Crank the Box

To enhance our ideas, we search around the internet to get further inspiration and to strengthen our ideas. We read through a few articles, looked at some art inspirations online and watched some youtube videos about commercials done by companies around the world. After awhile, we stumble upon a great video done by Coca-Cola many years ago. The idea is called The Friendship Twist. Here's how it works:

1. Take a Coke from the fridge. 

2. To open the coke, they require to have someone else with another coke and work together.

3. Both people have to attach the bottle caps head to each other and turn clockwise from their respective sides.

4. And WHALA, the coke bottle was opened.

From this point, we concluded the idea of sharing coke with people. And we ended up with the core experience of connecting people of KL together.

We added some more extra features for our description for this particular project. 

• Faster speed, more feedback (etc. lights, SFX, music, patterns)
• Share and exchange
• Get rewards
• Change the question mark with a spinning board - “Crank with Friends” 
• Indications (eg. speed-meter, spiral tube)
• 4 lights that glows when one side spins (like a health bar)

Squeeze Kl

We are still deciding on which material to choose for our miniature buildings from plushie toys to silicone rubber to life-vest plastics. And for the stuffings, we are searching from cotton to synthetic fibre. And sensor materials from your typical force resistor interfacing to flex sensor that cost an arm and a leg if we ended up choosing that.
