  1. Soundscape about longing

Upload sounds of everyday life, friends’ voices, favorite songs, etc. to the app and create a soundscape by moving/dancing around the phone and using reach, swipe, tap interactions. Music begins when soli senses your presence.

2. Song/composition

Same idea, but you do not upload any sounds and soli interactions produce different melodies/harmonies.

3. Soft phone

Phone is covered in a soft material and emulates a stuffed animal/pillow. “Petting” the stuffed animal translates into the tap and swipe interactions, which the phone will respond to with glowing colors or sound.

4. Productivity

App lets you set the phone to “productivity”/”responsibility” mode. When you reach for the phone while it is in productivity mode you’ll get a notification (e.g. an email via IFTTT) saying to get back to work. If you reach for your phone when you should be asleep, your phone will also yell at you. Group suggestion: include some consequences by automatically generating a tweet when you’re off task
