meeting with Paul 13-10-11

Discussion
We had a meeting with Paul and discussed the topic of empathy and the concept of "putting yourself in someone Else's shoes". Paul suggested an idea of having a pair of shoes that you would stand into and a sensor would trigger something to happen such as display tweets from the shoe owners twitter page. We also said you could have many pairs of shoes to choose from that would belong to people from different walks of life such as wellingtons, army boots, sandals etc. Paul suggested to look into how this would be developed/implemented for example with arduino's and heat or pressure sensors. We must research into other metaphors for empathy and more on the topic of empathy.

Tasks
We decided to divide up some tasks for the week. I will be doing the technical research and Lauren will be doing research into the Empathy topic.
