In the contact class this week, we saw

 different physical interaction methods which bring the computer game and machine operation system in the real life.

 The most common method in today's video is using "Makey  Makey" tool. 

In the week eight contact class, Lorna was on the leave and

 David taught us. In the class, some videos that about people using some interesting physical interactions were shown to us. For example, the guitar pee that using pee stream to play the guitar.

1) Email

5 types of physical interactions 

Iris scanning: Login to an email account.

Deleting email: crumpled a paper

Swipe hands = Read next email

Voice control = Write email

Sending email: fold the paper to a plane and fly it

Elements/controls afford alternative interaction method: 

Login

Delete

Read

Write

Send

How would you map the interactions onto and/or into physical objects/actions?

Something like a VR system would work, or a wearable device on the wrist with motion tracking.

There is a video impress me a lot, which

 is a player build a real spring support to

 play the angry bird on the computer.

 so the physical interaction way allows the user to touch the real thing to control the game rather than

 touch the screen or any virtual thing. From another video, we can see that user can change the channel in the TV program when they put 

the different toy into a wood bowl.

We have a discussion related to the water

 pollution monitor equipment. When tester 

put an equipment into the water, there will be 

a colorful liquid wave shows up. Different color

 of waves represent the different level of water pollution. 

It is beautiful, but in our group, we hold the idea

 is this equipment only shows different color 

but not actually found a way to solve the water pollution.

There is another prototype named SKAL 

digital media player which very impresses

me. the user could put different toys into a box to change the channel.

How would you map the interactions onto and/or into physical objects/actions?

VR system with motion tracking and has hand gesture and voice recognition.

3)  Super Mario Bros

5 types of physical interactions

1. User jump on the ground = Jump
2. User steps move LEFT = Move forward
3. User steps on Right = Move backward
4. Hit button on the table = Shoot
5. X arm cross: Quit the game

Elements/control afford alternative interaction method:

1.   Jump 
2. Movement
3. Shooting
4. Quit

How would you map the interactions onto and/or into physical objects/actions?

Use the VR system or/and the Make make to the computer, and create pads with the conductible material.

We do some brainstorming excise

 which is about given some existing applications 

a physical interaction. in our group, we

 talking about how to using a physical interaction way

 to send an email.I came up an idea is 

using a wood box and 26 characters 

wood blocks. Putting
 "A" character wood blocks into the box, 

the character
 "A" will show up on the screen. 
When we play super Mario, 

we could use the similar way to control the super

. Mario run jump, go forward and go back.
