waterbot

29 July 2005

waterbot.jpga (scary?) visualization device that uses visual & auditory reminders to help users track their water usage. two illuminated bar graphs indicate current & average household water usage. 'appealing color patterns' in the water appear at random time intervals to reward & mark breakthroughs in water savings. 'positive auditory messages & chimes' every time the tap is closed act as positive reinforcements for having closed the tap. also included: colored water effects depending on water temperature, similar to hansacanyon & faucet friend.
