This project consisted in the development of an interactive object to raise awareness of a problem of our choice. We decided to talk about the multitasking of entertainment. This problem consists in the use of multiple screens at the same time, wich can cause concentration
problems and addiction. Although most of us have this problem, many don’t recognize it. Therefore, the goal of this project was to simulate this behavior and all the low quality entertainment available that we consume. The user starts in a video-sharing website and as he continues, he can interact with the website, opening messages, reading news or even answering quizzes. This simulation plays with the user’s control, allowing him to make choices but also taking him control sometimes, testing the user’s patience and concentration. This website was developed by us using CSS and HTML for the appearece of the website and jQuery for the interactions and events.
This project was developed in the Project 4 subject at the University de Coimbra, Design and Multimedia degree, in collaboration with Marisa Espinheira and Rita Nóbrega.
Tutti-frutti
