Sniff

Sniff has been taken under the wings of research project Touch. The development that led to the prototype that was exhibited at DogA was also a result of cooperation with Einar Martinusen and Timo Arnall, but now this collaboration is formalized. I’m going to work mostly with presentation material (sketches, photos, video, website), but also some prototype development is needed. After trying to photograph Erle and Oskar with the ‘nice looking because it’s without a cord’ model of Sniff I have learned that non-working prototypes just don’t do it when you are dealing with children. Surely they can do as you tell them and hold him like he’s supposed to be used, but without the feedback the blank expression in their faces becomes very clear, even on photos. What was so nice when photo shooting with the prototype when it was working was that you could see that they were listening and experiencing.
