UBUNTU
INTRODUCTION
Smart hydroponic system that automatically monitors plants and promotes communication between planters.
DESCRIPTION
Ubuntu is an African term, indicating "I am because we are". This hydroponic system as well as the "Green" community, will exist as a result of the efforts of every plant lover.
Ubuntu is intended for use in the workplace or on school campuses to promote communication between colleagues and students and to assist individuals in relieving stress through greens.
Each planter will adopt plants and place them in the Ubuntu. As the plant grows, planters may use their smartphones to connect to Ubuntu and monitor the plant's wellness.
Additionally, the app enables users to keep photo diaries and communicate with other planters, therefore stimulating the growth of a "Green" community.
