Introduction

Plantr is an empathetic plant that mirrors your inner state and communicates them to your loved ones who are far way from you. The idea is to have you brush a leaf which has a continuous touch spectrum embedded within it which simulates the intensity of your feelings. The spectrum of light ranges from dim dark to bright green - dim light indicates that you are feeling down, whereas  bright green light indicates that you are feeling happy.

Plantr is an ambient object that subtly blends in with your environment. It does not consume the user's attention when not needed, yet appears when physically engaged. The goal is to use light as a visual language to communicate deeper feelings which are sometimes hard to put into words when your loved one is  away.
