Dracaena and Sprig

Continuation of a research project to study the effect of people's personality on inamnimate objects, namely plants. In this project, I went to a random building, uprooted a plant and left it there with a sign that said, "Seeking Human Kindness". Then I simply recorded the results.

Dracaena - The plant I did experiment with

Sprig - The plant motion sensor speaker inside

The Experiment:

Uproot Dracaena with a sign to prompt people to take care of it.

Throughout the day, I returned to the location and took pictures of what was happening to the plant.

Final Result:

A log of what happened during the experiment + Sprig, a plant that would speak to you as you walked past it.

Sprig was created to humanize the experiences of Dracaena. Sprig would voice everrything the first plant had gone through.

Using an Arduino UNO, an ultrasonic and a speaker, I was able to bring Sprig to life.
