Open Questions and Next Steps

  1. Feedback: one of the unnature behavior of the wind whistler was the feedback. I spent some time creating sensible dash and dots for the morse code; however, I realized that the overall feedback was too quick to recognize the correct answer. Feedback is essential in communication, so it should have been considered more to motivate the listener.
  2. Communication between whom: The initial attempt was communicating between the object and the human to shift the current relationships and the behaviors. I want to investigate further how the objects communicate with other things, including the humans in the community.
  3. Sound: Since the name is the whistler, people expected it to make a sound. I want to create some add-on device that could generate the sounds with the wind so that it becomes the real whistler.
  4. Proximity sensor: There was great feedback about using the proximity sensor to trigger the behaviors of the wind whistler. When people would like to listen better, they go closer to the sound source. On the other hand, it also creates the feeling of the listener's engagement with the speaking.
  5. Random number issue: Sometimes, the random number generates the desired number one after the others. It creates confusion about whether the fan is working weirdly, intentionally speaking, or malfunctioning. It got much better by increasing the possible random numbers. However, it takes a long time to hear the signals. I wonder whether there is a way to avoid the initial issue not by increasing the intervals.
