OK so I've now got a more concise idea for my interactive media project. I've developed some good ideas for methods of interacting with a computer, other than the usual ways we use everyday, from my other modules, previous work I have done, browsing the internet as well as checking out some new media publications in the library and in magazines too.
My project is going to be a game for children about the weather, which can be interacted with in many ways to create different weather effects on a screen, these in turn will effect the landscape in the animation.Each element will have a different way to interact which I feel reflects how children would persevere each element for example the sun will be controlled by a light sensor, so when the child turns a light on using a specially designed button the sun will come onto the screen.

For the wind I will use a air sensor which the child will blow on to create a tornado.

Another example is a temperature sensor for snow, I'm not sure how I'd make it smaller but if I found a way I think this would be a good way to make snow.

For water the only idea I have is gesture recognition, which the user can draw a cloud to create rain.

I doubt I have the time to build a properly working project and I certainly don't have the funds to build it, but I am going to build up as many of the elements as I can, and will make a demo to show how it works.
