Class activity - extending the human experience ? (wearable technology)

in groups of two, explore an interaction between two people using two microbits

So the idea is to take an existing platform and transform it, say lazer tag technology, turned into a form of communication such as morse code.

examples could be:

emoticon = showing emotion on the LED

game console = playing a multiplayer game in a space (think of the pong at the traffic lights)

remote control device = control a device with the gyroscope (light, motor etc)

sensor light = proximity sensor, which vibrates, to tell if someone OR somthing is standing behind you.

voting = voting on if you like someone or not

the polution sensor ( mask that goes over your face )

light sensor to tell if its day or night outside

NO CLASS TODAY (thursday morning)-  1701QCA Making Interaction

Due to a death in the family I am unable to be at class today.
1. I will make myself available via facebook text/video chat today if you need assistance for assessment 2.

2. I will be emailing assessment 1 marks out today as well so check your emails later for those as well.

3. Dont forget to sent me a 100 word description(approx):

Choose an existing interactive platform (a board game, a revolving door, an artwork, whatever), analyse its interactivity

, and how you might re-imagine, transform, or enhance it. 

4. Think about  how you might re-imagine, transform, or enhance it, and mock a prototype up for week 10.

Looking forward to see your outcomes for assessment 2 next week.

Assessment 3: Reinventing interaction

Choose an existing interactive platform (a board game, a revolving door, an artwork, whatever), analyse its interactivity, and develop a way it could be re-imagined, transformed, or enhanced. This will involve some investigation and analysis as well as technical work. The emphasis of the assessment is on experiment, play, and process; the finished project will include both a written explanation of the concept (1-2 pages), and a usable object or space.

You may build on your work in Assessment 2 for this project, but you cannot simply repeat or correct it. The new project must show ample evidence of re-conception, for instance moving from a motion-activated nightlight to a model house with interactive lighting.

Possible topics

You may pick one of these topics for your assessment, or choose your own.

• Photobooth: Find a new way to take a photo remotely, without the camera operator being present. Be specific about the time and place for this project—taking photos of animals at night is a common real-world example.
• Sculpture: Make a sculpture or installation that changes shape and/or look with the viewer’s participation. Think both about the physical object itself, and light and shadows.
• Signage/wayfinding: Design something to help people find their way around a specific area (e.g. level 4, or an office building, or other space). This might be a handheld device, or public signage (e.g. LED screens).
• Kitchen aid: How could a specific kitchen tool be improved, or is there a kitchen task for which there isn’t a tool? “Improved” might mean making the tool work better, or it might mean making it more fun, or funnier.
• Playground: Make a game you can play with your eyes closed.

Hi all,
Again, well done with your electronic board games.

By class next week write a 100 word description(approx):

Choose an existing interactive platform (a board game, a revolving door, an artwork, whatever), analyse its interactivity

We will be discussing this inclass, and how you might re-imagine, transform, or enhance it.

1701QCA Making Interaction

1. Due Date for Assessment Two: We want to show our works in class and give a very short presentation. So we are going to do those on May 9th. Which is then, in effect, your due date.

2. Presentations: On May 9th, in class each student will show their work/prototype, describe what it does, and then make it work for us! You can have 5-10 minutes. And this is an informal presentation, so no need for Powerpoint etc. BUT...please have something to say and bring your work. If anyone has a reason why they don't want to give a presentation, just drop me an email explaining why (in detail!).

3. A video: Because it is vital, important, absolutely necessary for you to start documenting your work, everything you do in this degree, I am going to ask you to create a short video showing your prototype working. I won't expect any fancy editing. But some editing would be good!!! The video should be around 2-3 minutes (5 minutes max) and show your prototype, you discussing how it works and how it changes a space etc. Try to have a title page. You can put this video up on Youtube or Vimeo. Here are some free video editing tools: https://www.techradar.com/best/the-best-free-alternative-to-youtube-video-editor

4. The prototype: Bring it to class!!!! Make sure it works!

5. You need to also submit a 3-5 page essay/report about your work. Basically, this report is going to be similar to Assessment One. But as you actually made the prototype, you are going to: 1. discuss what you made, how it works, 2. how it transforms as a space, situation, interaction or some kind of something, 3. how you might finish it and make it a proper artwork, product, thing (think of the case, other parts and electronics and robots, colors, designs, location, durability etc), 4. Technical and design details (you should use images here), 5. explain other possible ideas and future uses etc. 6. discuss the research you did you make the prototype. 7. anything else you want to add!

Cheers

Hi guys,

So sorry for the confusion regarding the last email titled IMPORTANT Update/details for assessment 2 , that email was intended for the other classes with incorrect due date and page count for the essay/report, and was sent in error by myself.

Due dates have not changed nor have word counts. See below for details to confirm.

1. Assessment 2 DUE DATE:  Monday of week NINE by midnight. That is the 7th of May. 
You will be submitting both documentation of the prototype working and your 500-800 word description on Monday.
During class on the 10th of May everyone will be presenting the prototype to the class. So that we can all see it working.

2. OPTIONAL video: Because it is vital, important, absolutely necessary for you to start documenting your work, everything you do in this degree. The video could be around 2-3 minutes (5 minutes max) and show your prototype. Try to have a title page. You can put this video up on Youtube or Vimeo. Here are some free video editing tools: https://www.techradar.com/best/the-best-free-alternative-to-youtube-video-editor. Perhaps include this video as part of you essay/report.

3. submit a 1-2 page (longer is fine) essay/report about your work.  In your essay/report discuss: 

- what you made, how it works 

- how it transforms as a space, situation, interaction

- Technical and design details

- a photo of the space you are focusing on

 - an image of how the prototype might look if it were installed in the actual location (photoshopped)

- a photo of the finished prototype 

- discuss the research you did to make the prototype.

Again sorry for the confusion,

Tristan Griffin
