Project Development Studio Fall 08

Dream
I think it is meaningful that people always want to interact with something. As the world moves toward digital technology, people tend to heavily dependent on high technology so that they are getting to forget more people friendly interfaces such as speech, handwriting,and so on. For example, a phone can translate languages in real time so I can talk to people even they are in other countries more easily. Here is another example. I can easily find a photo that I want to find in thousands of photos in multiple computers at home. Like this, people always want to interact with machine in real life. My dream is making people happy. If anybody sees my work and feels relaxed or touched or happy or comfortable in one moment, I would behappier than that person.

Vision
"The Interactive Table" for my project will make people (friends, family) sitting together and having great time to interact person to person or person to table. Hopefully they will forget their daily routine life in one moment.

Goal
"The Interactive Table" this is a table using LEDs and sound. Each LED has own sound. So when person moves his hand or put something ontable, the sensor detects every movement and it makes LED light up with making sound. And I’m thinking about camera detecting as well. I never use camera detecting before, so it will be big challenge for me.
