Project 5
Breathing On Mars
At some point in the future, the Earth will become uninhabitable because of the damage people have done to the environment. Currently, scientists have been studying Mars to try to find a way for people to survive on Mars. This project is about how people can breathe on Mars and establish a symbiotic relationship with plants.

Problem
People's lives are getting better, but they are not satisfied with the current life, and accelerate the exploration of the earth. Therefore, the environment becomes worse. In the long run, if people continue to destroy the environment, the earth will become uninhabitable. Scientists have discovered that Mars is the planet most similar to Earth, and exploration of Mars has begun. In the future, if people have to live on Mars. How to establish a symbiotic relationship between people and plants on Mars to enhance the connection between people and plants?

“Mars Reform Program"
The survival of living creature is inseparable from water, sunlight and oxygen. The reform of the environment of Mars can make it suitable for human.
Water
Temperature
Oxygen
About 3 billion years ago, Mars was wet. Most of the water on Mars currently exists under the permafrost in the form of ice.
The dry ice on Mars sublimates into gas rises to form the atmosphere. Part of the sunlight reflected from the surface will be reflected again by the atmosphere and create green-house effect.
Carbon dioxide and water can be converted into oxygen by sunlight with the help of plants.

Plants Which Produced Oxygen
Reasons for choosing algae
-
Very strong reproductive ability
-
Survive in any temperature
-
Little growing area required
-
Small amount of water required
If in the future, people still destroy the environment, the earth will really be uninhabitable in one day, and people have to move to Mars. How should people live with plants on Mars?

Storyboard
1
The user needs to visit the oxygen supply station regularly to do inspection and maintenance of the oxygen generator.
2
The user talks to the robot at the supply station to explain her needs.
3
The employee go to the studio to check and repair the oxygen generator.
4
During the waiting period, the user use the holographic projection screen to redeem algae points for products.
5
The user gets the oxygen generator that has been inspected, as well as the product that has been redeemed.
6
The user takes on the oxygen generator.
