Project 3: Five Ideas
2010/03/16
1. Restaurant Idea: As you walk in you will sit down with your friends or date, and will eat appetizers with your desired guest. Then when you finish your appetizer you both will be moved per conveyor belts to a different table with different people and a different sort of food. This will encourage you to try new things with new people, which is always a conversation starter.
2. Ticket Stubs in Stores: Forces people to come to one location when they are done shopping. Allows people to talk about what they are getting and talk about different items. Possible to make it electronic with a scanner or something.
3. Removing Stalls from bathrooms: the stalls will be placed in a circle – this will break the social boundary that we have set within bathrooms and force social interaction or if nothing else group awkwardness.
4. Transparent Screens: allows you to see what people are looking at along with the ability to see their reaction to different things. In addition you can move your screen to their window or copy what they are looking at on your screen. Encourages social interaction as you cant hide what you are looking at, and also encourages pranks.
5. Movie Theater Competitions: The questions on the screen before movies become a competition between people at the movie theater. Prizes are awarded for the people that do the best. Allows for more opportunities for advertisements along with encouraging social interaction rather than sitting talking to only the people you came with
