Last week I used the laser cutter to cut the net from cardboard. Although the cardboard worked well and gave a clear indication of how it would look (scale 1.2) I want the prototype to feel polished and finished. I decided to use black acrylic, this material has many beneficial properties and it is much more... Continue Reading →
Digital Tinkering – CapacitiveSensor
This week I have been working on concept developments, and even though I have not chosen a concept to develop further I shall exploring the different way's I can bring those interactive elements to life. The concept " " has a element that can be replicated by using a CapacitiveSensor in it's simplest form to... Continue Reading →
Concept Development – Co-creating Artefacts
This project would be a collaboration (co-creation) project where by myself and a volunteer (preferably someone who has AD and participated in my primary research) would design an artefact that represents their experience, story or interpretation of their anxiety. Video footage and audio would be projected onto the artefact - explaining that persons personal struggles... Continue Reading →
Concept Development – Mirror Projections
This project aims to take the audience on a personal journey, exploring the daily struggles of someone suffering from Anxiety Disorder. The double sided mirror is symbolic and represents the two sides (what we see and what is happening internally) of a person suffering with specifically Anxiety Disorder but also mental health in general. The... Continue Reading →
Concept Development – Real Time Video Mixing
In my previous post I used an exercise called Crazy Six's to help me generate ideas, from here I have chose three ideas to research and develop further. This will aid me in deciding which idea has the most potential to move forward through the concept development stages. Concept 01 The idea behind this project is... Continue Reading →
Digital Tinkering – Piezo Instrumental
Project 05 As you press the button's different tones are played through the Piezo, you can expand with different frequencies to expand the musical output. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdDZ7dPVf1o&feature=youtu.be
The newest form of story-telling? Swarm drones.
Okay so, the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics is well under way but, I just want to take the time to reflect on how the drones stole the opening night show and has been a huge talking point ever since. Watching the Olympics is always amazing with record-breaking performances from various athletes, however, on this occassion Intel's... Continue Reading →
Jason Bruges – Pixel Constellation
https://vimeo.com/182060580 Jason Bruges a London based designer who created a dynamic multi-sensory experience called 'Pixel Constellation.' The experience took place at IFA 2016 in Berlin and uses four signature products from LG: are purifier, refrigerator, OLED TV and washing machine that immerses the audience in movement, light and sound. References Bruges, J. (2016) Pixel Constellation.... Continue Reading →
Digital Tinkering – Piezo
Project 04 This week I have followed another activity from the Arduino Projects Book. This project utilises a photoresistor that will be used to detect the amount of light across its surface, by moving a finger across the light will change the voltage on the analog pin and which determines what frequency the piezo plays....
