Just by holding this camera up in front of your eye, it takes a picture. It then tweets this picture to your friends along with your location.
You can choose between doing a “come here” tweet and a “look at this” tweet. It is determined by the quick movement you make after taking the picture. An outwards movement means “I’m just sending this out” and an inwards movement is an invitation to “come here”.
The reciever of the tweet (everyone gets it) can then flip through the tweets, by flipping the camera while holding their hand in front of it (making sure it doesn’t take a picture).
In the video he says he is going to take a picture of a heart. What he means as that he is taking a picture of a heart someone had stomped out in the snow.
To practice enactment in comming up with design ideas we had to do a video.
Unfortunately we misunderstood the assignment a bit (as did everyone else) and did a manuscripted performance.
The theme of the assingment is “TwitterIdo” – basically it’s where your things twitter for you. Like say you made a cup of coffee, instead of sitting down somewhere to write down the tweet, you’d simply let the coffee machine do it for you. Like “Sara is making coffee”.
Anyway, this is the idea of a sound-necklace. It tweets what music you are listening (it recognizes the songs) and your location to your friends. So you don’t have to text them when you’re at a concert. Then they can just come right over.
I know this isn’t a brialliant idea, it’s got some good qualities, but in reality it’s pretty useless. Also, we were told that we didn’t exactly had to invent the wheel on this one.
