Alice's Tea Party - Design


Alice's Tea Party Floor Plan


‘Alice’s Tea Party’ is set up in a relatively small space. The interaction scenario of the installation is as follows:

  • Participant enters the space and sees text on the TV, which asked him or her to have a sit.
  • Once seated, the participant can see a streaming video image of the participant, the TV, the tea set on the table and the chairs on the upper left corner of the TV screen. The streaming video image is displayed throughout the interaction.
  • Then the TV will then display text asking the participant to pass the teapot.
  • When the participant put the teapot on the either one of the pads, TV will show an image of teapot as a response.
  • Then TV will then prompt the user using text to pass all other items, the cup first, then the milk jug and lastly the sugar bowl and the TV will respond accordingly.
  • When all items are put on the corresponding pad, the TV thanks the participant and asked him/her to take all items off the pad before s/he leave.
  • If the participant leaves his/her chair without taking all the items off the pad, TV will give out a warning sound and a message asking the participant to obey.
  • The machine can’t distinguish which items are put on the pads; it just gives respond according to the question asked when it detects pressure on the pad.
