Mo’Body
March 7th, 2008 by yp392This was Mid-term.
Midge and I were toying with the idea of playing with images and stuff that you would do specifically with your mobile phone.And the we came up with this public installation idea - A simple Mash-up of pictures of different parts of the body contributed by the general public and displayed on a big screen.
This is how it works — The web-page (which is a flash file) is displayed on a big screen…with all the information.So you can text Mobody to 41411 and upload a picture in the url that comes to you in the message. Label the picture as head/body or legs and then submit it…You’ll see this uploaded to the screen in less than 30 secs.
Here is the screen shot - click on it to go to the actual url
This project is up for user-testing on the floor. We’ve seen people have fun with this…Also it works really well in an area where people know each other.It’ll be interesting to see how people interact with in a more public space… Would they still be interested?Some suggestions that came in during class discussions - add the functionality to scroll through archives.
