• D&AD Brief – Concept

  Date: 2012.03.08 | Category: DJ22011 - Interaction Design (media products) (11/12) | Response: 0

  My previous blog on this topic discussed the brief and some of my initial ideas. I am now pleased to say I have completed this task and you can watch my concept video at the top of this entry.

  It is based on an art exhibition for artists to showcase their work in a new innovative and interactive way. The app iExhibition lets viewers have full control of a gallery by selecting an image then swiping a copy of the image onto the wall. You now have two copies of that image: one on your phone and the other on the wall. You can use your device to resize, move and rotate images around the exhibition space. There is also an option to allow the user to create a more real environment that brings the art to life. You set the theme of the room so you actually create a new environment that reflects the art work on display. There is also a feature that uses augmented reality that shows a live description of the artist and their work by hovering your camera over an image.

  This has been a very interesting project and has let me feel creative in new ways. Creating a concept video and not actually creating the finished app was new to me and it was a great way to explore new innovative and interactive ideas.

• Interactive Foil – The Future?

  When I first read about Interactive Foil I was not sure about what use it could serve to the general public.  However on second reading it became very clear that the the Interactive Foil designed by Visual Planet is a very useful piece of technology.

  The Interactive Foil is vey lightweight and flexible that can come in two configurations – a poster and window. The interactive touch-screen foil can be applied to any surface except from metalic. It can be used in shopping centres as a guide or even at bus stops or expensive property so vandalism will be at a minimum. Also if you spill food or drink on the foil it will still work and is not affected by various light conditions.  So taking all this into account the Interactive Foil will help people not get lost, especially tourists, and make a city or town a lot cleaner.

  I think this type of technology is what we are going to see more of over the years as touch screen capability and interactivity is the future of technology.
