Description


Tricky Putt is an interactive object which engages with the tactile sense, touch. In making an object which engages with touch as the primary sense I wanted to create a fun and interesting interactive way to see how people judge textures by the way they look and feel.

My object is based on the same idea as mini putt, or golf. But instead of having a level surface like golf I thought adding various textures would make it more of a challenge as our perception of how the ball would travel changes when we are given different surfaces.

The 3 surfaces consist of fine chip stone, corrugated card and a fine wire mesh. The idea is to make the user understand and judge the surface through touch and then to make an estimated guess on how far the ball will roll when rolled down a ramp. The green zone is when the user has succeeded.
