Abstract

In this study we visualize electricity consumption as flowing tap water in order to encourage people to save electricity by raising the feeling of waste. To save electricity, the mainstream is to present its consumption and quick feedback. Additionally we try to evoke the feeling of waste using flowing tap water. We build a prototype system to convert the amount of electricity being consumed into that of flowing tap water. Finally it is shown that the flow rate of tap water changes according to the amount of electricity consumption.
