For our mouse hack project, we wanted to create a space that relaxed the user. We thought the best way to do this was create a 'spa theme', with lit candles and a massaging pillow. Once the user sat down on the chair, they would experience watching a video of a waterfall with its calming sound in the background. Once the user was relaxed, they would then lie on the pillow to find a projection of traffic and a chaos of sound. Inside the pillow we had our mouse - which was attached to wires that were taped inside two sponges that were laid on top of each other. Once the sponged were pressed - this caused the wires to touch and 'presses the button' which changes the screen from calm to chaos.
The idea of being relaxed in our lives, is sometimes unapparent as even though we can be in a very relaxed setting, there is still some stress in the back of our heads that will always be there.
If we had a huge budget, firstly, we would definitely change the chair the user sat in. A big, comfortable massage chair that would vibrate and massage the user would be ideal. Second, when the user put their head on the pillow, the sound in the background would not change, which was a problem with the code. All of us tried hard to fix the problem, and when it did work, it would ruin the video. Third, a high definition video of both the waterfall and the traffic would also be ideal as it could allow the user to immerse in the space.
