In Memoriam

Ony Yan

The anonymity in big cities leads increasingly to cases, where deceased are not discovered for weeks. In Memoriam is a two-part home system that draws attention to deaths in a household more quickly: It consists of odor detectors, sensing organic compounds during decomposition and a lamp, which is installed at the main entrance. Triggered by the detectors, the lamp releases light as a signal. This communicates the death case to the community in a dignified manner and calls for action if needed.
