hoggettS



The Hoggetts are a small flock of networked sheep. Interaction occurs through the act of petting (spinning a Hoggetts' form). When a person spins a Hoggett's form, it emits noises indicating a dialogue between people and Hoggetts. All members of the flock are networked and aware of each other's physical state (being pet or not). As people interact with the objects, they all respond to each other. Depending on the number of people engaging with Hoggetts, a range of social interaction between people and Hoggetts (objects) can occur. The Hoggetts intend to encourage novel forms of social Group Play, inviting individuals into its networked-based ecosystem.
