Moving forward…

The review panel asked me to push the idea to more areas of exploration. This means thinking about how else can we give people an experience of slow time. They also suggested some more digital tests that would take less time. I think the ‘Ministry of Time’ is a nice umbrella under which to execute some of these experiments. I have two more ideas

This was inspired by Josh’s comment on wishing he had more time in the last 5 mins of meeting a deadline. This explores the span of 60 mins through different interpolations. How can we experience the rate of change of mins over one hour in a way that aligns with the context. I will try to prototype this as a web page so people can try this out on their laptops

This uses spatial feedback as a way of choosing our experience of time. The distance between the two units dictates the unit displayed. This will have to be prototyped physically using a distance sensor.
