The data from a Tree Talker sensor will be transformed into lines of poetic text. The device will allow to check on the well-being of the tree every half an hour.
Did you ever want to hear a tree talk? Did you ever want to feel how the water goes up the tree crones? How does the wind feel for the tree? This project is based on the idea of the Internet of Trees (IoT) verbalizing the tree sensualities.
A poetry generator producing iterations based on Tree Talker+ sensor data.
