Proposal

I am going to design and create an interactive object that users will gain and experience from through the use and manipulation of the sense "sight". I plan to create an object in the shape of a cube, with eye-holes on each of the six faces, inviting the user to look inside. Contained in the cube will be an object that I have created. This object will be completely random (I may construct it myself) and eye-catching, not distinctively recognisable to the user. However, each eye-hole will be effected in someway, that allows the viewer to see the object inside in different ways, each different from each other. Giving the user an experience through their sight, and manipulating and distorting the way they view the object inside. Effects that I may imply on the eye-holes include; looking through water, down a tube, through coloured cellophane, through mirrors, through patterns and through a magnification lense. Each of these techniques will effect the way the object inside is seen to the user. The user interacts with the object by rotating it and peering through the viewing holes, engaging in an experience through their sight.

Initial Idea Generation

Above is brainstorming/notes on my initial ideas for my object. These are only basic at this stage but after presenting my ideas to the studio group I think I will work with manipulating and interacting with an object through sight. 

Morphologic Box

Above is my morphologic box, filled out with interactions and the senses that correspond to them. From this I began to generate ideas on what my interactive object could be and what senses I could effect through experiences with my object.
