Creative Experiment on Decorative Products for Condominium using Responsive Technology

Abstract

Creative experiment on decorative products for condominiums using responsive technology has the purpose of creating decorative products using responsive technology which can improve the interior atmosphere which can be controlled by the user and adjusted according to their needs. The constraint of the design is the interaction between the two emotional states of normal (heart rate of 60-80bpm) and high stress level (heart rate of 80-100bpm). Another constraint of the design is the technological constraint, which can control the lighting, noise level, and temperature according to the users’ needs. This research is conducted based on the previous one called “A Study of Interactive Media to Design and Develop Decorative Product in Condominium”. The knowledge gained from the previous research about incorporating technology into product design is utilized in this research to be experimented on decorative products with responsive technology. The results of this research can be divided in two parts. The first part is summarizing user behaviors in which the results are obtained from both primary and secondary methods. The results are then used to create product design constraints. The second part is the resulting product design which is aesthetically satisfying, suitably for the physical environment and the three factors which can be controlled by sensors include lighting, noise level and temperature lighting, which is controlled by, noise sensor and humidity sensor respectively. There are three resulting designs which have three levels of intelligence according to different usages of living room, dining room, and bedroom.
