- Done to answer the question: how do we gain and perform our cultural identity?
- Humans throughout the years have ended up crafting their identity through their performance. This is the mudmen – a tribe in Papua New Guinea that perform special dances to ward off enemies, and on the right is an exercise for actors to become transformed into a heightened state of awareness to become their characters

- Humans shape and express their identity through their actions, the performances they do, the clothes they wear, and the culture they come from. Cosplayers do this through active engagement with their culture and their character to the point of embodiment. - http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/01/10/hatsune-miku-cosplay-by-aice/ http://kotaku.com/5478710/whats-the-last-thing-a-splicer-sees?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+kotaku%2Ffull+%28Kotaku%29
- The con is a social avenue for people to come together and share in the love of anime and gaming (and what other content is there). For a con attendee to interact with a cosplayer, he/she must know the character, or be intrigued enough by the costume to be able to start an interaction with a cosplayer. Insert a quote here from focus group.
- The con is a safe area for cosplayers to express who they really are – as fans of anime and video games, but also people who are expressing their love of these characters and media in a physical and embodied manner
- The opportunities for natural and genuine interactions at cons happen when the attendee can recognize the cosplayer’s identity and character and interact with that person both as the character and as a cool person
- Current designs at cons are mobile and do offer the ability to create impromptu interactions, but they are based off a mechanistic (non-human) means of pairing people together based on a likelihood or prediction that a natural and not forced interaction may occur and radically alter the experience for all involved - http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/30/concept-design-for-g.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29 http://www.converve.de/badge2match.html.html
- And here’s an opportunity for design to come in –to capitalize on this moment where attendees and cosplayers naturally interact with each other to celebrate, engage with, and learn about the characters around them to help everyone see that we’re all just people trying to have fun at cons - http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2686/4163075164_44b6089e29_b.jpg

- Here’s the plan to help get this design out there and into the wild…
- To start making a solid idea, I made a paper prototype of the idea and brought it in front of my peers. I would take the role as the computer, and I would ask participants to take a photo of a cosplayer and to use the tool to start a conversation with the cosplayer.
- I learned the best aspect of the design that needed to be improved upon was to help keep the experience as close to a con as possible. The earliest iterations had many different types of pop-ups and screens that needed to be dealt with to keep the experience as streamlined as possible.
- From the paper prototype I learned that participants were excited about taking photos and learning about the character and would be interested in talking to the cosplayer about the character. This helped me to turn to a higher fidelity prototype to get the experience closer to a con.
- By asking to take pictures of cosplayers, leave them a message, star, and learn about cosplay groups
- Matter of seconds to pick up and were excited to use and play with, and constantly went ahead of me during the evaluation process

- Here’s the plan to help get this design out there and into the wild…
- In order to make this work, this design could be included as part of a larger system, possibly on an electronic check-in during registration during a con. This could allow everyone who goes to the con to have access to the design. In addition, this design could possibly work in other conferences as well, helping people to realize the importance of others around them and how to interact with them.
- The con’s website can also be integrated for data entry and also for a place to come to all of the time to keep the interest of the con and also the relationships that are created through the system
- As of right now the design is mostly wizard-of-oz, but developers have been quickly creating prototypes and designs that utilize the iPhone and RFID and will be soon to release the two in the next generation iPhone – this is playing videos after scanning each of the toys on the screen below.
- There are already working patents and buzz over the iPhone and RFID, so the technology is getting to the point where these two will work seamlessly. http://www.fastcompany.com/1618512/iphone-apple-rfid-concert-ticket?partner=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+fastcompany%2Fheadlines+%28Fast+Company+Headlines%29
- From the use of this system, relationships can start to flourish between cosplayers and con attendees. These friendships can help expand each other’s horizons, get people interested in trying new anime and games, or even finding another awesome character to the awesome list. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/4297243370/sizes/o/
- There are quite possibly many different positive effects from this design: increased awareness and consumption of cosplay, more anime is watched, more friendships will be created, people will want to attend cons even more, and a social bridge will start to be created between con attendees and cosplayers - http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2009/12/500x_pikagirl.jpg
- Cosplayers may be able to find more people to talk to them and learn about others. In addition, the con may also be now even more of a gateway to finding interesting and wonderful people to talk to, enhancing and tightening the community - http://darkdiamond.net/reviews/con-report-howaito-de/
- The privacy concerns – only those who will opt in – and I have helped to show that not every cosplayer will be swarmed like they would be in Japan – cosplayers will only end up giving information about their character and not themselves, and can be as personal as they want it to be
- Here’s the plan to help get this design out there and into the wild…
- I had a great time building and learning and enjoying being around some of the best people I have ever met. Their kindness will never be forgotten, and I would love to continue to stay in this community and keep making costumes and cosplaying. Seeing and feeling the joy is a great feeling hard to express in words.
- Build and make the prototype work for the people and pitch it to a real con
- Future work: take into account meetups, exceptionally large groups of cosplayers, and bring the design to a con and have people try it live
- Here’s the plan to help get this design out there and into the wild…
- If you’re going to be part of a group, there’s a lot of questions: how many in the group? Are they comfortable with their character? Do you generally fit the characters? Will you have fun with them?
- Everyone here helped to make the project much more epic: the professors, the cosplayers I interviewed, the people who helped evaluate and critique the design and the design process
- And now I’d like to turn it over to you, the audience, for your thoughts, questions, and other pieces of insight
