SEMIOTIT

Semiotic interaction: this is an experiment of the interpretation of symbols based upon common language prompts. Each input device will have a symbol or symbols directly related to the proper use of the device. The box will be the simplest prompt and symbol the understand due to the symbol drawing upon pre existing symbols related to the opening of a box. The potentiometer will be built up into a small plate sporting a square nob. This nob will have symbols similar to an arrows that point in the direction that nob must be turned to register input. The final device will be a 20mm x 40mm sheet of wood with a hole drilled in the center which will house the IR Sensor. The symbol will guide the user to move their hand over the sensor without explicitly stating where the sensor resides.

The game will tell the user to interact with a specific object first by using very obvious language and as each stage progresses the language will change and become more complicated and convoluted but still reference the same action

This is an experiment to ascertain the depth of knowledge and the semiotics of language pertaining to describing action
