Mid-Way Progress Check

Human Interaction Steps - mechanisms

  1. Guest take mortar from museum shelf -
  2. Walk into space - light turns on
  3. Pick tea leaves - scents of tea leaves
  4. Put in mortar
  5. Mix in mortar - sound of whisking
  6. Sit down on the floor (force sensitive) - trigger water to start boiling on electronic hob
  7. Place clean cups in position (again force sensitive resistor?)
  8. Pour hot water through filter tray - tray move towards guests for empty water
  9. Empty water - message revealed in cup - ask guests to put tea leaves in cups
  10. Pour water again - tray move towards guests to present tea
  11. Guest take tea cup and stand up to move towards exit - tray return to position
  12. Guest return mortar to museum shelf

focus on the mechanism 3 step builds:

  1. the tray moving towards or away from the guests (sliding motion with wheels)
  2. the kettle tipping x 2 (need to happen twice within one interaction session, liner actuators)
  3. shurb? for distributing water -  heat resistant glass tube or stainless steel

*cushion with sensor for on trigger

environment: 

  1. script: narrative voice as 'host' to replace text and instructions, human voice or computer generated
  2. brick wall
  3. dripping ceiling and pump for water recycling
  4. lighting
  5. museum shelf
