iScream!: Towards the Design of Playful Gustosonic Experiences with Ice Cream

摘要

In this demonstration, we present iScream!, a novel gustosonic experience that generates unique digital sounds as a result of eating ice cream. The system uses capacitive sensing to detect eating actions and based on these actions, it plays out six different playful sounds to facilitate a playful eating experience. Our aim is to support a playful way of eating because we believe that interactive technology offers unique opportunities to facilitate novel engaging eating experiences. Ultimately, with this work, we aim to inspire and guide designers working with interactive playful gustosonic experiences, which open up new interaction possibilities to experience eating as play.
