DSDN 112 Project 1 project proposal
I want to create an interactive object that creates a unique experience for taste. My initial idea was to experiment with how sight effects taste and how the colour of a drink can influence what we taste. But I also wanted it be an entertaining experience, not one as simple as trying to guess the flavour of a drink. I want to create a puzzle that can only be solved with taste. I will achieve this by setting up a number of flavoured drinks, all with altered colours. There will also be a puzzle piece corresponding to each drink. Once a person has tried a drink, they can place the corresponding puzzle piece on a section of a mat, on top of the image of the flavour they think the drink is (not the colour). Once the person has tried all of the drinks and if they got all the flavours right, the puzzle will be complete. I think using taste to solve something like a puzzle will be entertaining for the user. Eliminating sight from the problem with the use of different coloured drinks means that the user will have to rely on taste to interact with the object and to solve the puzzle. This will be an interesting experience for the user because taste is not usually associated with interaction or solving a problem.
