The main task of our research project was developing a product and brand. We want to fix the current issues with automated vent products and improve on the design.

One of the problem areas of current products are their UI/UX designs. They are not user friendly and utilize a dated design that does not match current app design standards.

Our better design must be developed and coded to have functionality that improves on and exceeds current brands.

The communication and functionality between software and hardware must be completed, and we've utilized tools like MicroPython to do so.

A vent prototype must be designed, keeping in mind mechanics, technology, and the improvements needed.

A working prototype is in progress to allow for multiple vents to work together controlled by an application.
