Sensory Ethnography

From these three activities i chooe "eating an orange" for further project because it interests me that the way you eat an orange depends on the way you cut it. i documented it in other 5 people and took the photo graphs.

Ø  The first person noticed the smell of orange and tasted the juice in his mouth. I observed that he had to eat the pyramid shape orange piece 3-4 times where as the semi-circled one almost in one go. According to him, it saves his time and makes it easier to eat an orange.

Ø  The second person noticed smell and taste. For her it was hard to eat the pyramid shape orange piece and when she tried to eat it, the skin of orange crackled and the juice from the skin bursts on to her nose skin which makes her nose smell the orange.

Ø  The third person couldn’t notice the smell and could taste very little because of the flu. She found the semi-circle shape orange piece easy to eat in one go but as she bite too hard or close to the orange skin, she tasted the bitterness from the orange skin.

Ø  The fourth person noticed smell and taste like others but detected that semi-circle shape orange piece was juicier and smelled more of orange than the pyramid shape orange piece. She also found that pyramid shape crackles more than the other.

Ø  The interesting part in the fifth observation was that he found the pyramid shape orange piece easier to eat than the other because when he squeeze the pyramid shape piece in his mouth, it is easier to suck the juice from orange because of its pointed shape. Though you have to eat it 3-4 but it is worth of getting all the juice in the mouth rather than on all other places.
