Sensor data became something the Learning Center staff could actually read, and use to decide how to take care of their plants.
Made with JSON, Web UI, Processing and Sensor data.

Garden Sensor Network
A web interface for a learning-center garden wired up with light, temperature, and moisture sensors. Built at UCSD with a cross-discipline engineering team.
The problem
Sensors were streaming readings as JSON, but no one at the center had a way to see them in context.
What I built
Designed and implemented the web UI on top of the incoming JSON stream. Collaborated with computer science, electrical, and mechanical engineers on the surrounding hardware-software stack, and extended a Processing-based UCSD Music Video Game in the same program.
Where it is now
Turned a raw JSON sensor stream into a readable interface non-technical staff could act on. Built as part of UCSD TIES at the Town and Country Learning Center.
