Research



Idea


  • Idea came from own experience as a pet lover
  • Bad environment could cause mental/ physical health issues
  • Animals feel as much as men do; they can also be in a state of depression 
  • Wanted to create something that keeps our pets in an ideal world
  • So what features are the most necessary for pets?


Goals


  • Target: create an app that makes both a pet and an owener satisfy.
  • Simplicity: intuitive user interface design; users should know what they are supposed to tap right away.
  • Consistency: each page should be based on a consistent layout.
  • Color: use bright and vivid colors to make an app fresh and alive 













Ideation





App Features

  • Light: to set dim lights; pets prefer dark to too bright light
  • Thermostat: to set the perfect room temperature
  • Camera: to watch and be aware of behaviors when out of sight
  • Speaker: to play music to prevent saparation anxiety when the owners are absent
