MAKING CONNECTIONS
Exploring Interactions Cycle 2 Iterate Kah Kih Yau

Context
Functional Comfort (physical)
Shelter Getting fast on the bus (for a seat) Knowing the bus arrival

Interaction (psychological)
Distraction Unity in interacting to avoid interaction

Boring

Appear normal

Trying to be comfortable

Hooker

I want the commuters to have an enlightened experience where they get focus and are put in a situation which is comfortable and not a punishment it is almost as if it is a reward.

Interaction Vision
It needs to be a silent interaction. Something that is not disturbing and gives a feeling that is soothing and calm. Sitting in a rocking chair relaxed and yet focused on automatically rocking the chair.
