Affective educational application of fish tank hydroponics system

Abstract

This project develops algorithms for the design and implementation of an embedded system in hydroponic gardens for homes located on roofs, terraces, and even in kitchens in the house; since a fishbowl is used. Vegetables, flowers, etc. are contemplated. One plant was obtained per seed. The development and care of Nature is also a special theme of this project with the objective of educating in the care of the environment, for which it is essential not to overlook the affection that one has for life. It is here that it is important to ensure that plants can transmit the physical conditions in which they find themselves through an emotional interface that translates the lack of water into an emotional state of sadness; or enough moisture with a state of joy. Thus a technique is presented, which allows through affective or emotional interfaces to educate owners about the care of the plant and take advantage of the emotional states of the people for the development of educational software.
