Actively Caring

This blanket is mindful of user interaction with it. If placed on a chair it detects movement with pressure sensors, sending a gentle reminder if the user has not moved, or changed position in a while, which is needed within many stationary working positions.  

 Although this blanket does not require much fuss, it does require a medium level of humidity within the room. It sends a gentle reminder to raise humidity levels when they are low, giving it a gentle spritz when needed. 

Although this object may not be a speculative alternative for a traditional home object, this story creates an awareness of how many objects provide selfless acts of care to the end user. 

This blanket is designed to remind us to respect the objects we use around us by providing a more active form of care for the objects needs, even if this doesn’t directly relate to ours.
