Interaction

Our first studio for coding since the break, we have been given our next project which involves creating what is called an interactive mouse toy using processing.

An interaction is any action that occurs between two things. eg a person saying hello to another person. Sometimes interactions result in a reaction such as the second person responding.

I thought back to an interactive flash application I played with many years ago and thought was quite amusing:     Singing Horses  



The horses each sing a different tune when you click on them. You can choose to play them one at a time or overlap each horse and its sound, creating an eccentric sounding choir.

Before Friday I must draw 3 short storyboard/timelines that each tell of a different interaction. These can be as simple or complex as I like.

For these interactions I must ask the following:
    What does the user learn?
    How long does it take for the user to learn it?
    Does it still remain interesting when the user has learnt it?
