A garden gnome hangout! This idea was inspired by my very own friend’s obsession with gnomes, especially in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. I dedicate this to her.
I wanted this project to be synchronous in that you can immediately interact with those who are also on the app alongside you in real-time. It should be able to function remotely as its purpose is to be able to interact with people across the world; however, I did put a limit to only 3 people(likely to change). I would like to have this as a concept of safely saying hello to anonymous people, but that is all they can do… hang out with each other. In this way, with a smaller group, I believe a sense of curious intimacy can happen rather than a large group of users. All users have equal roles which is just dragging their finger around the grass acknowledging the presence of each other.
