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 thing you can't live without--Toliet Paper

How do people deal with their personal hygiene before toilet paper was available? Since paper was not invented until much later in history, it depended on where you lived and what kind of the material was reachable. River water, leaves, hay, rag, stone,sand and hand were on the tool list of cleansing your bottom. In coastal area, mussel shells were quite popular. In Indian and Arab world, left hands and three stones . In Hawaii, the coconut shell . In ancient Roman, poor people used public restroom, the solution in it was a sponge on a L-shaped stick, soaking in salt water , which you had to share with everybody and the stick change only one time a day. The wealthy used the much softer and more comfortable wool soaked in rosewater . Fast forward to colonial America, the material of choice was corn cob until newspaper was widely available around 1,700. In the late 19th century, the Sear catalog became a popular choice because of its absorbent material until they started printi
