The Facolty of Architecture, has organized for our Design’s Course, the workshops of Interaction Design and I attended the one by Konrad Baumann, a professor in the Faculty Joanneum in Graz. My group (Ornella Giau, Francesco Fogu, Erica Floris, Maria Chiara Sotgiu, Nicola vargiu and me) examined the children, has deciding to create something for them. We did the interviews, create scenarios and evaluated the possible improvements regarding the problems encountered.
From the interview we have done to learn how children are interested a simple games that stimulate their senses. In our scenario we have created a family with an average standard of living, that their living in a small house on the outskirts of a big city, far from grandparents.
Then we created an interactive piece where the child can draw with a finger and erase with a touch, to keep its draw or choose to send it in real time to the grandmother who is far away. He can also chat or video to make the distance with her less problematic. This is the demonstration video of our project, feasible now, but thought for the future…
We made the interface through a careful study of the icons to make it simple to use, both for children and for those who want to interact with them.
These are the interfaces if you choose to paint, to chat, to video calls or to seek a number of contacts.
