The goal of this two-day project was to create empathy with an extreme user group by means of eperiential design. We have tempted to simulate the addictive behaviour of drug addicts. We have modified a set of glasses by adding lights an sound as irritating stimuli. The stimuli intensified over time and the test person was only allowed to reset the device in absence of other people. The test was first funny but soon became an intense experience.
