The object above is a prototype for a smart computer, that is enabled to regulate things for the user. The user can interact with it via gestures and for simplicity the object has a display to «speak».
This object allows to test different scenarios with the «Wizard of Oz Method». The object just displays text which I am writing at a nearby computer. I can thereby present the object to a possible user and let him interact with it, controlling the objects feedback by myself.
