SO. PROBLEM.

• My boyfriend wants to watch an action film,
• I’m looking for more foreign a bit “indie”?!

PROBLEM PROGRESSES

• I have a group meeting at 3.
• He wants to run at 12. The movie starts at 2:15.

When will our schedules, our tastes, and the theater ever manage?! Can’t the theater run on OUR schedule! Can’t we all choose our own? This is so UN-tivo.

SOLUTION {title tentative for change} Lensible. Glasses/ lens’ that are sensible to your needs.

Lensibles still provide you with a theater experience. But it gives a more personalized approach.

Here’s how it works:

1. Place shades on. The shades read the programmed pixels for the movie you programmed to watch.
2. Watch desired movie onto a screen. Start and stop as desired. Volume capatible.
3. Friend/friends sitting next to you have the option of either watching with you or watching an entirely different movie.

AND
4. Oh wait, you don’t look ugly. The glasses are designed by designers such as Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, etc. to give more of an aesthetic appeal to the wearable. Think successful product design (i.e. Apple).

Problem solved.

Design inspiration: As always, space-age fashion trends.

Guidelines: from the article, Designing for Wearability by a bunch of people such as: Francine Gemperle, Chris Kasabach, John Stivoric, Malcolm Bauer, Richard Martin.

1. Placement (where would it go)
2. form language (defining the shape)
3. Human movement (consider the dynamic structure)
4. Proxemics (human perception of space)
5. Sizing (for body size diversity)
6. Attachment (fixing forms to body)
7.Containment (considering what’s inside the form)
8. Weight (as it spread across the human body)
9. Accessibility (physical access to the forms)
10. Sensory Interaction (for passive or active input)
11. Thermal (issues of heat next to the body)
12. Aesthetics (perceptual appropriateness)
13. Long term use (effect on the body and mind)

HOT.HOT.HOT.HOT.

Precedence: (to remind us how FUgly these things can get.)

iTheater: this product allows you to watch tv while on the go. You can play games, watch tv while on the plane, etc. Problem is this does not feel organic to the fashion accessories of mainstream and high-end rules.

iTheater: flaw: you look like an idiot.

iPod video goggles: flaw: too small and you squint and squeeze like crazy for your eyes to even visibly comprehend what’s going on.

Tagged in Motion: no flaw, it’s brilliant! how glasses can individualize vision:

Possible questions/hurdles:

• What about the theater experience?! Does it wither away?
• Will they be cost-efficient?
• Mechanics? — LEDs? pixel readings?
• Issues of space and time? (much like installations, Happenings, other ’stage performers’
• Quality of sound?
