Wheel of fortune

Concept
There are two wind mills with pictures of scare crow faces with exaggerated features. The wheels can be spun and the user must make a face on the scare crow that they think the child of the two faces would have. In the box are various noses, ears, eyes etc to choose from.

Physical interface
The exhibit will consist of two large chocolate wheels (wind mills) with 12 different images in total (6 on each) a bin with bits of face in it and a scare crow that the bits of face can be stuck onto. The image below does not have different images on the wheels yet. The images will probably be photographs taken of the scare crow with different prominant features.






Interaction
Usere spin the wheels and try to imagine what the child of the two faces would look like. They then choose the features they need from the bin behind the scare crow and stick them to the face.

Information provided by exhibit
This exhibit explores in a very basic way the idea if inherited features, it gives the user the chance to really think about how inheritance might work and how influential genetic inheritance is.
