Fashion Forecast (Weather Bugs 2)
In week two of our ‘The Thermometer of the Future” group project for Networked Objects we had to come up with an actual proposal. From our research, we decided that the way we currently receive weather data is not practical. What does 86 degrees really mean? Its really abstract. AND it doesn’t tell us information about the things we use it for: clothing decisions. Almost everyone we talked to mostly used the weather to decide in the morning what to wear and take with them. So, we decided to fix that problem.
We propose a weather data system that would be much more practical to your life. All of this is eloquently (and beautifully) described in THIS PDF of our presentation… but the basic premise is that your computer recommends what you should wear that day, and then looks out for you when you forget umbrella or whatever.
I liked our final proposal because it could actually be implemented… and with the right application/customization, be useful I think. Who know… maybe a prototype in the future?
