In the final project, I want to achieve a sensorial switch, like when people touching or pressing things and they will feel the sense of listening or other feelings. Depending on this fundamental rule, I have searched two inventions.
The first one named “Awakening of Insects”, which is in a shape of cloud and can transfer the sounds into lights. Here is its instruction and photos:
” the work “Awakening of Insects” is a group of interactive installations with sound and light. Vent negative energy, be an emotional rebel as the theme, use the combination of sound and light as the interactive form, extract the decibels from the participants, and bring the experiencers into the work through emotional guidance, and determine the decibel level of the sound The ups and downs of light and shade make the participants participate in the interactive sound and light installation ‘Awakening of Insects’. “
And the second invention called “the wall with sounds”, which can switch the touch and pressure into both the sounds and light. Same, there are the introduction and a video:
” Wonderful stories can be heard on the walls. The interactive device of Toshi Technology’s sound handset is composed of a sensing wall and a handset. Various illustrations are drawn on the wall. When you pick up the handset and buckle it on top of a certain illustration, this area will light up and tell you a story through the handset. “
I choose these two interactive project as I think I will do similar things for my final project: transfer feelings.
As for the definition about the interaction, I still think same as the first idea is that interaction is a kind of relationship between two actors like communicating with each other and both of two sides can have a specific reflection from each other. Meanwhile, users can get their reflections from their actions constantly. What’s more, according to the article, the writer said that interaction should be each action leads to response that and then be encouraged or enabled another action. So, I think the real interaction should be continue, which means users can continue to interact with project spontaneously. And both of inventions mentioned before have done this, as they can let users to feel and act in order to get reflections and it is also useful for my final project.
