I had a really good conversation with Sean | September 31, 2001
So I had a really great conversation and came out of it all rosy-cheeked and excited,
not to mention overly caffeinated.
Some ideas
Henry Jenkins on geeks and their favorite stories (MIT)
Ursula Heise on science fiction (Columbia)
MediaLab's affective computing group and galvanic skin response sensors
visions of the future from Apple and Sun in the 1980s
Some more ideas
Why not try to do something really cheap and simple that could be relatively mass-produced
(say, enough for people at a gallery opening) and distributed to among them to
facilitate communication in a real-time, real-life way? Gloves? Rings? How do mood rings
work? How would you give them out? How would you make sure they were returned? Do I care
if they're returned? What would be interesting to know about the person whose hand you're
shaking (cf Auranet and Jay Schneider's ideas about
wearable computing)?
