Practicality?
August 16, 2007I was just thinking about how this application would be useful in everyday life.
Luckily for me, Rob forced us to do this in class today, so now I feel that my idea is half practical.
So, if someone is having a bad day, the sensor in their wristband would be able to detect that and send it to their iPhone. The iPhone could then send the info to the people that subscribe to the feed, the same way that RSS works. A friend on the other side of town would then know how they are feeling without having to talk to them to start with, and be able to call them to see if they are alright, or know to be nice to them when they next meet.
Sound reasonable?
So now I have to work on:
-How can you control who sees this information
-Implementing it into your social/study calendar
-How to ‘tone down’ the information so that it doesn’t alarm other users
-How to implement it into an interface thats practical for the iPhone
Thats a cool idea but it doesn’t sound workable (at least at this stage). Would it work like a lie detector; sensing heartbeat, perspiration, etc. Because those aren’t 100% infalible (I actually know a guy who can cheat them)and lie detectors are only advanced enough to work with yes and no questions.
It doesn’t have to be entirely functional, thats not the goal of this unit of study.
Its the process of coming up with an idea…
Ohhh. The idea is rad though. It could work really well on mental patients.
Okay, First of all. I so did not know that the idea just had to be an idea and not 100% workable!!
If I knew that the amount of crap I could have come up with would be endless!
Anyways, enough about me. I think ur idea is definately workable, but I think that you should definately be able to control who sees it. Like you can have like a “friend” list of ppl that are allowed to see it and block everyone else on it. You should also be able to stop it from showing ur emotions, like if youre really pissed off and dont want people ringing you and asking why.
Yea other than that I got nothing to add really.
Read my blog?? haha
That’s a nifty idea!!!!
i think it’d be great because it’d cut down the arguements between people when they don’t know what’s wrong with them!!!!!
it could also help people with emotional problems or people who can’t explain/show their feelings as well as others
hope that made sence!!
Haha you know what my fave bit of your presentation was today?
When Venessa asked “You know how we’re both girls?” LoL. It sounded funny! She made sense in the end though haha.
And I sooo could not look at you without laughing, my deepest appoligies.
Oh, and old people … they dont do 3D modelling.
