fred is an interactive fiction for smartphones. In this application, the smartphone addresses the user as if he were his “friend”, wishing to establish an emotional relationship. The experiment relies on the smartphone’s many sensors (touch screen, front-facing camera, microphone, gyroscope, accelerometer).
Fred allows, through interactions, to become aware of the constraints and possibilities of our smartphone, but also to reflect on the relationship we have with this object.
Here are two demo videos of some interactions:
