La Propuesta 3.0

Research Topic :

Interactive Decorative Wall (projection mapping)

Theme:

Social innovation and new media

Background:

Architectural project mapping is that you project a 3D object onto a 2D surface (like the surface of the building, wall). There are some sensors to detect the object that will be interact with the subject. It maybe a single and multiuser experience simultaneously.

Problem Identification:

Plain wall is too boring to see. With these graphic design + some interaction, the wall looks will completely change.

Aim and Objectives:

• to change the environment by changing the design (mood affected)
• to give user new experience while walking in hallway
• to experiment how user interact with certain design with their certain mood
• to implement sensory technology in my project
• to know how mood can affect the way user move and its effect on the interaction

Motivation

By looking at people walking by the wall with little lighting, i can see their shadow portrayed on the wall. With difference height and pace, the wall look interesting with some difference shadow (they differ in opacity and size). So, I plan to make the wall more interesting by adding some graphical design on it and let these people to interact.

Ideation and Concept

An image (graffiti kind of) will be appear due to when a person walk pass on it. It will detect user presence by sensor (mybe heat sensor). The image appears based on the height of the user and the pace it he took. The images shown is based on user mood. User mood will be detected by observing the way user walk and the pace.

The Images

The video

Design Approach

- graphical vector design that interesting

- ornaments/retro element

La Propuesta 2.0

Research Topic :

Touches Shape! (game)

Theme:

social innovation and new media

Background:

This idea is an implementation of a kids' toy, shape block puzzle. In that puzzle, kids need to match the particular shape into the correct opening in order to put all the shape blocks in the box.

Problem Identification:

Learning about shape in normal way would be a boring process for those grown up kids. With technologies, we can make the learning fun and challenging. Playing normal game in normal PC would be interesting yet boring too.

Aim and Objectives:

• To implement new technology in game development
• To provide a high technology experience to user
• To test how kid thinks in solving problems

Motivation

I found that kids nowadays are tend to use digital learning method compared to using normal book. So, I think learning by this game would be an appropriate approach.

Ideation and Concept

I will create a problem solving game and the game will be played on multi touch table. User can drag, resize, rotate and flip the shape pieces in order to solve the problem they encountered.

Example given:

User needs to release a balloon by shooting a blade. In other to make the blade cut the balloon's thread, he needs to put particular shape to helps the blade moves.

It is like "Max and Magic Marker" and "Magic Pen" games but the difference is they are using lines and this game is using shapes.

Review, Analysis and Precedence studies

Multi touch table

Max and magic marker

Magic Pen

Blackboard - they are using shapes

Design Approach

- vector graphic

- cute design to attract kids

- bright colors

La Propuesta 1.0

Research Topic :

Paste It! - save a tree!

Theme:

Old story new media

Background:

Based on the concept of the messages wall that usually found in awareness campaign (common use : sticky notes), I have got an idea on how to make this method more practical, interesting and beneficial to my "Save a Tree" awareness campaign. By using the same method but with difference approach (digital), we can really save a tree by using less paper.

Problem Identification:

Papers become the important things in today's life. Papers are makes from tree pulps. The more we use it, the less tree will be on earth and that will contributing to climax change factors. So, we need to find out a way on how to do the traditional style campaign without using any paper.

Aim and Objectives:

• To conduct an awareness campaign on Save a Tree for Better Future
• To keep the old style of wall messages but with the new technology
• To experiment on the different ways of communicating and interacting

Motivation

Global warming issues..the earth become hotter

Ideation and Concept

With the technology of Web 2.0, we are able to access to web applications which provide interactive information sharing, user-centered design, dynamic content, rich media technology, power decentralization and much more. So, by implementing this technology, i want to create a virtual garden/farm for my campaign. Each tree identified for a day and all the messages send by users will be stored as the leaves of the tree. Users can views the messages of the day on a tree by clicking on it. When user clicked on it, the message will be enlarged.

Review, Analysis and Precedence studies

virtual tree

virtual sticky notes

Design Approach

- high quality vector graphic or 3D images for the tree

- clean and sophisticated screen design

.The Task.

We have been briefed about this project on last 21st of October 2010 and there goes all the details :

Weight: 100%

Topic:

Individual artistic research & documentation

Theme:

• Old story new media
• social innovation and new media
• body, identity and sensors

Brief:

Choose one of the themes listed and develop the concept for a media artwork that need to be realized in FYP2 by engaging in research and pursuing specialist capabilities specific to the realm of project.

Format :

Critique 1 - Proposal, mind-maps, sketches

Critique 2 - Precedence study, idea development

Critique 3 - Content acquisition, storyboard, floorplan, interface design, technical diagram, experiments

Final - Project Design

Due Date : Week 14

So, i'll give my best to excel in this course..Gambatte Ikkimashoi!!
