As computing becomes more ubiquitous in our objects, designers need to be more aware of how to design meaningful interactions into electronically enhanced objects. At the University of Washington, a class of junior Interaction Design majors is exploring this question. These pages chronicle their efforts.

Tess & Jordan chair construction

We first soldered all the wires together, extended some wires, and then cut into the back of our chair to hide the arduino. We then covered the whole chair in nice black fabric. The speaker is close to the top so the person sitting can hear the beep but the aruduino is near the bottom by the light sensor which only shows slightly in the crack between the top and bottom the chair.  The arduino is as discrete and sneaky as possible. Now, this chair looks like any regular office chair that someone would work in, but has the extra beeps of incentive to take breaks!
