Not just thinking about physical interaction but also mental interaction. The take of choices. This is important to draw people into giving at interaction a go.
The quality of experience:
Domains,
- Engagement - deliberate inadvertent

Create something with one interaction. One click - one interaction, one actual point for the audience.
- I-Pac Can be read like a normal computer but connect different type of switches. Ground all connected to one wire.= GND
Started to learn and work with simple interactiions, usuing buttoms, light sensors
Different swtich that can be used with the i-Pac
Important Note - switch has two different activation points, when button is press and when button is release. Depend where the wire is attached at the bottom.
Tilt switch.
Arduino introduction:
Open source hardware and software. Microprocessor. Easy to access code and information from the community. Someone has already done it before. So it is easy to find the similar code. It is user programmable. Come up with a new scenario.
