Fleur

Fleur ubiquitous computing prototype

Fleur is a ubiquitous computing prototype built to create ambient email notifications using flowers. The goal was to reduce the stress associated with digital alerts by providing a calming, physical feedback loop.

Each flower is associated with a specific Gmail contact or label. LEDs within the flowers illuminate when unread emails arrive and turn off once the messages are read. This project was built using Arduino and a custom Python script for Gmail parsing.
