Cactis

overview

CACTIS, a faux cactus device that imitates pet-like responses to changes in temperatures of user’s interior environments. While there is a plethora of measuring devices for indoor temperatures, they do not facilitate human-environment interactions and do not put the users in a global context to help understand the climates around the world. Through CACTIS, we strive to understand and influence how users can be more environmentally conscious by surfacing environment problems in an interactive way. The design explores using a plant in a pet-like fashion that would live in the user’s most vulnerable areas - such as in the bedroom, bedside, or living area.
