initial thoughts
I need a script for how this interaction should go. It should feel more organic and fluid than just filling out a form. It shouldn't, however, take more than 10 minutes to get through stuff. The end result is to collect:
- an email address
- how a user found out about the town
- if they have a referral from an existing member
- what interests them about the town
- any links to personal websites or social media
A given is that the applicant is interacting with a "host" that guides them through the process. Should there be more than one host?
How many rooms should there be? 1? more?
in terms of data collection, I intend to just save the transcript of their interaction instead of more structured data. The only real structured data are email and referral.
another idea/thought/dream:
the whole point of this is to spatialize a form. it's a form! a set of questions and corresponding textarea elements. but in order to trigger self reflection -- as well as a feeling of being seen by another (in a good way) -- i want to turn the form into a shape. i'm thinking about this like the room in Eclipse Penumbra:
(For the Hollow Head was drug paraphenalia you could walk into. The building itself was the syringe, or the hookah, or the sniff-tube)
so, spatialized, every room is a question. the rooms take shape as a linear script the user moves through by:
- answering a question
- executing a verb
and finally at the end, a verb to confirm submission.
