What attracted you to this piece of interactive art in the first place? (4%)
What attracted me the most is the uses of the sphere as the screen to place or used as a medium to perform the interactive art. It is really rare to see a spherical screen been used especially in the interactive ways that are also called the touch screen concept. When I saw this video, it reminds me of a fantasy-like concept. It uses the 'gypsy's crystal ball' that are mostly used in the fiction stories that act as a fortune-teller devise used by the gypsy or a witch. As I can say from the video itself, for the users to interact with the sphere is not complicated in another word everyone can easily experience the interaction of the sphere - using human touch senses - by touching the surface of the sphere and the sphere will immediately detect it a start to produce the effect. It will not create the frustrating mood due to it simplicity on using experiencing the art. Besides that, I am attracted to these artwork is just because the idea and work collaboration in making this Interactive Multi-touch Sphere itself - seeper and PufferFish. Seeper are one of the most famous and talented group or company that creates great major art while PufferFish are the expert in making spherical project that have 360 degree of display screen. The combination of these two groups creates this fascinating Interactive Multi-touch Spherical.
