Workshop

In teams we explored various form of input and outputs and behavior.
This involved writing an extensive list of action verbs representing inputs and outputs.
After which we explored and brainstormed various scenarios and contexts which reflected or where aided by the input and output signals or action.

Medicine Aid

Necklace that is connected to elderly person to remind them to take medication.

As a group we decided to run with the idea of a pill interactive system for the elderly. input- alarm from pill box is sent to necklace.

output-Vibrations and heat are felt from necklace.

              -The specific pill compartment needed is opened or unlock by the necklace                Vibrations and head were the chosen output, as some elderly people are blind and                        have hearing difficulties.

Our interaction design lecturer Yasuhiro Santo suggested that there this concept need to be fleshed much further and suggested how aspects of the design in regards to data collection and server attributes could be used. We began to discuss what exactly the data could be used for and how this data may provide information to the stakeholders to further enhance the design.
 
 This design was thought to communicate data to servers to help further investigation for the obvious companies such as pharmaceutical and Government agencies.
