Homework

Due: Monday April 1 2013

"Thoughtless Acts" exercise was assigned to you today. Inspired by some of the example observations you saw today, your task is to capture Thoughtless Acts you see around you and post them on the course web. Make sure to discuss 1) what is happening in the scene and 2) possible physical and/or virtual design solution(s).

It is due Monday April 1 so you have about two weeks to complete your assignment. We will have a discussion of your observations on the following week.
