Imaginary-Expressive-Object



This week we were asked to come up with an imaginary expressive object so I came up with:
 
THE FEEDBACK DISC
Enhance your game so you can start rattling those chains.
 
It is an electronic disc golf disc that will give you feed back in all of the key areas that can be improved to enhance your disc golf game to the fullest.  The Feedback Disc comes complete with four screens, equally seperated as to not upset the balance of the disc, that give you instant feedback in four key areas; Rotations Per Minute, launch angle, distance traveled, and hangtime.  The feedback disc employs four sensors/buttons that test to see whether the disc is in contact with your hand or not.  After pressing and holding a button for a few seconds it senses that your are ready to throw and once the disc is released from your hand it begins compiling data on it's flight until it detects any type of contact (hopefully not the tree right next to you).  It also uses a tiny accelerometer to test for the initial launch angle.
 After a tough day out on the course take your disc home and plug it into your computer, via usb, for even more FEEDBACK!  The disc comes complete with a program that can produce a 3D rendering of each and every drive you through from the day as well as a rendering of all of your drives averaged together.  The ultimate tool in knowing exactly how your disc will fly in the future.

  1. Would be nice if it support immediate, realtime feedback - vibration sensors or something that would help you aim/stabilize your throw, etc.
