Task 7: mode-bending

 

 

I created an audio tour of my work bag. I tried to add sounds and ambiance to make the experience feel more immersive. When I was creating this different mode of information sharing, I was trying to think of how to create an experience for the listener that made them feel as if they were going through the bag with me, by adding sounds and ambient music in the background, as if we were sitting in a room together. I think that if I were to shift modes even further, I would create a purely sound point of view, or, if I had the resources, a meta-glasses-style POV video of the daily tasks, my bag, and its contents, performed! By shifting further from the original video mode, I create a much different experience and delivery of information for the consumer. It would shift the role of the consumer from viewer to doer with a POV video and a lack of explanation, but increased use of observation and experience to show how the tools in the bag are used in day-to-day life.
