Idea for the Project[edit]

create an exhibit that lets multiple people get into a discussion about a potentially difficult social question.

concept[edit]

  • there are cards with questions (paper/wood) and answer options (e.g. color-coded; do you like ice cream? yes=green, no=blue; red=have to ask my mother)
  • a card can be picked and put on the "device" - task 1: detect the card (e.g. two pin connector and resistor; multiple pins and binary encoding; RFID reader)
  • each person on the device (min 2) gets to answer the questions with a tangible control (e.g. potentiometer, switches, dip-switch, multiple times pressing a button, putting in contact, ...)
  • for the detected card the controls match the question (e.g. 3 options -> poti has 3 states, LEDs as output to match the answers for the questions)
  • once everyone has voted there is the process of sharing the votes with the other (uncovering at once, asking questions and lowering a shield, ...)
