A micro inertial positioning system to visualize territory defined
by users behaviors of chores.

16. Design for the Elderly: Three Smart Living Objects to Encourage Doing Chores
N3 Visible Territory Floor Lamp x Broom
We design a broom with micro inertial positioning
system which can recognize different users by
their stereotype of sweep, and detect how large
the space is as well as how long sweep takes
place. With wireless transmission, the data is sent
to floor lamp and then to an invisible server to be
transformed in form of different patterns. The
lamp projects the patterns on the wall. These
patterns show everyone’s areas and frequency of
sweep. What you have done, you know better!

17. Design for the Elderly: Three Smart Living Objects to Encourage Doing Chores
N3 Visible Territory GPS x Dog Walker
The unique design can record path, frequency
and position of dog walk and project the
territory built onto ground.
The collar with micro inertial positioning
system can recognize dog’s stereotype, for
example, to define whether it drain or
not. It makes elders expend their territory
unlimitedly with their dogs.
