In this progress report, we present scenarios and skethes that a user can interact with the "interative potted plant" to pass our care and love to the remote beloved.

Originally, the project was called an "Affective Bear", which is an interactive stuffed bear that provides a tangible interface for communication and medical care. This stuffed bear is used to represent the mental and physiological status of a remote friend, family member, or beloved. For example, when the bear is lowering its head, it represents the other is feeling low. To show care for the remote others, you can interact with the stuffed bear and the system would trigger feedbacks in the remote site to cheer her up. For example, by touching the bear's head, relaxing music would be played remotely.

However, we have slightly changed our project direction; we switches the interactive to a potted plant.
