The Virtual Charisma Garden ● Why are you doing this? ● A lot of people are using a lot of social online services – They lost the overview of their used social services – It is difficult to get a feeling how active you are in the online world and how peole react on your activities ● A plant or especially a garden can represent the healthy of your character very well. – Spoilt plants → something goes wrong – growing plants → you may be on a good way ● Plants have their own lifecycle – Changes in this lifecycle coud be used as sign for changes in your virtual presentation – Transform real world events to the virtual world ● e.g. Facebook plant get worse → you will use facebook friends...
