LIVEMORE

Inspiration

The inspiration for this project came from how we were taught about sustainability in school. We learned all the skills, we knew that it was important, but ultimately forgot to what we learned when it mattered most. Our project aims to change that.

What it does

LIVEMORE educates users on simple and effective sustainability practices in the from of daily tasks. Completing daily tasks rewards users with energy points (ENR) which can be used to grow and develop their LivTree. LIVEMORE also provides tips that teach users easy sustainability skills that are applicable to daily life.

How we built it

We built the LIVEMORE prototype using Figma with the help of open source UI kits. The current prototype is designed for the iPhone 16.

Challenges we ran into

Our biggest challenge was trying to come up with a way to entertain and retain users. Based on our on experience, we knew that notifications alone would not be enough to get users to use the LIVEMORE app. This is what led us to introducing the LivTree feature. This way, sustainability is not just treated as a chore, but a fun journey users get to go on as they learn about the sustainable practices they can implement into their daily life.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The main thing that we are proud was our ability to learn Figma in a relatively short period of time despite having little to no prior experience with the technology. We also feel satisfied with the amount of knowledge we gained over UX principles such as visibility, user control, and consistency, and how to apply them in our application prototype.

What we learned

Through this designation, we learned a lot about using Figma to create prototypes. In particular, our use of the Figma UI kits taught us the importance of UI/UX design and how incredible difficult it is to design an application from scratch. Additionally, as a team, we learned a lot about how to communicate our ideas and needs to one another.

What's next for LIVEMORE

Now that the initial prototype for LIVEMORE has been created, our goal is improve on it based on the feedback we receive. Our hope is that the general public is interested in an application such as LIVEMORE, so that we may release a full version someday in the future. However, if not enough interest is garnered, the team does not see any point in continuing development of LIVEMORE in a serious way, but may use it as a starting point for other ideas.
