However, as we shared our idea with the class, we realized that our concept would conflict with the usability of the space as two people sitting next to each other would be interpreted as a nap and would result in closing the blinds.

To consider the intended purpose of the space, we decided to have 10 pressure plates on the couch and detect a pattern in the triggered plates so that the system would capture a person’s resting position accurately.

An additional advantage that we got when sharing our idea was the recommendation of using a stepper motor instead of a servo as it would provide a better functionality. However, as none of us worked with stepper motors, we encountered some difficulties as we were learning how to wire and program it properly.
