After the tutorial this week, I decided to base my project around the “smart home commune” idea, as it has in my opinion a wider scope for creativity, and more practical usage, as it can help deal with problems in society shown by the 17 SDGs, such as reducing energy consumption, helping to protect the environment and improving infrastructure.
Smart Home Commune
The project aims to create a new system of resource sharing among smart homes, reducing energy consumption as commodities are not lying unused. The community will also be able to meet virtually in augmented reality spaces.
The project will bring communities together with cooperative smart infrastructure and home integration, with smart devices such as autonomous cars, robots and smart home appliances owned by the community, and transported to each home or member of the community when needed. This will reduce waste as each home does not need to have its own appliances which are not needed all the time. Augmented reality integration will also allow communities to link all over the globe, bringing friends and relatives into the same virtual space.

How might we promote cooperation within communities through use of smart home techology?
