SENSAIR
Good air quality is essential for long-term health. And as stated by the World Health Organisation, even seemingly imperceptible levels of air pollution can cause premature deatH. The air quality (AQ) perception doesn’t always align with the actual AQ. Various air quality sensors were used to gain insight into the users day to day experience, related to air quality. A data tracking probe was formed and used in combination with a diary, and insights. This process resulted in a concept that measures in-door Dust and Gas concentration and visualizes it subtly, enabling the user to actively influence the indoor air quality (IAQ) in a positive way.

When people receive the notification from the prototype, they can touch the light conductive fibers to stop the vibration, after that, when they do any action with intentions to change the IAQ, they touch the fiber again. The second touch will trigger a rainbow light for 10 seconds, in this way, it can encourage users to do an action and give feedback to the system. The second touch is interpreted by the system that users are active with improving IAQ. In the coming 15 minutes, the system will keep monitoring the IAQ and informing users only by the light without vibration. The working process is shown in interaction flow, and the scenario is described in a video
