The interaction design in Blended Studio | Duration: 1 month
Have you ever had an experience waiting for a toilet? Do you think waiting is annoying?
Some people bring their phone to avoid boredom but that is unsanitary while some don't even have a phone. Potty party is an interaction design to keep people entertained in another way. It will allow adults and children to be company while waiting for their turn to use the loo.

Waiting for a toilet is annoying and boring.
Some people bring their phone to avoid boredom but it is unsanitary and the toilet is unsuitable for technology; while others don't even have a phone.
People are uncomfortable and impatient.
It creates crankiness and irritation while waiting on line.

It is time for a break! Everyone is getting out of the classroom.
Hector is leaving the classroom and rushing to the loo.
Hector: I have to go! I have to go!
However, there are already people waiting outside to use the bathroom.
Hector: OMG! There are so many people here!!
Hector is trying to wait on line patiently, but he really has to go!
Hector: When ... is ... my... turnnnnn?
The clock is ticking. Hector is losing his patience waiting in line.
Hector: I can... not hold... it ANYMORE!!!
Then he wet his pants!
Hector (crying).
Teacher: sigh~My God! Another kid wet the pants.
Then the teacher is trying to brain storm how to help the kids.
She imagines the kids having fun while they are waiting outside of the bathroom.
Once all the doors are closed...
The music announcement starts. Then the party begins! All of the kids are dancing and forget about waiting for the loo.
When the kid finishes on the loo and opens the door all of the music and animation will stop.
Hector: I finished!
Then everyone will be waiting on line again.

Learning & Challenges
Learning & Challenges
The biggest challenge for the this project is timing. We have very limit of time generating the idea, and don't have time to do research and interviewing. If I have chance, I would like to interviewing children, and ask them how they feel about this interaction idea? If I have a real project come out, I would like to test it and see user's experience on this project. would different game makes children hold it longer? would children still wet their pants because they had too much fun playing the game and forget about going to the bathroom? would children cutting the line while they wait for their term? it would be interested to see this project actually performed in front of the bathroom.
