Instead of leaving a message on an answering machine through the medium of sound, shouldn't we be able to utilise the other senses to bring a more positive and fun experience to a normal socially interactive task?
A simple, multiple faced sphere shaped object, with a series of motors and accelerometers, can act both as the "interactive action" as well as the "interactive reaction" through a connection to a partnered device. By interacting with the device, one can select a certain face of the object which corresponds with a certain friend/partners device. The device will then react in a visual, physical and auditory medium to tell the corresponding friend/partner.
The idea behind it is to step away from the traditional method of social interaction of "leaving a message" without being specific as to what that message is meant to say. Make it a game out of it, make a fun experience out this traditionally normal socially interactive task.
The next step for this particular concept is to figure out what kind of medium this object or device should project a message through. Whether it be visual, physical, auditory or a combination of any of these. And then what kind of action reply is the user/receiver of the message supposed to do?
