Today’s lecture focused on sketching and pre-conceptual work for domestic and ubiquitous computing design. We were also introduced to the Report that’s due in two weeks.
In today’s group meeting we discussed further, the actual interaction that will be involved with the project. We settled on the interactive screen being the form of interaction. The screen will be the actual link between the fountain piece and the public, it will give more freedom of telling important related information as well as let people interact with the fountain by activating different scenarios.
These scenarios could be past or future simulations in terms of water levels in the dams; the user could set a year and the fountains’ levels would change according to the over-all average catchment level of that year. Or insteading of seeing what the Dams used to be they could also see what the Govt. predicts the levels to be in 5 or even 10 years – with the drought still around or not.
From today we have all agreed to go off and just start sketching possible designs and solutions to this project. So a later blog will be posted in the week hopefully …
I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine.Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music that he's created over the years - I don't really listen to it. But the fact that he's making it, I respect that.
