Historical Case

What we Know: The precedent we choose is designed by Duncan Kerr, Heather Martin and Mat Hunte for people separated by physical distance. The only one resource for us to learn about this device is the essay: Buchenau, Marion, and Jane Fulton Suri. "Experience prototyping." Proceedings of the 3rd conference on Designing interactive systems: processes, practices, methods, and techniques. 2000. It shows that the device allowed users to blow into it to send a kiss signal represented by light patterns to their partner's device and create your "message" in the form of an animated light sequence as the device responds to your breath. The "message" shows while you blow and if you are happy with it, you simply relax your grip, and it is sent to the corresponding Communicator.

What don't we know about this precedent: Wireless Connectivity: How many people can be wirelessly connected to each other using this Kiss Communicator? (Reference: The Kiss device and app, which allow users to send different colors to various receivers to convey their mood.) Internal Mechanism: How do the neo pixels respond to the messages received from the blow sensor? Button Functionality: How does the button work? Do users need to press it before blowing into the device?
