Based on the comments during class last wednesday, we decided to change a little bit our way to approach the problem of the elevator.
First, we were really concern in finding a problem in our everyday life and try to solve it. We liked the idea that came out in the class about trying to think about doing something for the time we spend waiting for the elevator and one of the first ideas that came to my mind was people doing something useful ( creating energy, for example) during that short period of time. But sometimes when we are waiting for something to came, in this case, the elevator in the school, maybe doing something that is entertaining people could be solution.
We started thinking about waiting spaces and what we could do to turn that experience in something more enjoyable. We though about waiting in the subway, waiting in a cue in the supermarket or in a concert and waiting as an unpleasant experience.
Based in this arguments, we decided to place waiting as an unpleasant experience as the problem to solve and create an interactive system/ installation for the waiting area near the elevator on the ITP floor that allows people to play with images using the feet as an interface, while waiting for the elevator.
