This week we explored three different situations that we thought might be made more interesting or meaningful with some sort of technological intervention.
1. What if your lamp could sense when you are feeling lonely?
We are interested in how a lamp could possibly help with feelings of loneliness or even depression, perhaps turning on when the weather has been bad, giving you more light in your home.
2. What if your nightstand could detect when you were getting ready for bed or needed to wake up?
We thought it could be interesting if your nightstand could somehow aid in preparing you for sleep or getting you up in the morning. Possible inputs it could sense would be the time, or movement in your bedroom.
3. What if a public bench could interpret a moment?
This is definitely our favorite idea of the three. We think it could be interesting if a public bench could sense when a person sat down, and compiled contextual data, such as the time, weather and location, and used that to return some sort of receipt, artifact or memento potentially adding meaning to the situation for the user.
