Para qué sirve
Aimed at the emotional void of pet owners after losing pets, this modular product integrates wind chimes, electronic flowerpots, info - storage & projection. It offers multi - sensory comfort, continuing pet memories and relieving sorrow.
Qué te inspiró
The deep bond between people and pets, along with the pain of losing them, inspired me. Observing that existing pet memorial products mostly focus on physical keepsakes but fail to fully address emotional needs—like the longing to relive memories or feel a continued connection—pushed me to act.The solution draws from multi - sensory interaction and the concept of “life continuation”.
Cómo funciona
This pet memorial product integrates multiple technologies for emotional connection. The wind chime module uses a precision - tuned acoustic structure: when air flows, the lightweight metal chimes vibrate at 20 - 20000Hz (audible range), triggering memory recall via sound.The electronic flowerpot embeds pet ashes into a nutrient - rich seed - growing medium. A smart sensor system (humidity, temperature sensors + micro - controller) auto - adjusts water/light (e.g., soil humidity < 30% activates micro - pump watering), symbolizing life continuity as plants grow.The information storage module relies on a high - speed flash memory chip (e.g., 128GB NAND Flash) to save photos, videos, and sounds. Bluetooth 5.0 enables wireless sync with mobile devices—users upload data via a dedicated app,
Proceso de diseño
1.Problem Sensing：Noticing pet owners’ deep grief post - loss and the lack of emotional - focused memorial products, I decided to create a multi - sensory, interactive solution. 2.Concept Drafting：Brainstormed ideas like “life continuation” (planting with pet ashes) and “memory revival” (storing & projecting pet info). Combined wind chimes, smart flowerpots, storage, and projection into a modular system. 3.Prototyping Details：Wind Chime Module：Tested materials (metal, bamboo) for optimal sound. Chose lightweight alloy for clear, gentle tones, fixed it in a weather - resistant casing. 4.Electronic Flowerpot：Mixed pet ashes with biodegradable seed - embedding gels. Added soil sensors (humidity, pH) and a micro - watering pump. Programmed auto - care: waters when humidity < 40%, adjusts light via LED strips. Info Storage
Qué lo hace diferente
What makes this design unique lies in its holistic multi - sensory & interactive experience. Unlike common pet memorials that focus on single - form preservation (e.g., simple urns or photo frames), it integrates: 1. Sensory Fusion: Wind chimes (auditory, triggering memories), electronic flowerpots (visual/tactile, symbolizing life continuation via pet - ash - infused growth), info storage (preserving diverse digital memories), and AI - driven projection (interactive, simulating pet “presence”). 2. Modular Customization: Users combine modules (wind chime + flowerpot + storage + projection) based on needs, adapting to different grief stages. 3. Tech - Enabled Empathy: The projection uses AI to analyze pet photos/videos, creating personalized 3D interactions (e.g., “pet” responds to gestures). This goes beyond static remembrance, turning grief into dynamic, healing connections.
Planes para el futuro
Future directions focus on deeper personalization and ecosystem expansion. First, integrate AI to analyze pet - owner interaction data, auto - generating tailored memorial content (e.g., dynamic projection scenarios based on daily routines). Next, develop a cross - device platform: connect with smart home systems, letting the product sync with ambient lighting/music for immersive remembrance.
