The final three



I think I will have to choose from these three ideas,
first one being, creating theme amusement parks, or places where "out of aged" fun loving people can go and enjoye rides, swings and slides..

second one is interactive mirrors, every time you look into the mirror , you see something new along with your own image

third one being sounds and echoes, something with sound..
lets see..

Coming back..

Coming back to some work , after so many days.Feels good, when you start to work after a short break.
So this time I took to think about the various new media things which can be done.
Basically thinking about the media which are possible..



So.. firstly I thought of by what all means do we sense, the five sense organs, and the way we perceive.Re-considering the objective, trying to understand what am I trying to focus at..

I have some three ideas, fist is an amusement park, for the "over aged" ones, second is interactive mirrors, and third one is something with audio textures.

From the next week, we are to start with "Design for the web", I will think if this project can be taken up there and continued with that course, or if not, then later.

Brainstorming

Very Initial Brainstorming..

This is how we start with any project.Imagine to sart a project with
as brief a brief as "anything new media".
hmm.. I spent the whole of my week thinking about what all things I
have ever thought of..
all my concepts which I have had throughout my life as a student here,
and try to pick up anything which interests me, which I would love to
carry forward as a classroom project.

So here is a list of some of my ideas:

An electronic newspaper, which you purchase once and keep with you forever, it gets wireless feeds of news from the news service you want to subscribe to , and hence you dont have to pay for a newspaper everyday.Make it interactive and you can choose what you want.A single page can serve as a complete paper.BUT.. ahem.. you cant wrap your chappals in it!

A New Media dustbin, which becomes aware of the people around it and tells them to throw the waste in it, hence stopping them to litter.

Or have plates and bottles ( use and throw kinds ) which remind the user to throw them into the dust bin.

Next was immersive theatres, whatever the scene on the screen is, the side walls , and the ceiling of the theater also turn to that form and colour, so that it gives the user a totally immersive feeling,may be even the temperature can be generated according to the colours on the screen..

An experiential design for the people who are over-age for swings in parks, creating a feeling of sitting in a merry go round, or see-saw, or swing etc.

Still thinking on what to do..

I think I need to think more...
