Mobile Plassages
Mobile Plassages was last year's final project by Junu Joseph Yang as an interaction design student at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea/Domus in Milan.
Mobile Plassages started from some ideas about how people can ‘stay in touch’ through play and hypothesizes and explores how digital communication mediums can be exploited into, rules for playfully staying in touch, in context of our everyday mobile landscapes.
What it is: A series of three mobile play limbs were developed to exemplify the potentials of this play platform:
Voice Collector is an auditory vessel that feeds on the EM fields around us to offer communication.
View Finder is a visual messaging lens that allows one to animate and discover hidden images from the environment.
Trail Messenger is a virtual dot-dropper that lets people expressively perform and discover messages by walking around and ‘connecting the dots.’
