Open Questions and Next Steps
The aspect of taking away human agency in this interaction remains unresolved, and I’d like to implement servo motors if I have time. The weather prediction algorithm also remains unimplemented. I could actually do more there. Instead of learning how to predict weather from the Pittsburgh weather dataset, the object could have its own idiosyncratic way of foretelling the weather. One big challenge that remains is the fact that this project relies on changes in ambient temperature over time, which poses difficulty for demoing and documentation. A possible solution is to simulate different environments during demo with electronic components like fans.
Since this is a rather simple idea, the question of what role such a technology that helps humans connect to the weather can play in a person’s home can be further explored. More iterations and even testing would be beneficial to understand how “animistic” this object actually feels to people.
