Copy of Objects + Affordances

Starting with a cube, designing an interactive object that I think best communicates the following uses. The cube can (1) rub it (2) turn it (3) move it and (4) squeeze it.

I created a cube by using two important ideas, Tangram and texture. I am going to show my sketches and the physical cube below.

BEFORE I started my final sketch, I tried to combine some of my best ideas in my sketches. I experimented with some methods to make sure the final cube could work. Unfortunately, two of my methods were failed. And I improve my cube by changing my idea. I gave up to make the cube as a spring to show it could be squeezed. Then, I leave the front and back of all these fragments columns, so that I could achieve squeezing my cube.

AFFORDANCE

1)Using color to distinguish different blogs and let people willing to play with it.

2) The connection between Tangram and Square is the most important idea in this cube. Everything is based on this.

3) The interaction between Tangram and players when they play it could kind of achieve most of the requirement.
