空氣汙染存在時，PM2.5是不時侵襲民眾的呼吸系統，多虧科技發展的成果，民眾可隨時監控空氣品質狀況，準備自身防護用品措施。然而，空氣並非靜止不動，室內空氣品質也時常為大眾忽略，使得民眾間接也受到了空汙影響。因此，本研究希望能用更生動活潑的方式，提高室內空氣品質偵測資訊的人性度，取代現今一般的資訊提醒方式，並且加入空間互動元素，增加室內空間的互動，期望提升民眾對室內空氣品質的重視，以及增加生活中的樂趣。 因此，將空氣汙染藉著創意發想，設計在日常生活當中的綠色產品，將機器車結合感測器所蒐集的室內空氣汙染數據做移動，外觀結合可以降低空氣汙染的植物，設計成像一顆毛茸茸的綠球，製造出療癒整個空間的效果，最終成為一顆和室內空汙數據作互動的療癒小寵物：Furry Plantoid。透過數位製造的方式，結合自然以及人工，將動物的行動力融合植物的可愛特性，將靜態的植物轉變成動態，製造成可愛又療癒的新寵物，許多人喜歡在室內種植小盆栽來療癒自己，其反映出人的都有回歸自然的本性，因此，希望可以藉著Furry Plantoid，讓人們曉得自己長時間待的空間中所流動的空氣品質，對於自己周遭的空氣多一份關心，也對自己的健康多一份警示，實踐綠色生活的新型態。 As air pollution exists, respiratory system usually be affected by particulate matter (PM2.5). Nowadays, citizens are able to prevent air pollution by monitoring air quality with their mobile device. However, air is flowing, people often ignore indoor air quality, which also affected people indirectly. Therefore, this project dedicates to replace current message reminder with a different way, which is more energetic and humanized for indoor air quality detecting and reminding, to increase citizen’s attention on indoor air quality. Thus, after having several times of brainstorming, this project try to design a furry green ball call Furry Plantoid. It’s consist with a robot car and sensors to collect indoor air quality data, with the plants that could improve air quality set on the top of Furry Plantoid. This project creates a brand new pet that combines mobility of animals and charming of indoor plants through digital manufacturing for people to make them happier, meanwhile, Furry Plantoid will also detect indoor air quality for people, let them pay more attention to the relation between health and indoor air quality.
