Tats à Rotterdam

Here is the output of the activity we did at the workshop yesterday. We were first asked to write down on a paper the description of our project. Here is what I wrote:

The object has a sound input, a sound output and a sense of its energy level. It seeks, in turn, company and loneliness and tries to find how to get them with its sound sensing/emitting.

After that, we were asked to turn the paper upside-down to stop looking at it and then to go around and explain/listen to each others' project description. At the end of the activity, we were asked to write a new description, still without looking at the original description. Here is what I wrote (I highlighted the major changes and improvements):

An object that seeks, in turn, company (that is, proximity + reaction) or loneliness (that is, no reaction) through audio input and output. It can also remember sound fragments. It works with FSM (Finite State Machines). In the end it should be self-sufficient energy-wise.
