Idea for the Midterm
I’m very exited about my next project with Emily and Gordie, bellow is our idea and research, enjoy:
Power Presentation:
Images Observation:
“We spent a lot of time in front of the computer and we only use our hands, which generates a lot health issues like carpal tunnel syndrome. Our idea with this is to create an interface that could help the interaction with the computer from another perspective. We could redesign the computer interface similar to piano pedals and some kind of mouse and switch that could replace many functions of the mouse.
Here, the action is clicking and typing on the keyboard mouse. The medium is the computer program and the changes will be the behavior of the computer. The goal of clicking and typing of the computer is to create, change, modify or delete information.
The physical parameters of this activity are limited to your hands and eyes. The person engaged will only use his hands and eyes, while his legs and arms basically do nothing. The posture almost doesn’t change, so this also generates problems in your back, neck, hips and some cases legs. While working on the computer your focus is mainly on the screen and keyboard. The activity is engaging because we have a constant overflow of information. The stress on your hands wrist and the fact you don’t move the body for a long time”
