Hi David, You might start by thinking about what kind of things you want to make, and then start researching the companies who make them. You'll find out pretty quickly whether it's a large or small market. Tangible interaction is (IMHO) the intersection between industrial design, interaction

Hello David, I wholeheartedly agree that prototypes are an essential design tool. We often do paper prototypes of our designs, or spike prototypes to test out a particular user interaction within a design. However, I still have trouble fitting my head around how I could make a prototype for the

Hmm may be following will do the trick.. -Volume - Yes a volume indicator. Also, no need to hae a separate led indicating if the monitor is not. just volume control indication will implicitly communicate the device is on. - Channel Selection - this I think is not just an indicator problem,
