Description
Scientific publications (Mejdell et al. 2016; Baragli et al., 2015; Gabor and Gerken, 2010; Cooper, 1998) recently demonstrated that horses can be teached to mark and signalize their physical condition.
My prototype is designed that way to help both humans and horses communicate with each other. The target user is a horse, who signalizes her physical state pressing the preinstalled button at the stall. When she presses it, lights implemented inside are switched on, and the signal is being sent to the owner on the mobile app so that he can know that the horse wants a blanket (horse rug) to be put on.
Prerequisites: the horse knows letters and basic interaction with a human in an alternative way, also she knows the meaning of letters and associations which comes with each letter.
What action / feeling/ experience does your sensor sketch evoke? Why?
Movements, brain capacity, memory load; feeling of safety and satisfaction. People often misinterpret equine needs, that is why it can be useful to know horse’s opinion through her actions
What sensorial properties/ qualities (shape, colour, texture, structure, temperature, movement etc.) can be sensed through our senses (sight, hearing, sense of smell, taste sense, sense of feeling… space, balance) to evoke that feeling/ experience/ inspire to the action?
Light is needed in the stable if there are several horses, it is an easy signal what horse wants a rug in a concrete moment. Also it is a source of information both for horse and human that her action is being detected. Senses: sight, touching.
