Interactive Elements

Choose a site and review and write down the interactive elements. Think about how you would create an interactive device to be used in a room for launch of the site. Make a paper prototype.

Interactive puppet. The user can control the movements of a puppet of their choice, they can also record a voice for it. Really nice and simple interface, easy to use, good character animation, impressive 3D modelling.



To make this physically interactive we would have the puppet on a large screen. We would then attach sensors to each part of a persons body and then whenevr they moved the puppet on the screen would do the same.



This would be the image on a large screen in front of the user.



This would be the a person using the interactive game. The purple dots represent where the sensors would go on the person's body. In reality less sensors may be more appropriate just to cut the time it would take to get ready to play the game.

Two of the best games I have ever played on the internet...well in the past week. The jumping game is danerously addictive once you get the jumps right.
The racing game was quite hard to keep on track, although I did like the way it was made to look like google earth. The traffic lights are just as annoying as lights in real life.

To make this in a physical form it would be quite simple just to have a remote control car racing around a track. Although there is probably some alternative answer that will come to me.

Nice website, although after being on it I still have no idea what is going on.
