Experimental Design Ideas - Sensory Ethnography

For the first project for Experimental design ideas i have tries to select 3 everyday activities which i think are very mundane to our everyday lives. I think it is interesting to observe the subtleties in activities that we do almost everyday as there are so many things we do not think about.

 I went out and wrote down a list of everything i do in a normal day, here are  some of my initial ideas for this sensory ethnography.

-Walking in the rain
-Walking through gravel
-Turning my alarm off
-Biting my finger nails
-Shaving my facial hair
-Drinking water
-Crossing the road
-Taking a photo
-Strapping on my watch
-Shaking someones hand
-Calling someone on my cell phone
-Texting

From this list i think i will look further into walking through gravel or in the rain, strapping on my watch in the morning and crossing the road, as i think there are a lot of feelings and emotions involving our senses that we don't take into account when we do these things.
