Hi! Last semester, my research topic was „Approaching Basic Senses Using Interaction: A Journey Into The Multi-Sensory Experience.“ I gathered extensive information on how and where multi-sensory design is used and its importance.
This semester, I want to continue exploring multi-sensory and experience design. I began with a brainstorming session using the card sorting method, writing down my wishes, inspirations, and questions.
What I want? How I want?
- A multi sensory protoype
- Immersive experience
- Futuristic but not realistic?
- Innovative idea
- I want to make people FEEL something
- Maybe spatial experience? Through various senses/materials
- Dive into human interaction with senses
- I wanna do something cool!!!! But how tho? 🙂
Real and Hard Questions
- Do I wanna fix a problem, have a goal?
- How can I use my skills, my knowledge in this project?
- What I wanna experiment with the tools I have?
- Do I wanna create an artistic experience?
- What I wanna learn in the end?
- What is my inso? Do I have any source that I wanna work on?
- Do I wanna improve or create, a product or service?
Reflection of Card Sorting
After this exercise, I realized I wanted to create something cool with an artistic approach. Seeing all my questions and concerns together was helpful, even though I didn’t land on a specific idea during the process.
I then placed potential ideas on post-it notes and asked ChatGPT for additional inspiration. Despite this, none of the ideas fully satisfied me, and the wide range of topics left me feeling lost.
Next step
The next step is to continue searching for ideas. I plan to discuss my project with Ms. Bachleri, hoping her feedback will help me find a clear direction.
