This blog is dedicated to Jesse and Maya's Monday morning section of Introduction to Experience Design at the Ontario College of Art and Design, Winter 2009.
Toy 1 - it is not clear of what the toy is, to be honest it looks just like a sand bucket, and it does not explain it self. I can just notice the string? coming off the side, but what does it do? And then I don't understand how it goes from the one form to a spring form. The spring form explains it self a little, where it would be fun if bored, and just watch it "wobble" around. But the string and sphere is still unclear.
Toy 2 - Ahahahaha, I love this one. It would be great to cure boredom. It would be fun because it is more of a game, so frustration is involved, which is not always a bad thing, meaning someone can get right into it. It would apply to many people. Our age group and even younger people would like it. The only thing is, the string would be annoying once getting back to writing with the pencil.
Toy 3 - Sorry, again I can not read the explanation. I'm guessing it is an attachment to an electronic. But I'm not sure how the colored pieces can be a toy when involved with an electronic. Should be explained more. But if the explanation is better it would be more for our age group, but since the younger generation now has many electronics, it could apply to them as well.
Toy 4 - The one picture is not clear, but the other (side view) is clear and without words said. It would not be fun though, since it is one continuous motion that is made. It would be for younger people. If you added more options to the toy, and maybe lights? when the ball passes it would flicker, it would be more appropriate for the older age group.
Toy 5 - This concept, I like. Water ballon fights are fun, and especially if throwing different forms of cartoons, but I don't know about you, but I haven't had a water ballon fight in 10 years. So again it would be for the younger age group.
The best concept you have, is the pencil. And if you decide to go with that one, work on the string so it doesn't get in the way when writing with the tool.
Experience design is the practice of designing products, processes, services, events, and environments - each of which is a human experience – with the specific focus of the design activity being the quality of the user experience. In turn, the quality of any experience is a combination of factors which include individual or group needs, desires, beliefs, knowledge, skills, experiences, and perceptions. Experience design combines technological innovation with social innovation, psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, architecture and environmental design, information design, ethnography, brand management, interaction design, service design, storytelling and heuristics.
