| Make a wish by a cellphone and spread good karma to your beloved ones. | ||
| Tree is a symbol of eternity and long life in Asian culture. Therefore, people in Asian countries worship trees just as they worship other gods. Besides going to a temple, people also write notes and knot then on the tree to wish good luck for themselves and their beloved ones. Taking advantage of SMS, we would like to provide people a different user experience to make a wish. Users textmessage their wishes and the computer will visualize messages as 3D objects and shown on the tree. | ||
| Background: | It's an experimentation for us to combine cellphone technique with Max/jitter application. | |
| Audience: | All the cellphone users. | |
| User Scenario: | In a public place(store, public square), a person sends his/her new year wishes to an email account and those good wishes will be shown up on a tree on the screen. | |
| Technical System Description: | An application is running on one computer to read text message from the remote server. On the screen, there is a big tree on which there are some goodwish notes. Every note(made in 3D MAYA) is generated based on the text message that the computer receives. | |
| Project References, Research and Literature: | Ana Serrano's project: SEED Dennis Crowley's company: Dodgeball.com Kuan Huang's project: MineSweeper | |
| Conclusions: | We have better sense of how text message can help people interact with the space and installations. | |
