Family Bonding Enhancer (weDeco)

This project was invented mainly with one general objective of tightening the
relationship between family members through one of home chores where all the
members can join in and contribute, which is home decoration. The decision-making
and implementation of the decorations are made more interactive and fun using the
system that is built based on tangible interaction concept. Arranging the furniture
will be easily done by dragging and dropping objects on the system platform
simulating the real furniture and spaces. With this system, less energy and time will
be consumed, enabling more effective communications throughout the decoration
tasks. The integration or bonding between the family members will be enhanced
stronger as the boring and exhausting home decoration work is turned into an
interesting interactive teamwork task.
The project is developed using Instructional System Design methodology, applying
ADDIE model. Image processing is the teclmology that has been utilized to develop
this project. Using this flexible technology, object recognition has been instilled into
the system to further enhance the interactivity of tangible interaction concept. With
the system that enables fun and interactive home decoration activity, the family
members would interact more, thus, enhancing the bonding between them.
