Cell phone Headphone Key and ID card
Cell phone is a daily technology that becomes more and more intimate to people’s life. Signals from cellphone form a huge network, connecting people in the world like invisible threads.
Headphone is a devise that is more than just playing music. It could creates an isolated personal space, as well as a sense of comfort and secure.
Keys could be very personal, or even become a memento to a memory. Identity card could function as a key. Moreover, it give people different identification which is also like another layer of skin.

User Interaction Observations and ideations on how people interact with headphones
Attaching the headphone onto a tabletop actually allows a bigger interact area for more people to “play” with the music. Attaching and detaching can create both personal space and social space.
3D Prototypes
Phase one problem:01. The size is too big for just a few people to interact.02. People are all facing one direction instead of facing each other when playing.03. Attachment to ears and head are not idealized.
Phase two observations:01. The dripping part is circular instead of squarish.02. The dripping part could be longer to form a circle.
Secondary Research
{Headphones}noun

- Oxford dictionary
“a tool whereby users manage space, time and the boundaries around the self.”
“They construct their moods,
they re-make the time of their day,” says Dr Bull., “It’s a much more active process even though it’s dependent on the machinery.”
“music rekindles a memory...”
“The earphones absolve them of some responsibility.”
“Inner space” “Community work”
