I keep running across amazing projects coming out of the Interaction Graduate Department at SVA. This one caught my eye today students made a prototype of a device that would capture images and sound at a dinner table and store it creating a timeline of all the going’s on. Great concept and pretty killer implementation. I like the idea of making something digital that doesn’t feel disposable. I have a sort of manufactured nostalgia for the days when you bought one pair of shoes that you kept for 30 years and used your grandfather’s pen that was passed down to you by your Dad. It’s good to see that other people are thinking about how technology can be implemented to create something of lasting value, not just another laptop that is going to feel old and tired in a year or so.
