A quick experiment into trapping users. We (Chris Lauritzen, Nicole Chan, and I) attempted to trap a users photo looking for a funny face. We attached a simple button mechanism over a laptop computer and gave users some simple directions that we were doing a survey of Art Center faces. Upon pushing the button an obnoxious three second doorbell chimed before the picture was taken. The location was placed at the entrance of the building and was left alone for us to observe. In observation we found that more men then woman used the button. Woman tended to do it in groups also where as men made more faces.
