But how might everyday interactive devices be improved by anthropomorphic characteristics? Would we be more likely to partake in sustainable consumerism of electronics if the devices were more sympathetic? Could we be healthier if our Fitbit got angry with us? This year's Physical Computing project will attempt to answer some of these questions, while physically prototyping interactive devices with empathetic qualities and anthropomorphic behaviours. Will will focus on the use of simple electromechanical outputs to achieve these results.
