PROJECT 1: The Anthropocene
Inspired from my PoH class (and also my partner Katie’s), we want to put the topic of the class the Anthropocene into practice. The Anthropocene is a new geological era where humans’ activities have profound effects on nature. The question of the Anthropocene calls into question humans relationship with nature. We want to create a project that prompts people to reflect on their interaction with nature by giving them environmental feedback on their behavior. Really, we want them to think carefully about the question: how much should humans interfere in nature?
PROJECT 2: Harry Potter around you!
This project’s idea derives from my partner’s love for Harry Potter. For this project, our targeted audience is anyone who is interested in Harry Potter. The user will have the chance to interact with scenes from the movie or even find themselves on the screen. I think it will be an engaging interaction experience because the result totally depend on users, such as the movement of the objects. In addition, inspired by interactive playground and interactive cloud project where a number of people is involved, we want to create a project that involve as many people as possible. We want the users to gain a kind of strength that may help them cope with daily challenges.
PROJECT 3: Listen to the non-human
One interactive audio project online intrigues me. It is created by Playtronica Studio Showreel. The project aims to “immerse people in a reality that fuses touch, sound, and technology. One where everyday objects take on new identities, challenging us to creatively explore the World around us and our relationship with it.” This interests me at first sight because it relates to what I’ve learned in PoH class about humans’ relationship to the surroundings. I think it would be meaningful and interesting to bring such theoretical exploration into practice. The challenge would be to create an immersive interaction to make the user feel his/her connection to the objects and challenges his opinion about the lifelessness of objects.
