Sure there are many ideas floating around my head that could be good, or fun, or pointless but the few that have triggered a ‘yeah that’s the one’ have actually already been done. Examples are a random status generator for Facebook, and an RSS reader for Facebook. After some research I found that there are actually a few of each so disapointment ensued.

Concern is the overwhelming feeling that resides with me currently, uncertain that an idea will materialise that will be my own and not just a re-hash of an existing idea or worse, someone elses idea.

Mood Furniture – like mood rings but furniture that changes colour depending on your mood.

Reactive Seating – using something like thermo-chromic ink or tracking and LED displays, the seat changes colour where you have been sitting on it as a gradient. The more you stay in one place the more the colour changes showing just how you have been sitting. Ideal for a club / bar / social environment.

Musical Typing – a communal project using keystrokes provided by volenteers which is then converted into note and played back. The keys are recorded and the user then submits the information to hear it played back. It is not a real-time keyboard.

I would really like to look into multi-user experiences and social collaboration. Using multiple user’s to create something larger than the sum of it’s parts. Each user adds something which is incorporated into a larger idea. I am trying to think about cumulative art or music as a starting point, each user adding to the ‘canvas’ or ‘score’ in some way and then hearing / seeing the complete result.

This is something I will be updating with more ideas when they come to me. Got to keep the ideas flowing.
