Storyboard and Description

For my Interaction project I have chosen to do something with touch. So as my storyboard suggests, I have little tiles which have a different surface type. For example one piece has a little extrusion in the top left corner of the tile. When someone interacts with it and touches it they know that that piece needs to be moved to the top left or moved diagonally just by touching the tile, no vision required. Another piece will have a subtle finger imprint that you can only tell is there by touching the tile which depending on where it is on the tile indicates that it should be moved in that direction. My tiles stimulate the touch sense by allowing the user to rely on the touch alone and not sight. By using the subtle details I achieve this because when someone looks at the tiles they cannot see the finger imprints for example. It is going to be exciting for the user because they can no longer rely on their sight but they have to rely on their touch to feel these objects.
