We divide into teams again and dig deeper about our character in this project. We are invader, intervener and mediator at the same time. Understanding our role in this project is really important. We also did the prototype again in a more realistic but still creative way. In our team(me and Joya), we made an interactive room and build in a cute character \u201cpuddle\u201d for water. In the interactive room, visitor will play with the plastic bottles and find a right way to treat them correctly. Base on the technology aspect, I feel like this is totally possible. But I think we might need to do more user test, and figure out how to design the interaction to make it more effective.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 3 was research\/prototyping week for us.
