In terms of implementation, two works that we looked at were Fenestra and Project Oasis. Fenestra is a connected system (mirror, picture frame, and candle) that is activated when a user lights the candle [4]. After looking at the study we found that there was something meaningful in having something physical that connects you to a loved which is why we decided to have a two-part product.

On the other hand, Project Oasis is a self-sustaining plant ecosystem that reflects the outside weather conditions [5]. This provided a solid foundation for what we wanted our product to feel like and from there we identified new interactions and functionality.
