Exercise 1 - Andrey C., Eve Z., Leigh M., Allison L.
SMELL
The sense of Smell is scientifically classified as Olfaction. In the air there are several different particles, many of which we inhale everyday. More specifically, odor molecules released from particular objects are what our brain calculates to be Smell. These tiny particles are called Esters. Esters are not visible by the naked eye or the microscope.

Esters are not visible by the naked eye or the microscope.These odor molecules travel in the stream of air that is inhaled through the nose and into the nasal cavity. Located at the top of the nasal cavity is the Olfactory bulb. This bulb serves the purpose of the primary receptor of the molecules.
The receptor consists most importantly of tiny strands of nerve fibers, which are submerged in mucus. Upon contact, the Esters are dissolved in the mucus and the strands absorb them thus sending information to the Brain and Smell is detected.

Supplementary Reading: The Design of Everyday Things 12-17
The Design of Everyday Things 12-17
"Without a good model we operate by rote, blindly; we do operations as we were told to do them; we can't full appricate why, what effects to expect, or what to do if things go wring. As long as things work properly, we can manage. When things go wrong, however, or when we come upon a novel situation, then we need a deeper understanding, a good model (Norman, 13-14)"

Perception and Cognition Mental Model
Here's your collective mental model of the senses, for reference in Exercise One.
Exercise One: Perception and Cognition Research
In the first class, your Project One group developed a mental model for one of the senses, to the best of your knowledge. Expand your knowledge by researching the sense in question, and post the results of your research to the blog.
Make your post succinct. It should no more than three paragraphs, and should make use of images where appropriate. Specifically identify any misconceptions in the mental model developed in class and correct them.
This post must be made by the end of the day on Sunday, January 13th. Please include the name of all of your group members in your post.

Exercise 0 - Adam Mark Oliver
Hello all,
My name is Adam Oliver, my discipline is Industrial Design. I'm pretty good with computers, lets say 7.5/10.
Exercise Zero
Your first Exercise is to perform a number of administrative tasks that will help our section of Principles of Experience Design run smoothly.
1) Join the Blog. I have sent and email to your OCAD email account inviting you to join the blog. You will need to set up a Google account if you don't already have one.
2) Gain access to the TEMPORARY_STORAGE drive. I will demonstrate how to do this in class. Here, you'll find a folder that contains the class photos that Tori shot earlier. Please find your photo, and prepare it for uploading to the blog. Make modifications as you see fit - cropping, enhancing, effects - but don't spend too much time, as there's lots left to do. If you have access to another photo that you prefer, feel free to use it, but make sure the photo clearly shows your face.
3) Make a post to the blog which includes the following:
-Your full (and your preferred) name;
-Your discipline: graphic design, industrial design, etc;
-Your general level of comfort with technology, ranging from "I don't have a clue" to "I'm an expert at the use of all software and hardware." Be specific (ie name the software and hardware that you know). This will help us tailor the class to your existing skills (or lack of), and
-Your photo.
Please title your post "Exercise Zero - Name." For example, my post would be called "Exercise Zero - Jesse." Also, label your post with the Exercise Zero label provided at the bottom left of the posting window. Please consistently follow these conventions for titles and labels in the future.
