My 200 word proposal:
Model for project 1
My model explores the touch senses and the sensitivity of
our touch senses through the differences in temperature. The model is made of
two plastic tubes/straws, which are moulded with a thin wire to fit around the
back of the neck and ears, which are two very sensitive areas in the body. One
straw will be connected to a cup of hot water and the other to a cup of cold
water, and the idea is that the user will not only experience a contrasting
feeling from the two temperatures, but will also be confused as to which straw
contains hot water or cold water by the time the water reaches the back of the
neck and ears. The mechanics are simple and the user will have to suck on both
straws at the same time, or else I can design a mouth piece that connects both
straws together.
I aim to make the user experience a new way of looking at
our touch senses by gathering how strong or sensitive the human touch senses
can be. This is why I decided to allow the user to feel the difference in two
different temperatures; so that when they are asked “Which straw contains hot
water?” It becomes a test to see if our
touch senses are able to differentiate between two temperatures.
