BotanyBuddy: A Smart Gardening System
An individual design project undertaken to tackle the design
prompt of creating a smart gardening system:
Design a smart gardening system that helps users manage their
garden by providing real-time monitoring of soil moisture,
temperature, and plant health.
Extensive research
was undertaken to deeply understand users' requirements,
pinpointing their pain points and areas ripe for improvement. This
involved employing design methodologies such as
crafting user personas, developing low and high-fidelity
wireframes, mapping out user flows. These approaches were instrumental in fostering a user-centric
mindset throughout the design process.
Possible solutions:
- Chatbot feature for plant consultations
- Virtual view of plants entered in the application by user feature
- Scanning feature to capture plant and its surroundings (weather, light conditions) to input into application
- Control of smart gardening system (such as watering of plants) via the application
