Reflection

This project was a bit different and challenging because, in addition to being ambient, these devices had to be identical and had to communicate gestures in a very subtle manner. So, the user space got restricted a bit because it could not be used for relationships such as human-pet as pets cannot communicate the same gestures using the device so easily. While brainstorming, we came across this idea that when people want to celebrate over distance, they usually call or video call and celebrate by congratulating visually or auditory but there is this gesture lacking there. That's how we came up with this idea of using this stirred up movement in snow globe to communicate the excitement of celebration. Doing this project reinforced our belief in the thought that technology is not as important as what can be done with technology.
