  Part II
  Design and create a concept that augments the
  human experience in some playful way.  Your concept should be context
  and user aware. It should be aware when a user is present and what the
  user is doing.  It should off-load cognitive, physiological,
  meta-physical, and physical load from the user– and in-effect somehow fit [even if sarcastically] into the general evolution of ”labor-saving
  devices.”  Projects are highly self-guided but build on concepts in the
  first part of the class.
