Design Exercise 1: Make a Switch

Week 2:

- Short Description of Concept:

So the concept is to use the Nintendo controller board as a layout of many switches. The penny is used to complete the circuit. You can touch pretty much any metal area on the controller and make the LED turn on, basically making the switch itself an interactive experience.

- Storyboard for your interaction:

The story behind is, every manufactured product requires money and time to produce. Therefore money is an essential part of the creation and function of the product. Example: Nintendo requires money from the clients in order to create new and improved Nintendo systems.

Week 1:

I found it hard to find things around my house that could conduct electricity. I realized that most materials that  are created by manufacturers are non conductive. I found 3 items that i will be using for my switch project:

1- Broken open Nintendo controller with a Penny

2- Some Conductive Fabric

3- Aluminium Paper
