A FEW RANDOM IDEAS - DESIGN FOR INTERACTION

'…Design boundaries can be thought of as very elaborate systems of control'.
'The users of new media are becoming the content of the form'.
(P. Marshall, 2004, New Media Cultures, Arnold Press: London Pp.18)

So i had a quick look at interactivity and heres some interesting video's I found:



Interactive Cocktail Bar (above)





Interactive Cinema (above) - The audience playing Pong and driving a car!?

Yes it could easily be somebody simply watching the audience and controlling a big game of pong on his computer. But nevertheless it is an interesting concept! How can I involve more than one person with my interactive piece!? Not just multi-touch but multi-sensor!?

How could I present my Idea?

• Interactive DVD & Film - Play around with Non-Linear Narratives etc. (Pulp Fiction, Sliding Doors, Run Lola Run, Memento) You control the story!? Different outcomes etc. etc. You can choose your character and therfore persepective on the film (when going into Cinema you can put on headset and experience something completely different to somebody else)
• Interactive Game (Time - Based / Flash etc.)
