Make the interaction cycle longer
One suggested improvement is to make the interaction cycle longer
by asking the participants to do more tasks so that more participants
will experiment. For example, after all items have been placed
on the pads, the machine could ask the participants to remove
it one by one and then ask them to pass the items one by one
again. This gives more chance for the participants to find
out that the machine is unintelligent because they may try
to put the items on the wrong pads.
Reposition the streaming video on the screen
All the participants did not really notice the streaming video
on the upper left corner of the TV screen because they are concentrating
on the instruction text in the middle of the screen. It is suggested
that in Director Xtra should be used so that the streaming video
image could be place in the middle of the screen with the instruction
text placed underneath the streaming video.
Further Research
It is suggested that if the research were to be run again in
the future, a control installation could be set up to see the
affect of certain aspects of the installation. For example, ‘Alice’s
Tea Party’ made the participants think of grandmothers.
So to study how this can affect people’s behaviour, another
installation could be set up with less floral and elaborate design
- by using a plain tea set and tablecloth. |
