interactive moments

Working with my 'color in relation to nature' database, I completed three project prompts (6 moments).

PROMPT ONE
Combine 1 motivation with 1 attribute of experience.

For this moment I assigned 'credibility' as the user's motivation and 'framing' for their attribute of experience. After critique we had an hour to story board an improved idea, so I attempted to make the interface more color centric. It was also important for me to keep pushing my visualizations of time.

PROMPT TWO
Design two moments where the user's motivation shifts according to the attribute of experience.

Again, I was looking for new ways of representing time and exploring the possibilities of user interaction. If a user has to hold onto the ball to collect the color data in one moment, how would their motivation shift if their mouse rollover resulted in a color seeking behavior?

PROMPT THREE
Retain a comparable attribute of experience throughout 3 different environments.

The distinction between "I hear you" and "I'm listening to you" is what I wanted to get across in my last three moments—except with the focus being on how we see. By mediating the vision between someone and their environment, I can encourage a different way of seeing. So, the attribute of experience is isolating color in your environment, which was carried through on an iphone, desktop computer, and hand-held spectacles or as Cadie would say, "Interface on your face!"





I was amazed at how difficult it was to reinvent the click (not that that was our implicit goal). But, if a mouse could not go up to an object on the screen, click on it, and make requested information appear...what else could it do instead? Also, since the desktop metaphor is an invented notion, just imagine how different computer experiences would be if the driving metaphor behind them defied the laws of gravity, or interpreted them literally. Both of these scenarios have me imagining a neutral mouse state either floating away or instantly slamming to the bottom of the screen.

Anyhow, I am excited about moving forward with my explorations.
