New Ways of Interactions - Vimeo Videos



I really like the idea of Lego X as it enables individuals who may not have any engineering or design skills to be able to design products and visualise their idea's without using complex programs or mathematical skill.

Using Lego blocks with a type of motion sensor underneath each block, the application used on the tablet is designed to track where the pieces of Lego are being placed. An accelerometer sensor could have been used as it measures the changes in gravitational acceleration to sense motion in multiple directions.

This technology is interesting as the structure built from the Lego blocks can be used to form different objects. The Lego blocks can go from being cuboid shaped to being smoothed and rounded to form other objects such as a toy plane. Additionally, the application supports 3D printing software meaning that the structure built from Lego can be physically made.
I really like the idea of Toot as it allows young children to explore and interact with physical objects to introduce them to sound and can be controlled in a mobile application. This product was designed as a young child would find it quite difficult to play a small keyboard or guitar compared to a number of blocks.

Unity Project 4: Ball platformer game

Finished game displayed in the scene view. Scene view Assets Uses Rigidbody so that the ball can use physics (Gravity) therefore it doesn't fall through the ground. The 'Rolling Ball' script is attached to the ball which adds force to the ball. Ball Inspector Scene view displaying the invisible cube object which can be used as a trigger for an event. Scene view When the console prints 'COLLIDED', the ball has collided with a specific object (Invisible cube). Console Message The invisible cube that is attached to the 'Trigger' script. When an object does not have a mesh renderer, the object becomes invisible as we cannot see it due to it not having a mesh. Cube Inspector Field of view changed, so that the ball can be seen from a slightly different angle. Follow target script also attached allowing a first person type view of the ball as the camera is set to follow the ball's movement. The camera can be moved so tha

[Research] Traditional Poster Design (4CTA1214)

Image
As you can see from the superman poster, there are only four main colours used which includes red, blue, yellow and brown. All elements are filled in with block colours with no shading which was a common colour theme for traditional posters of this kind. This poster may have been used to advertise a new Superman comic or movie depending on the year it was created. The expression on the characters face fits the title shown on the poster explaining that he is returning. This poster advertised Coca Cola, and looks as though this specific poster was used in the USA - due to the currency used. The whole aim of the poster is to incorporate this drink into working peoples daily lives. This is seen by the slogan, 'Work refreshed' and the small graphics on the bottom right of the poster. Displayed is a man working in a factory environment and a lady is working in an office environment both drinking cola during their breaks - to feel refreshed. In some ways the bottle and
