Inspiring Interaction- Katie Docherty

When I first saw this design I thought it was a fun and interesting way to enhance the learning experience.

Trustworthy- Although it is hard to tell without experiencing it for myself, the design seems to be very safe. There is a sense of assurance that the facts it gives you are correct.

Appropriate- This design is very fitting for our time and culture. The way we get information is rapidly changing. It is designed for a culture that is individually driven. While more than one person can interact with it at a time each persom may have a different experience.

Smart- This design seems very smart. Numbers move a twirl to keep waiting times feeling short. Also you need nothing more than a finger to opperate it.

Responsive- The numbers begin moving as soon as you touch them so that you know it is working.

Clever- Designed to be a fun way to interact with historical information, it could be used as an exciting way to teach people new things,

Ludic- The design looks very playful, the numbers act like bumper cars at times, crashing off one another and spinning around.

Pleasurable- The design is aesthetically pleasing, it is interesting to look at and it creates curiosity.

I would like to participate in this design in a visionary or brainstorming way.
