For the follow up, I want to pick Ran Zhou’s project about feeling alive. I’m personally really into the topic about being present. People are busy living their life but somehow easily take a lot of things for granted without appreciating it. The whole system of Ran Zhou’s project is designed to create an immersive and close to reality experience of losing life.

I appreciated that she took the risk of building this tremendous system with careful consideration of detailed experience design. She came up with the plan of combined technology even she didn’t know how to build it right now. I like her wild thinking and believe that’s how amazing ideas comes from.

In contrast of my own project, I think what I lack is the detail. I built the rough project because I assume with limited time, I can’t do a lot, which kind of limit my ideas.

Her projects also inspire me with another possibilities of using very specific scenarios to impress viewers. Talking a topic in general sometimes won’t get people related, but with specific examples, it might be better.
