sketches











INSERT NEW NAME HERE







The Chillax Room


Original idea is to create a space that people can interact with physical objects and other people. This idea came from the blog reviews on the ‘Boundary Functions’ and ‘Proximity Lab’ amongst other projects we have seen throughout this semester.

Concepts for the ‘Chill Room’

- Multiple persons interacting in space and with objects.
- Aprox area size of 3.5m x 3.5m. Enclosed or semi enclosed space
- Pressure flooring to track objects or people.
- Motion detection for possibly tracking people and the amount of people in the room – this would determine the type of sounds/music played.
- Cushion with RFID tags or other sensors –placeable objects that would interact with other objects
- Projections on Walls – painting on walls / motion being physically represented as graphics / amount of people in room represented






Types of activities: games






Other ideas: Music 

Leading on from one of the original sketches we narrowed the use of the room down to more specific interactions.

Ideas:


- Inputs are through physical motion, such as that of the users shadow and the types of motions and speed.
- Physical representation of a media player.
- A on Wall synthesizer / scratch pad or music pad.
- multiple users or single

Any other sketches would be good, just send them to me or sumthing to include. I'll make more finished ones once we have some more details up on background etc...just not sure what I'm really sketching a.t.m.
