Proposal

Home security: Curfews

We were exploring the medium of restrictions(distance) and voice(sound).  We looked into options around home security and thought about curfews and forms of "grounding", when you are not allowed to touch, do certain things, or go outside.  Its about when one is left alone and is more of a conscious than physical reaction. Things that go inside ones head when they are set out rules, whether they follow these rules that exist simply in the mind rather than physical forms. Will these restrictions set on a person that only they know they have restrictions of; will they keep one from interacting and doing other wise when noone else knows?

As the audience, we observe and watch this one individual as they go about doing what they do, scrutinizing them. Will this action pressure the individual to break the rules or apply to them?

 It will be done using an earbud, and RFIDs.  These RFIDs will be placed by certain "home" articles, such as the door, a plant, a couch, a remote to the t.v. and they will set security against doing certain things, setting a curfew on the person. The individual will have a sensor inconspicuously attached to a shirt, and when they pass a certain RFID, they will hear a "conscious" voice of their restriction.  It is their choice to decide to listen or not, and why.

Comments. class opinions

-repeating actions? should the voice stop?

-ideas of whether this will get boring quickly or not?

-record the actions?

-should there be ridiculous curfews and restrictions in every turn an individual makes? or should it be -limited, simple and realistic?

-should we have restrictions that are opposite of curfew, encouraging unsafe actions?

Metaphor
Text
Interface
^reflection of what this is

ego
house metaphor for thoughts

think of how to wear devices (shirts)

what will it say, will it be just curfew or will it also have worry or nagging or a sinister side?
is it your conscious when left alone, and does it grow and become more vocal and crazy or stay same?


house is a place considered as "home" where one rests and find peace and is the escape or end of the day where they go to relax and catch up with family, all "warm fuzzy feeling" stereotypical thought of home but in reality when we get home (because of increase of technology) we worry more and want to update or have more curfews (like no tv watching no cell phone texting after what ever hour, that didnt exist as much when we all didnt have phones when we were little)

so if we don't even enter the house we dont experience these thoughts and curfews doesn't exist until we step past the door and go home inside.

Final Process || Putting together

Calculations were made by taking the measurements of the room which was 21x22ft and then finding the area as in a circle (using 10.5 as the radius) and then dividing out the area into separate "bubbles" and then finding the diameter of each bubble and using that to input into the "how far away" individual space each one had. 

We sewed cloth to the top of the hat and had an opening large enough for all the material to fit into and tried it on to see if the sensor would reach the front of the hats. We tested the chords and the batteries to each one also. 

We did run into a problem of not having enough batter plug ins for the arduino because we took the pack that had 2 of the right plug ins but the other 3 had female inserts instead of the plug in and found some that other students took but were not using. We used electric tape to secure the chords in with the arduino and the sensor.
