K-motion

Clothilde Huet, Cécile Baltazart I 2nd and 1st year

 

STAKES

K-Motion project can be explained with some simple worlds like sharing, mobility, personnalisation, customisation.

We want to distinguish our device from ordinary music players, calling for an original design, creating some "tribe", some communities of users.

K-motion objective is to create a musical and mobile network of users that exchange and communicate their emotions through music.

It developps emotional sharing which musical sharing implies and generate interpersonnal communication starting from the music: concretely, this project is a hardware device with inbuilt services for sharing and listening to music.

 

OBJECT

K-Motion is composed of two jewels/objects:

-The necklace, a link between the headphones

-The bracelet, screen, interface, that displays (or not, if you don't want it to) your mood's color and rythm, animation, graphism, according to your preferences.

 

USAGES

K-Motion is an access and a part of musical network. This device creates an emotional link between users, as it is built with users moods.

Poeple share a musical moment at the same time and in the same place. But as the sharing is anonymous, There is still a part of mystery which protect users intimacy. In fact, in this musical network, no one knows who is diffusing and who's receiving.

And if you're in the mood for communication, you've got the possibility to find out who's on the same wave length. Diffusing punctual states of mind, K-motion is a kind of musical identity card that gives you a musical dress...
