What’s your favorite thing you’ve made?
I’m interested in integrating digital information into the design of common daily object in order to support education and others. One of my favorite projects is water music, an installation that turns water into music playing interface. My design intention is to allow people to create melodies by simply playing with water.
What’s the most frustrating object you’ve used?
All kinds of awful package design. For example, today it took me 5 minutes to figure out how to insert the straw into a juice bag.
What do you personally hope to get out of this class?
Through attending the lectures and hands-on workshops in this class, I want to get a better understanding of Tangible Interfaces and utilize these knowledge to create meaningful products or installations.
How can you contribute to the class?
I’m willing to devote my passion and ideas into group projects. I also have knowledge and skills in programming and industrial design.
