everyday environment We spend most of our time at home. If we can have exciting experiences at home, the quality of life might be better. By having a different point of view in our everyday environment, we can turning the ordinary into the extraordinary that makes our life more interesting. To keep exploring, discovering and having a different point of view always bring fresh impressions. playful experiences Playing offers us the opportunity to try out things to see what might happen and it engage with everyday objects experientially. Connection between kids and adults The gap between adults and children is getting wider in present-day living. This makes a split in family. By finding the intermediate between the generations, they can spend time together more often without too much effort and compromise, and it makes their relationship better.

Thinking about a home environment, I can see a big gap between adults’ world and children’s world. They share territory and a house together, but sometimes their differences make them separate. There are many different worlds in one place, because people have their own imaginary worlds, which are made through own physicality and thought. Even if the world is thought of as real, it is uncertain. According to the survey from PRNewswire in 2003, overall 63% of parents wish they had more time to spend with their children, therefore the time they do have is perceived as very important. This figure increases significantly for working parents (81%), however over half of at home parents still feel they are not getting enough time with their children. In reality, most parents wish to have time with their children, at the same time, they also want to have their own time. I think they have incompatible needs because they assimilate themselves to the children’s world too much. Most toys are designed only for children. In this situation, adults need to compensate and put themselves on the children’s level. I believe it would be great to have some tools to fill the gap between the generations; to find the halfway point to coexist comfortably. By using objects which people have already own and putting a little technology into them, they can share time and experiences in very modern and fulfilling way.
