Since last project update we have laid out our exact purpose in this project, built the wave board, agreed on using a touch sensor to activate the audio.
From this point, we need to finish building the sensor, finish recording, and get the code written. No problem.
Concept:
The basic idea is this: we are addressing the fundamental truth that everyone has an issue balled up inside of them, whether it be something in the past that affected someone's life or whether it be a current struggle someone is dealing with. Interaction and the things people do are reflections of everything that makes them human, including their struggles or pasts.
In observing the bus stop, we concluded that it was a place where everyone is anticipating GOING somewhere. They are just momentarily waiting for the process of going to start. In this process of waiting to go, people are plugged in, listening to iPods, playing games on smartphones, or just sitting.
Our idea is to utilize this waiting place by installing an audio piece that reacts to someone sitting on a bench. The audio will speak out quotes and sayings about the possibilities of change in a persons life.
