We truly appreciate your ideas and hard work. Thank you for your thoughtful communication and collaboration with us throughout this process as the designer.

At this stage, we’d like to share our group’s collective feedback based on your initial ideas. Below, we will outline the features and concepts we’d like to incorporate into the final product, drawing inspiration directly from the thoughtful and creative elements each of you proposed. We believe these refined features will create a product that is both practical and uniquely tailored to meet our user’s needs.

Our Main Selection Is YURUI’s IDEAS. But, we expect you to include these features given below:

Adjustable Light System (Inspired by Fuyuan):

• We’re incorporating Fuyuan’s suggestion for an additional light source for the plant. However, we’re emphasizing that the light should have an adjustable height to accommodate the plant’s growth over time, ensuring it’s positioned correctly as the plant grows.

Nature Sounds Integration (Inspired by Fuyuan):

• Fuyuan’s idea of adding nature sounds is included in a simplified form, allowing users to control these sounds directly on the pot with a button rather than relying on an app. This makes it more practical and accessible for an elderly user.

Cultural Decoration Options (Inspired by Yirui):

• From Yirui’s idea of using Turkish motifs, we suggest applying these cultural patterns selectively on specific areas of the pot to create a clean, aesthetically pleasing design that honors the user’s cultural background.

Interactive Reminder and Feedback System (Inspired by Yirui):

• Taking inspiration from Yirui’s concept of an interactive pot, we propose a simple reminder system that notifies the user about watering or care needs. We suggest implementing an intuitive, single-button interaction to keep it straightforward.

Humidity and Temperature Monitoring (Inspired by Yirui):

• Drawing from Yirui’s sensor-based features, we propose a simplified version that monitors humidity and temperature, providing basic feedback in a way that’s easy for the user to understand.

Rechargeable Battery for Portability (Inspired by Yirui):

• Yirui’s idea of using a rechargeable battery for portability is included, allowing the elderly user to move the pot easily and ensuring it remains user-friendly.

Modular and Customizable Sizing Options (Inspired by Yirui):

• Inspired by Yirui’s idea of modular sizing for different plant types, we propose offering two size options to accommodate various plants while maintaining a customizable and accessible design.

Good luck in the project!
