This week in studio we were introduced to the amazing design skills of Gavin Sade. He demonstrated some of his interactive designs, in the form of art, that effectively involve the viewer with real-time interaction. My favourite of his works was the Lyre bird sculpture, e. Menura Superba. This highly technological bird sculpture is able to sense what colours the viewer is wearing and then mimic this in its own physical form. What better way to involve the audience than to personalise the work just to suit them!? Amazing!

Reflection:
I am truly fascinated by this art based form of interaction design. It appears to me as it also evokes an emotional response from the audience due to the personalised nature of the work. By incorporating a colour into the work, that the audience obviously already likes, the artist has provoked the viewer to immediate come interested in the work. This association creates a positive response to the object. In terms of the Haptic Ball, I hope this concept is also become apparent based on the idea that by looking/playing with the ball the user will associate it with positive experience or relationship, thus enhancing the user relationship to an emotional level, rather than just providing a ludic experience.
