Idea+Research!!

Our three ideas to work with...and what we're thinking about them.
Some thing Walter mentioned that we can think about are 1) is itpractical to build 2) how would people interact with it (would the public like it) 3) is it too expensive 4) How will it work? 5) Who do we need to talk to to make it ....etc. =Tunnel/Disorienting Box=

=Heart= I've found this website that shows us how to build our own EKG. []. It costs about 10$, but we could probably find some of the parts second hand. It uses a visual basic program. We would have to experiment to see how flexible the software is and maybe we can combine heart beats etc so visitors can do more with the exhibit. I think this methos would give us an adequate prototype or something to try our idea on. This system uses three nodes though and are supposed to be applied directly to the skin. We wanted to have a stethoscope which would be easier for people to use. I have to see what kinds of options there are :)

One possible thing to consider is the difference between adult heart and a child heart (adult is slower). We can ask what the designers did for the stethoscope in kidspark, maybe we can adopt a similar design? Also, would we want something that lets you save what you did to view at home also?
