Ema's basic senario

Based on Ema (ver1.0: Ema for the first Fing presentation.),
I am re-thinking about basic scenario of Ema.

Whatever interfacewe are going to choose, I think we have to
think about these 3 results in one senario. Because, with Ema
(ver1.0) people needs to make the 2 stages of choice.


Choice 1.Ema (ON/OFF)
-This is the switch for the choice, whether the user wants to hear
the music from others.


Choice 2.The status of each music in users play list
(Public mode/Private mode)
-With this switch, for each music, user can choose whether they
accept to share the music or not.
(※Because sometimes, people might have very personal sounds
on their play list or something embarrasing to let others hear.
For example, I have a stupid music file which my friends made
for my birthday...)

Considering these 2 stages of choice, when two people pass by,
there is 3 possibility. (Red is A's music/Blue is B's music)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Result 1.
When two people are passing by, one can hear the other's music
(but the other doesn't). So they hear the same music at the same time.



Result 2.
When two people are passing by, they swap their music.



Result 3.
When two people are passing by, nothing happens(for Ema ver1.0).



Each condition
3*-As for this situation(condition), the users do not hesitate to
share their song, but each of them does not listen to others.
So for this situation, we might be able to use idea of "Toy story"/
"wind effect"[link]

004. Design of serendipity2 [Ema * second life]

As one of the bonus/alternative functions of Ema, "Ema in second life".
A user in real life could notice the moment when he pass by someone's abater
in second life. He can not see him but he can hear some nice special sound
(sound effect), such as the sound of a bell (like a cat) or the sound of steps.

As well as the user in phisical world, the user who controle abater in second life,
he can hear the same sounds as him at the same time.

003. Design of serendipity

Sometimes, as one of the bonus/alternative functions of Ema,
the wind in the area conveys the music of one user.
Without his noticing, the wind conveys the sounds/music for
another person who is in the same city with wind itself.
(but only one person can hear the music)

bound of Ema

001. boundary

At the last presentation, we did not mention about the boundary of ema that much.

The boundary of Ema can be changed, depending on the environment,
the space +the people arround(as two of you discuss before)
The boundary of ema can be dynamic rather than statistic such as water.
(The picture is not good, it is not really tell the concet of Ema, sharing)

Inspiration of boundary:

002. i-tune/body-tune

One day before our presentation, Simon and I discussed about tuning system
with the professers.
At that time, J.L. advised us that it should be fun if user can change the bound of
Ema(how much distance he can hear) with the devise.

For example, in the metro -0, at street-1, at a park-3...

By some possibility, the windows (on the exterior wall)
might be the frames of pieces of art, the art of human life (activity).

What if we can hear the sound under us or above us.
