16.04.18 I went into this project with prior knowledge of 3D software (unity & 3DS Max) but had never used Maya. Luckily, the basics are very similar to 3DS Max and the only issues I had were when adjusting to the UI although this was only for the first few days. I attended our first tutorial … Continue reading Dimensions
19.03.18 We began the module by looking into the fundamentals of interaction. First, we looked into the differences between the subject (user/audience), the interaction and the object. We established that many variables found within the subject and object affect the interaction. It was most difficult to analyse the interaction as it is the only non-physical … Continue reading Deconstructing Interactions
05.03.18 I completed the task of editing the invitation, then began to edit websites using Mozilla's X-ray Goggles. I can make some sense of all the HTML, CSS and Javascript code but I don't understand how to get all of the code to interact with one another to create a website. I began to edit … Continue reading Web Fundamentals
Planning 13.02.18 After re-reading my proposal from Design Domain I, I began to research into decay. I looked into the deterioration of organic and digital systems. This led me to the preservation of data. People often refer to digital data as permanent, but in reality, it is easily lost or corrupted. Physical storage devices decay … Continue reading Design Domain II
29.01.18 After the lecture, I met with my group and we began to problems we had with ATMs. We noted issues such as security issues with the user, long waits and the use of bank cards. We then went for a walk down Sauchiehall St to observe and capture photographs of ATMs. We recorded … Continue reading CoLab
22.01.18 Today was spent on research and developing software and hardware skills. My time in the studio was spent finding initial ideas for the project. I was attracted to the idea of creating a timeline of historical speeches (Neville Chamberlain, MLK, JFK, etc.) in the past century up until the present (Farage, Trump, May, Corbyn) … Continue reading Soundscapes
On Monday the 8th January, I met my group over coffee before our tutorial the next day. Everyone showed each other kindness and I felt a good chemistry and an excitement for the project. The next day we had our first tutorial, essentially outlining the brief and prompting areas we may wish to explore. Afterwards, … Continue reading Cross Schools Course
Inspiration When I hear "non-linear narrative", I think of branching story games like Telltale's "The Walking Dead". These type of games exploded in popularity after the release of "Heavy Rain", a game renowned for its gritty style and for each choice having game-changing consequences. I am interested in this method of storytelling as it increases … Continue reading Non-Linear Narrative
I started the project through research. I went through the links on the Augmented Sculpture Overview page. Many of the videos like 'Box' showed projection mapping to an incredibly high standard and utilised it a performance rather than a tech demo like most videos. This video inspired the experience I'd like to create. I'd like … Continue reading Augmented Sculpture
To start I explored a variety of ideas, most of which were inspired by the references we were shown after the design domain symposium. After looking through multiple TED talks I became interested in the superintelligent AI. Many speakers warned of the huge dangers that superintelligence would pose but we often ignore it due to … Continue reading Design Domain Proposal
