This blog is dedicated to Jesse and Tori's Wednesday evening section of Principles of Experience Design at the Ontario College of Art and Design, Winter 2008.
As simple as it is, I can see people buying this ,‘contraption for entertainment purposes’. Everyone plays , or have played a game of catch in their lives, and this is an interesting twist to the very straight forward game. Instead of a simple ball and glove, you are presented a vessel containing liquid . When throwing it around from one person to another, you are encouraged to use angle and different positioning in order to gain the advantage over your opponent. The liquid within the vessel shifts the weight within the devise, changing the position and movements of the thrown object and making it more difficult for those trying to catch it. It is this increase in difficulty that makes the game more challenging, and therefore fun for others to play. I can see the average student ( the kind who play hacky-sack ) getting into this, hipsters , more athletic suppose to bookish oriented individuals .
