PROCESS WORK
Project Goal
Create a smart home system that integrates all home functions (temperature control, security, appliance control, ect.) into a single device so users have complete control of their home whether they're on the go or in the house.
ABOUT THE APPLICATION
Mi Casa is a fully integrated smart home system. The main wall unit acts as the central hub for all home functions. From comfort to security, Mi Casa creates a seamless user experience that allows for total home control and customization. Controls are accessed on an in-home wall controller or on a tablet/mobile device when you’re away.
Design Trends
GESTURES
Concept home systems use hand gestures to flip through menu options and select options. However, most are only product concepts and very few are actually fully developed and functional.
Voice activation
Many home systems utilize voice commands and make changes based on verbal orders from the user.
SIMPLICITY IS KEY
Text is limited and images/icons and visuals play a key role in getting information across to the user quickly. Colors are very simple and the type is clean.
Core Features
