DoggyCare

DoggyShare is a DOG feeder companion app, that interacts with a Kinoma Simulator Device. It has the following features:

• The Device (pet feeder) simulates the water level on a dog bowl as well as the dog's weight: The device uses two Sliders to control the input of data (one for the water level and other for the dog's weight). Then, the device' UI shows the water level and the dog's weight selected using the Sliders. Moreover, it shows dog's pictures to indicate the current state of the dog: dehydrated/thirsty/hydrated for the water level or skinny/healthy/overweight for the dog's weight. Likewise, the UI simulates water level and the dog's weight in two different seasons of the year (Spring/Summer <dogs need more water>, Fall/Winter), making the simulations closer to the real world. For example during hot seasons the dog need to drink more water, so the water level showed during this season is decreased 10oz of the real value, so the dog always has extra water on the bowl.
• The Device communicates to a companion application, controlled by the user, using Kinoma's Cross-Device Communication: It will track the information and make it accessible to the users via a mobile app.
• The companion application interacts with the device simulator. The app displays the information from the dog's feeder, so the user can interact with the device simulator. The app has a button-menu that allows the user to choose between two care options: water level of dog bowl and dog's weight control. After the user choose the kind of care, the UI present the information with visual designs using a chart that displays the last three measures from the pet feeder. Likewise, the UI shows the current dogs mood due the actual conditions on the water level or dog's weight. Thus, dog's pictures indicate the dog's mood:
  - dehydrated (water level < 30oz)
  - thirsty (30oz <= water level< 60oz)
  - hydrated (60oz <= water level < 100oz) for the water level or
  - skinny (weight < 25lb)
  - healthy (25lb <= weight < 75lb)
  - overweight (75lb <= weight < 100lb) for the dog's weight.
  Also The UI shows up health tips for dog's safety. At the bottom there is a black button in charge of triggering a state of change on the simulator. (when it is pressed an animation shows up).

Extras:

-Creative data visualization.

- Include other information about the sensing behaviors, such as health tips, warnings
