After analyzing our human factors work, we decided to focus on an interaction with the amount of energy used in homes on a daily basis.  So we brainstormed and decided to build a few prototypes that allowed the user to "feel" the energy that is running through there house.  

We are planing to change electricity from an invisible mystery to something the user can feel and interact with.  This will put the customer back in control of there energy consumption through direct feed back. 

Just put your hand down to feel the "pulse" of your home.

Here is the MDS 9000, it is an interface that allows the user to feel and control the energy consumption of the home.  you can feel the"pulse" in the switch and change your consumption level by moving the lever up or down.
