WEEK 10 | Progress

During the semester break, I spent some time to design my physical prototype with Makey Makey. Since I do not have a lot of time to develop the Unity part, I decided to go with what I previously code and create the interface control with cardboards and foil. I just used the materials I could found at home and a lot of cutting.

I think coming up the idea of a physical prototype required most of my time, much more than the actual making time. How users suppose to interact with the prototype and motivate users to use the device. Instead of just having the buttons, I think it would be better if the users could interact by hand gestures or other movement. It can be improved by adding more physical elements or creative features that users can engage with. 

Makey Makey is a really interesting and easy tool to use. It is really direct in using and operating. The only problem is to attach the wire to conductors and make them stay in places. Sometimes, the wire did not sense quick enough or could not sense, which make the prototype less convenient to operate.
