Smart Speaker

Objective

This project deals with physical interactions with the smart speaker, which consists of twisting, pinching, and pressing. The goal is to have a visceral response similarly slamming an alarm clock to stop the noise. I wanted to emphasize the notion of having a physical need, compared to a virtual one on screens which are intangible and many times rather difficult to describe. Think about social media platforms: they only exist on flat screens and our need of interacting with others, of liking, swiping, or commenting only exists in our minds, and the only response is haptic feedback.
