Mi cajita
Mi cajita is not a personal blog, it´s not a image album, it’s not a collection of trendy gadgets or cutting edge gizmos, but you might find all these in here.
In mi cajita (my little box) I keep all these things that I come across and I like.
If you are visiting this space I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Pig Chase interaction iPad game
Playing with pigs
The Playing with Pigs project is researching the complex relationship we have with domesticated pigs by designing a game. Designing new forms of human-pig interaction can create the opportunity for consumers and pigs to forge new relations as well as to experience the cognitive capabilities of each other.
Humans play the game on a tablet computer such as an iPad. They move the ball of light with their finger and see the pigs’ snouts as if they were on the other side of the screen.
If pigs and humans move in harmony, that is, if a pig’s snout and the human’s ball of light move through a goal triangle, it triggers a colorful display of fireworks.
The game enables humans to play with an animal they normally only consume as meat. For pigs, humans are transformed into a source of entertainment.
The Playing with Pigs project is a collaboration between the Utrecht School of the Arts (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht), Wageningen University and Wageningen UR Livestock Research.
