My definition of interaction begins when certain things or organisms establish a reciprocal interrelation where, through a connection, one organism or thing influences the other and causes it to respond in a relative (understanding) manner.
Project 1 (I don’t think is interactive)
This project through a motion sensor makes a cat (in the shape of a skeleton) move which causes children to be frightened.
For example, this project does not align with my definition of interaction since it is not possible to establish a reciprocal relationship. What I mean is that the cat only manages to scare the children. Which has the same purpose as a scarecrow in a crop field. Therefore, there is a non-reciprocal relation due to the fact that the children just react instead of establishing a relationship.
Project 2( Aligns with my definition)
This interactive project aligns with my definition of interaction because it is clear how the mirror and the person have a responsive relation. Where the reaction of one individual triggers the interaction of the other component. The movement of the person and the reaction of the mirror have a dependant co-factor. Is not possible for one to interact and as an effect, activate a reaction of the other. This is not only an interactive project but is also an interactive piece of art. Because the mirroring effect of this wood converts into a beautiful shading effect.
(iMirror, the most interactive project I now)
iMirror is an interactive project where a customized mirror is able to talk to people and recommend them with products according to the status of their skin.
iMirror, is an excellent interactive project that perfectly aligns with my definition of interaction. Yes, I say interactive project! Because the mirror is able to establish a relation with the person through communication (and handing you the products). Here Not only the mirror is talking, but also the people are responding in an adequate manner. The emitting signals are mutual among the two agents causing a well establish reciprocal relation.
