to gather data, while Processing software visualizes this information. This allows users to not only understand their plant's needs but also develop an emotional bond, promoting responsible care and empathy. Overall, IVY transcends being a mere plant monitor, instead offering a unique educational tool and a doorway to a richer relationship with nature.



Pressing the red button activates the soil sensor, which will read IVY’s soil humidity levels.


If IVY does not have enough water, a sad message will appear.
