Task 1 - User Interface Design (UI)
Task 1 - User Interface Design (UI)
Most people struggle to comprehend air quality-related numerical values and graphs (e.g., red, yellow, green, PPM/PPB), as they lack a tangible understanding. While concepts like "5KGs" are easily visualized, values like "200 PPB" are abstract and difficult to grasp. This communication gap hinders widespread adoption of air purification solutions, as users fail to intuitively understand and relate to the problem. Without this intuitive connection, users may not feel motivated to take action toward improving air quality.

Task 2 - User Experience Design (UX)
Air purification technologies are not widely adopted due to key gaps in user experience. Users frequently struggle to determine if their purifiers are effective, as they often move them around, leading to inconsistent coverage. Additionally, many users avoid manually maintaining their air purifiers, especially when costly filter replacements are required. This lack of understanding regarding the range and overall effectiveness leaves users uncertain if their investment is truly yielding results, hindering greater adoption of these solutions.
