Adventures in Box Making (part two: Feedback)

The Second Prototype

Adventures in Box Making (part one)

Feedback: I’m just going to quickly jot down the feedback for this prototype.

• Not being able to see what you are sculpting as well as touching is a good idea. Requires more concentration on the tactile sense.
• The shapes I made were too easy to figure out.
• Perhaps one object is enough. Having to swap out objects could be time-consuming.
• A timer was suggested.
• The object wasn’t stable enough the way it was built.
• The gloves were problematic due to varying hand sizes and were also not easy to use.
• The holes in the touch box for the fingers were too big. Slender handed people could get their whole hand in. My tutor liked the narrower hole at the top of the box in terms of hand fit yet still prevented the hand from going in all the way.
• I felt that for this project, trying to figure out how I would have multiple swappable objects that were also hidden before and during the interaction was perhaps a problem too big to solve in the time that remained.
• Less hand holes for the touch box.
• I also considered a turntable for the touch box so it could be spun round easily to try out a different hand hole, and a turntable for both boxes so after experiencing the touch box the user could just turn the sculpting box round to where they were.
