Oftentimes at a bath house, people scrub the backs of their loved ones, as it&#8217;s difficult to reach your back with your own hands. I wanted to emulate this affectionate experience on a digital platform, to help people connect in remote circumstances.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"SCRUB LOVE (60-212)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qHYLhijiOSY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5>Experience for yourself <a href=\"https:\/\/net-greg.glitch.me\/\">here<\/a>.<\/h5>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/glitch.com\/~net-greg\">Full Code<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For this project, I created a (2) synchronous, and (3) equal experience for two people. As my project was a fictional interpretation of a very tangible, physical experience, I had to do enough revising to capture the essence of the experience under the affordances of digital media.<\/p>\n<p>I achieved this by having two people scrub each other&#8217;s back synchronously and at equal positions, rather than making one scrub the other&#8217;s back asynchronously. As synchronous back-scrubbing between two people is impossible in real life, I think the digital experience became something unique on its own, transcending beyond a digital replica of the physical experience.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;m satisfied with the final product, as I was able to maintain the original intention from start to finish. Figuring out the right animation for the noodles was really difficult, but the experimentations paid off in the end.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6886\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-212\/f2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/net-greg-final.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"388\" height=\"778\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>My initial ideas: <\/strong>I had around four ideas in mind, based on what I thought would be a delightful experience:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>&#8220;Don&#8217;t look at me!&#8221; &#8211;\u00a0 Every user is a person in a bath. If your eyes dart towards someone else&#8217;s body, you get some sort of punishment.

Once enough cursors cluster, it reveals an image hiding behind a black screen.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Bike together&#8221; &#8211; A collaborative, side-scroller biking experience. Every user bikes on a &#8220;chain of bicycles&#8221; (like an extended tandem bike), jumping and avoiding obstacles by angling the phone. If one person fails to avoid the obstacle, the entire group fails the game.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Scrub together&#8221;* &#8211; A collaborative scrubbing experience.
