The Smarter Switch to Light Your Home

Did you know?

In the United States, roughly 21% of all energy consumption comes from residential lighting in homes.

Across the world, lighting contributes over 15% of all electricity used in homes on average per year.

Design Interaction

Prototype

After moving on from ideation, geometry and tactile feel were determined to be the most ideal factors for encouraging interaction.

Final Product

First Steps

My first step was to explore different forms and geometry to determine which forms would encourage user interaction.

How It Works

What aspects of a design influence a person to interact with said design?

Geometry?

The Feel?

The Action?

How can we use these principles to create a light switch that encourages interaction, and therefore helps to reduce lighting usage in homes across the states?
