[Index Post - Duo Project]
Friday afternoon drink #4: Project closure.
After a long project we have to hand in our portfolios and call it a day. It was a really good learning experience with a lot of trial and error and pitfalls.
We started out this project with the desire to connect people using the kinect, which transformed very quickly into making generative art with the kinect. [click here].
After that we decided to do some research into playful interaction and we slowly changed our vision into wanting to show grownups the importance of playful interaction. So we decided to form our vision by defining what playfulness means to us by defining some core values and running a questionnaire. [click here]
We pinned our vision here: [click here].
After that we kind of fell into our own pitfall: Adults don’t play, we kind of crawled out of this by proving our vision in a very playful fashion: by playing around with the arduino and creating a lot of random stuff.
My ideas included Glowing building blocks: [click here]
A decision maker : [click here]
And a cup phone synthesizer: [click here]
All and all we have had a lot of fun doing those projects .
