User Scenario/Implementation

The way this project is meant to be viewed and displayed is a simple kiosk with two main elements: the steamer trunk on the floor, a mat in front, and a map on the wall behind it. The map will have LEDs showing where other, similar, steamer trunks have been placed around the world. So, as one takes a picture of their object and sends it, his/her location will lite up indicating where the image displayed on the screen came from. This is a key part of the project as it is quite essential to note the socio-cultural implementations of what each person carries on them at any given moment, as well as what they deem as important to transmit. The mat on the other hand is also crucial as it invites the user to kneel in front of this box as they place their object, giving the feel of a box of wonders. Ideally the box should be opened with two hands further accenting this experience. The box will be constructed in way of a steamer trunk to give the feel of something old. The box will have two main visible features, a screen on top and a button for the users to press when they have placed thier object inside. As the button is pressed a flash of light will be triggered simulating a flash. This flash will be visible only on the box currently in use to confirm that the image has been captured. after that the picture of the objects get turned into a sepia coloration allowing for the experience of not only sending the object to other locations but through time as well.
