week 8 in-class exercise

In today's lecture, I had a great experience. Because I watched many videos about Non-traditional physical interactions. I like this kind of things. Then we were asked to come up with some non-traditional  physical interactions and take Email, Twitter and Super Mario Bros as examples.

Here are some ideas that I am interested at. Some of them come from class.

Email:

• People can use a physical panel to control reply, create a new email and so on. For example, user can do  'U' gesture to control the function of reply.
• Set a sensor in a bottle of medicine, and connect the bottle to email. When users take medicine and activate the sensor, it will email to users's boss automatically and tell the boss they are sick. So, users don't need to email their boss by themselves. 
• The email system can tell the type of emails, and it will classify these emails. Then using different way to inform users.

Twitter

• Make a model like the logo of Twitter, and use Twitter through it. For example, uses can twitter something by talking to the model, or let the model tell users what is happening on Twitter. 
• Use VR(virtual reality) to let messages present at anywhere.

Super Mario Bros

• Use an air pump to let Mario jump.
• Control the game use your body.  When you jump, Mario jumps. When you go forward, Mario goes forward too. 
• If it is possible, built a yard  and the facilities is similar to Super Mario Bro. People can play the game in real word. Meanwhile, people can control the role because it connects the computer or somethings.
