Project 2 - Object
Fanyun Peng, Nyantee Asherman
Brainstorming
Questions
-
How might we design an object that can explore human perception of time?
-
How can we design a series of objects that reveal the relationship between time as we’ve constructed it and our biological clock or circadian rhythm?
Precedents
-
“The more detailed the memory, the longer the moment seems to last. ‘This explains why we think that time speeds up when we grow older," Eagleman said - why childhood summers seem to go on forever, while old age slips by while we’re dozing. The more familiar the world becomes, the less information your brain writes down, and the more quickly time seems to pass.’”
Statement
-
We prototyped a pair of glasses that can sense the user’s perception of time and augment the speed of their visual perception accordingly.
Demo
Process
Prototype 1 -Glasses
-
We use joystick to change the speed of video to mimic the situation in the future that the glasses can sense human emotions and then to change the speed of view at the real time
User testing
Feedback
-
1. Real Time is difficult to implement.
-
2. Augmenting reality in real time may have potential danger.
-
3. Try to separate the functions into more than one objects.
-
4. Try other objects to convey the concept.
Prototype 1 -Glasses
-
We prototypes a pair of earrings that would make the user aware of their sense of time by using only audio feedback. The earrings produce a clock or alarm-like tone that can speed or slow according to feedback from the user.
