Prototype Ideas


01 Dream Matcher

A machine that can help people not only sharing their dream experience to others but also translating their words into graphic elements and matching with other people's dream. The machine has two sides of input device which locate in the opposite direction and allow two users sit facing each other and sharing one double-side screen. If a group of user, which means a set of two people, type in their stories, the machine will analyze the essay and automatically translate certain keywords into graphic elements and show on the screen which will show on both sides. After they are done with typing, the machine will calculate how many same graphic elements this two people have in common and generate an analysis description (either diagram/light or just text) about their relationship and some silly suggestions.

02 Nightmare La-Mien

There are researches showed that some particular images or plots in our nightmare actually reflect some possible illnesses that our bodies are dealing with. They say it is your body trying to leave you a hint through the subconscious process: dream.
So I want to create a vending machine that can visualize these factors and help people having better awareness of these signs, but at the same time, give them some feedbacks and comforts.
The machine will have many graphical buttons which sorted in 3 different categories: incident, actions and items. User will have to choose one button on each category, after receiving the input, the machine will generate a diagram of a human body, and highlight the parts that might having a problem to remind the user. Then the machine will deliver different flavor of La-Mien depending on the symptom of the user.

03 Dream Analyze machine:

There are already some books and even websites telling people about the meanings of their dreams, but few of them have interesting interactive process. I want to create an interface that not only helping people interpret their dream, but also give them some playful feedback to make them feel entertained and a little bit relief. The machine will automatically translate user's text input into graphic elements, and at the end give a brain-structure diagram of the user and tell the user some silly analysis of their personality and what should their names be in their dream lives. ( or/and name their dreams also?)

04 CSI: Dream Land

For those who consider themselves cant draw but want to recreate the scene of their nightmares, this system/machine can help the user to visualize their dream, by doing so, user will have better way to simply recall their nightmares so they can think the meaning behind it, and also will have better chance to share their experiences to others.
In this system, people will experience a similar process of playing a car-racing video game in order to visualize their nightmares. One has to input his/her name first, and then start to choose the location type of his dream from the graphical scene-sets in the database of the system, and then using the similar method making a series of choices: the graphical figure that represent oneself, the animal, other people and the relation between them, items, emotion/feelings and the atmosphere (music choice). After choosing these elements, the system will generate a scene of the user's dream and store it into database. The user can browse other people’s scene and leave his commentary.

The requirement & the main purpose of my project

What is the main purpose?? 01 to provide/bring back some analog choices that we don't have in current cellphone-communication process. 02 to put an emphasis on emotional needs/actual needs, try to propose some potential solutions to these user's needs, see if the technology can provide any form of help instead of constrain. What is the requirement for my project to be successful? 01 user study....I need more people's real life experiences to tell what are the most common seen emotional needs 02 prototype..... to make my project/proposal easier to understand by providing the visual of the scenarios. (actual implementation? video? animation?) 03 research....research for precedents that related to technology that help resolve human(emotional needs or non-emotional needs) needs, also research on how technology shape people's behavior and form social protocol ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// some thoughts for the experiments : 01

Mobile Awkwardness Jason Tseng Niplus777@gmail.com Abstract In this paper I will discuss the pervasive awkwardness and tensions brought by the omnipresent usage of mobile phone, and propose some simple solutions to these phenomena. As the technology progressing, mobile phone developers tend to integrate more and more new features and functions such as camera, touch screen, mp3 players or the capability to connect to internet, into current cell-phone, but very few efforts were put into reviewing the psychology aspect of the users and the emerging and existed emotional needs caused by the relatively new form of communication. Although there are lots of researches focusing on the social phenomena and social impacts brought by mobile phone, the results seem to have very few influences upon the development of cell-phone. My intention here is to highlight the most often seen emotional needs pervading in modern communicational process, mainly focusing on the process of “using cell phone to ta
