week 14. phenomenological study

Electric Materialities and Interactive Technology by Pierce & Paulos

Project 3
[step 4]
1. develop at least 3 possible prototypes (simple forms) for something to be aware (in your previous project) (based on "variational method": e.g. Husserl's imaginative variations, Ihde's perceptual variations)
    "One can         "
2. present "phenomenologically -informed analysis" of these prototypes.
    (a) what is the ordinary ? How do people see "the ordinary"?  (specify at least 3 themes)
    (b) what do your prototypes mean, in contrast to the ordinary? compare them. (specify at least 3 themes)

3.  Propose one "interactive form" to highlight your findings from above results
    (a) describe this prototype, and build diegetic prototype, (physical prop), illustrate with photos
    (b) present phenomenological analysis with rich interpretations (specify at least 3 themes)

4. propose possible design implications and design strategies
5. conclusion.
