We are challenging you to create a digital version of a physical interaction such as a high five, a tap on the shoulder, or a hug.

Consider:

• How to express the sentiment of the interaction rather than only visually replicating it.
• The subtle ways you use body language to tell you a friend you agree or disagree with them
• unique ways your friend group or whanau use gestures to say ‘hello’, ‘goodbye’ or ‘I’m just joking’
• The difference between a gentle shoulder tap and an urgent shoulder tap and how could you express that digitally?
• What current digital ‘reactions’ and interactions do? Animation and vibration are common features!

We want to know:

• What physical interaction are you replicating (the more specific or unusual the better, what do you and your friends do?)
• What your digital interaction looks/sounds/and feels like

You don’t have to make actually it work! You can:

• draw the interactions in a storyboard
• make screen mockups to show what the Interactions would look like
• act it out using video
• fake the interaction using video
• use a programme to mock up your idea. For example Figma https://www.figma.com/education/students/
