Process

To show the process was going to be the hardest task and I was unsure of how to do this so I wrote out a detailed story which I could then refine back to a story board idea.

The plants are purchased in a set of two by either person (daughter, mother, son , father, friend etc.)The kit containing two specialized sprinkler parts, two lengths of PVC hose, two timers and two sensored rings is bought also.

These are distributed amongst the two users and the plants and kits are assembled in an outdoor environment. The assembly entails the sprinkler part being inserted into the plant and then connected to the pvc hose which is then connected to the timer which connects to the tap. There are two sensors per user, one which is situated on the head of the sprinkler and one which is on the ring.

The timer is set to water as necessary for the period of time required (dependant on the plant).When the sensor detects a negative mood the head of the sprinkler contracts to block the exit of water. If a positive mood is detected it will either expand or stay open depending on whether it was open already. Each plant corresponds with the opposite user.

In time the plants will begin to reflect the general mood of the user which works well when determining if they other person needs some company.
