Mental Spaces
A high degree of personalisation in primary when designing
for homes and connected devices. Given here are a few
spaces designers may explore while designing. This is where
designers can be flexible, they may add, delete or combine
any of the spaces or create some of their own.
Opportunity Areas
Any designer working in the home space has a lot of
opportunities as no two people are the same.The idea
home is different for different people. Few of such gaps
that can be explored by designers are illustrated
here.
Laundry
​
Focus maybe on scheduling of laundry, knowing the
state of clothes or the freshness and the next step
to follow after it.
Cleaning
There are already air purifying technologies but we
can focus on gauging certain parameters like air
quality and amount of dust or germs around.
Cooking
​
We can focus on the stock in the house and nutrition
value in line with my context.
Safety
​
The users should be assured they are safe and let them
know if they are forgetting something before leaving
the house.
Self Care
​
Some simple notifications can be designed to coax users
into taking care of themselves.
