On Friday, we began the day coming up with three ideas and making prototypes of them out of paper. Our ideas were headphones that would tell you about the city while you rode the bus, a helmet that would tell you information about the city and make it more comfortable to lean against the window (we also made a pillow version), and a map of the city that went all around the perimeter of the top of the bus. We ended up choosing the headrest/ pillow because we felt we would be able to apply our new skills like sewing and making sensors. After, we made another prototype out of duck tape because we felt it would be easier to mold. We attached it to the chair to get an idea of how we would attach the pillow in the bus and made another model this time out of clay. We finished the day making pressure sensors with the felt and the fibre-optic thread. I'm looking forward to working even more on the project and see what else will happen. 

The bus experience for a commuter was fairly decent. However, the bus wasn't very spacious making it hard for me to bring things on that I would need for work. Also the aisles didn't have a lot of room resulting in me having to navigate my way past peoples' legs and bags. The bus also is very slow and stops many times some even seeming a bit unecessary and it is ever worse when there's traffic and the bus moves slowly. Not tio mention the buses are extremely bland and lack any color or things to capture your attention. It might make the experience better if there was even a tiny bit more color. Depending which direction you are going on the bus I noticed that it goes at different speeds so that's something to keep in mind.
