Ambient adjustment in living spaces

KOSTADINOVSKI, DEJAN (author), Mahnič, Viljan (mentor)

Different studies confirm that a specific adjustment of the lighting, music and scents positively influences the people's mood, concentration and quality of life. In this thesis we designed and developed a system, which allows the user to adjust the ambient in living spaces. Ambient is adjustable through the controllable part of a system consisting of a Wi-Fi enabled chip, LED strip lights, speakers and small fans spreading pleasant scents. The user is able to control this part of the system through a web application in real time. We also conducted a survey in which each participant testing the system answered a questionnaire about how he/she feels before and after using the system. Results showed that after the use of our system positive affect increases, whereas negative affect decreases.

• Title: Prilagajanje ambienta v bivalnih prostorih

Abstract

Različne študije potrjujejo, da primerna osvetlitev, glasba in vonjave pozitivno vplivajo na razpoloženje, koncentracijo in kakovost življenja posameznika. V tej magistrski nalogi smo zasnovali in razvili sistem, ki uporabniku omogoča prilagajanje ambienta v bivalnih prostorih. Ambient se lahko prilagaja preko krmilnega dela sistema, sestavljenega iz čipa, ki ima integrirano povezljivost z brezžičnim omrežjem, LED lučk, zvočnikov in majhnih ventilatorjev, ki širijo prijetne vonjave v bivalnih prostorih. Uporabnik lahko nadzoruje sistem preko spletne aplikacije v realnem času. Izvedli smo tudi anketo, v kateri je vsak udeleženec, ki je testiral sistem, odgovoril na vprašalnik o tem, kako se počuti pred in po uporabi našega sistema. Rezultati so pokazali, da se po uporabi našega sistema pozitivno počutje poveča, negativno pa zmanjša.
