My pen has a football on it, which you could spin around. This is similar to a world globe; people spin it without thinking about it. Thus, not really taking advantage of the environment, but more taking advantage of physical abilities, I think.
1. What is happening in the scene?
During the lecture on Monday, Stuart was spinning the ball on my pen and I caught him doing so. This was a thoughtless act because he did was not even consciously spinning the ball around.
2. Possible physical or digital design solutions?
If a round object on an axis really affords people to spin it without them being conscious about it, something should happen when the spinning occurs. This is why this thoughtless act has something to do with our project, the user could spin the globe around and we will surprise the user by sending him back in time to a random year, showing the Earth as it was known by mankind at that particular time.
