'' | '''First Idea''' | ||
My first idea was to use a light sensor to capture the closing and opening of my fridge door during breakfast preparation. | |||

This could serve as a device to monitor your workflow in the kitchen; it could help to minimise the time the fridge door is open and thereby decrease the consumption of energy. | |||
'''Second Idea''' | |||
Then I thought of using the light sensor to capture the emptying of a glass. | |||

It could be a device used in bars: When the glass empties the bar man is notified to take a new order. Or the amount of what you've drunken is monitored for payment afterwards. Or to prevent drinking to much. Or it could be used in a drinking game. | |||
'''Third Idea''' | |||
Here I captured shady areas with a light sensor while walking around at night. | |||

'''Fourth Idea''' | |||
Finally I wanted to capture the hopping from one channel to another with a light sensor. | |||

There was a diversity of motivations for looking in the mirror: | |||
*checking one's outfit, | |||
*checking one's tiredness, | |||
*fighting one's self-doubts, | |||
*for practical reasons, | |||
*well... the mirror was there | |||
*and so on. | |||
But most striking is the fact that almost all of them stated in one way or another that they sometimes wished not to see their reflection or that it was totally unnecessary to look in the mirror. | |||
'''Video Mock-Up''' | |||
With the video mock-up I seized on the idea of a mirror that can refuse to give a mirror image. But for narrative reasons I settled on a more traditional concept of being able to set a mirror to 'mute'. | |||
Wouldn't it be great to decide wether a mirror shows one's reflection or not? | |||
