Habitat: Awareness of Life Rhythms over a Distance Using Networked Furniture

The demands of modern working life increasingly lead people to be separated from loved ones for prolonged periods of time. Habitat is a range of connected furniture for background awareness between distant partners in just such a situation. The project particularly focuses on conveying the patterns of daily routines and biorhythms that underlie our well-being, in order to provide a sense of reassurance and a context for communication between people in relationships.
