Brief: Design an experience that explores the nature of consciousness
Partner: Tracy & Yitong & Lili & Zain
On the topic of consciousness, our group thinks it is divided into two aspects, one is the feeling brought by the external environment, and the other is the thoughts and feelings generated by ourselves, for example, you feel hungry.
The first thing that comes to mind is yoga. The first step in yoga is meditation. Then we think about Taoism in China. Mount Wudang is the birthplace of Taoism in China. The Taoists will practice martial arts on the cliff at the top of the mountain. They are not afraid of the abyss under the cliff, because in their hearts, there is open space ahead. Only in this way can their state of mind be calm.
Through inspiration, we think of a traditional Chinese thing is the old calendar. This is a kind of horoscope calendar. For example. We look at the horoscope and say, "what color should I wear this week?" or "don't go to a party after 11 o 'clock." On this calendar, there are 365 days of the year marked with what is a good day to move, what is not a good day to get married, and so on. In this way, we come to think of this metaphysical manipulation of human consciousness. People are influenced by this content.
storytelling
Then each of our group interviewed three people around them. The question of the interview is whether there are any items or times that will give you a psychological hint to affect your next behavior? In the end, we sorted out the 5 most representative stories：
-
Sanjana
-
Chujia

Jason

We find common ground in everyone's stories. When we can't find an answer or a direction from the real world, we turn to god for help. This is actually a sense of conscious trust. Then we thought about how in China, whenever something important happened, people would come to the temple to ask for an answer, hoping that the god could help them point out the way. To pray this thing is that people desire through the process of consciousness of communication with god.
In India, if wearing shorts or clothes show skin, she can feel that man is looking at her, so she will change her clothes to cover her skin.
If wearing normal, she wouldn’t feel like that.
Chujia worked with her teacher. She felt that the tutor spent less time teaching her works than other students, so she felt that the tutor did not like her. So she began to dread the teacher's class.
His mother told him not to change the clothes since he has an important test tomorrow. And he felt more confident. This behavior must bring him some luck.
her friend told there is a fortune teller can tell you what happens in the future.i can have a try. she asked the fortune teller about my love horoscope.she said she will never have a good result, so she gave up.
she said to save my luck until the scores come out. she keeps learning even she already finished my tests.
Artefact
Having identified the theme, we decided to look for circumstances in which the Lottery poetry would take place. Finally, we found it in a milk tea shop. After buying milk tea at the shop, customers can draw a ticket from a nearby ballot box. Then according to the number on the signature to find the corresponding drawer, open the drawer will have the corresponding signature paper. The signature paper is divided into an upper signature, upper signature, middle signature, and under the signature.
We made a model of the canister so that you can experience it next Monday.

The teacher told us not to use cartoon characters instead of real photos
seminar
This seminar is about mobile phones. This article gives me a clearer picture of some of the changes that mobile phones have made in my life. The cell phone has become an indispensable thing in my life. I need my phone almost everywhere I go except to sleep. Still, there are a few details I've missed. The use of mobile phones has changed a lot of people's behaviors. For example, we used to use paper maps, but now almost everyone will use Google Maps. People used to look at the time by the watch, but now the function of the watch is more like an ornament.
Then the phone needs to depend on what physical items can work, such as the chip wi-fi plug electricity password network. Just as people need air to stay alive, phones need wi-fi to function.
In class, we drew the appearance of each person's mobile phone and marked the differences in the appearance of the mobile phone. Because smartphones are changing so quickly, all the changes are based on the basic features of the original phones.
What it means for Ux. Because Windows phone does not have the support of these apps, it is eliminated. Android and apple keep developing because they keep improving the user experience.
