PID2008 HW 4

Homework 4 - Project Idea

• Present a design for a musical physical interaction. Consider:
  • Skill: who can use it?
  • Learning: how long will it take to learn?
  • Expression: can the user develop a model of the sound space and achieve a desried sound? is this important?
  • Improvisation: repeatable but instant response
  • Intuitiveness: is the mapping clear for the performer? for the audience?

Tips:

• Think about project ideaS (note the 's' which means "more than one")
• Don't get married to one idea
• Talk to classmates about your ideaS.

• Bring sketches, plans, alternative ideas, props or parts. You may find that an Interaction Design Framework diagram is helpful.
