Research Step 1:
Dangers:
The unknown, the sun, cars in the street, financial difficulties, solitude
Extend Capabilities:
Provide directions, faster movement, provide quiet in loud areas, entertain self while in lines, see farther.
Choose one of the ten items above:
Provide directions.
Why did you choose that topic?
As a person who will soon be graduating, questions always abound about where I’ll be going next, so a device to provide directions fits metaphorically. Additionally, I’m bad at remembering physical directions, so it also works literally.
Give some information on the project’s purpose:
This project is meant to depict a device meant to help guide its wearer forward, showing them where they are, where they want to go, and how to get there. These directions might not be the best path, potentially being overly simplistic, and also do not necessarily need to correspond to the path the wearer actually takes, but they are a path that could be trod.
List out tangible people/places/things that are associated with the project:
Flashlight, globe, map, speedometer, road sign, advisor, GPS, spotlight, tour guide, dead end
Find images of each the items listed above:
