Researched and designed innovative prototypes regarding Ambient Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Examined how household objects, not commonly seen as IoT devices, could be redesigned to display information in an unobtrusive way.
An IoT prototype was designed and used to develop a Ph.D. thesis.
Examples Included:
A picture frame that would display different images depending on if the garage was open or closed.
A drawer, containing an umbrella, would open if there was at least a 30% chance of rain in the forecast
