IxD Project: Ideation & Project Concept

Idea & Concept

Step Back in Time

This project is basically to portray the authenticity of Klang by using the graphics of layering of lines which indicates time is stacking over years and years. Thus, the changes of a day in Klang will be shown through floor projection mapping. When the user steps on it, it will trigger the animations and they can see the changes of Klang from morning to night. There will be different graphic assets to represent the key visual of Klang. For example, silhouette of crows, abstract form of city and port Klang. Users will get to experience the changes of visuals with audio and SFX when they are stepping within the circle. Besides, the user can also step on the lines and interact with the lines to stimulate a fluid-like motion between the lines. This is to create feedback within the spatial space.  

Idea 1

1.The installation is displayed in a space(room without doors) whereby outside the room is a waiting area for the tourists
2.The room is busy with noises first with random topology lines 
3.Lines will move when the user steps on it
4.There is a designated spot with decorations 
5.User step on it, the animation will start to generate, noises stop, the ambiance of the city start to play
6.As the user steps longer, it will generate more and more lines and graphic elements and it will become brighter

Idea 1.2

1.Mainly focus on artifact 2
2.Lines generating on the floor
3.When the user steps on the inner lines, it will only form very tiny, small buildings
4.When the user steps on the outer lines, it will form more symbolic lines and buildings, the most outer lines have crows flying around

Idea 2

1.3 different screens at the hotel waiting area, three screens associated with headphone
2.Instructions will be given based on audio
3.Screen will have a random topology shape, there will be dotted lines for the user to trace 
4.When the user follow the tracing, it will forms graphics, followed by ambiance// sound being heard in the headphone

Idea 3

1.It will have 3 cylinder buttons, (day, afternoon, night) and the screen appears the clock ticking // numbers
2.The user can choose which input they want to experience 
For example, if they choose the day, they have to put their hands on a sensor and it will start to generate the graphics on the wall, the longer they put their hands on it, it will generate more and more layers and more and more birds flying around
4.Audio will also generate continuously
5.If they let go of their hand, everything will go back to normal 

At last, Idea 1 which uses the idea of floor-projection mapping is being chosen.

Concept Video Mock Up


This is a very rough video mock-up as the visual of lines will only be seen through visual coding. Besides, the visual assets will have to amend during the project development stage. However, we could roughly understand how does the transition of circles will transit from one to another through this video.

IxD Project: Floor Projection Mapping Setup (Critics & Refinement)

Image
Floor Projection-Mapping Setup Critics & Feedbacks There was a critic session held to get feedbacks and critics from peers and lecturers. I will list down all the critics below. First of all, the animations take too much time. It does not have a rigid reason for the user to continue stepping within the circles because there are no animations playing and the feedback from the lines is too subtle. It was suggested to add some narrations to let users know what's the purpose of the graphics and animations. They should know what's the point standing and stepping around the circle. I should cut down the time and add some audio to improve the overall atmosphere.  Secondly, the feedback from the lines is too subtle. It's not inviting enough. Thus, I should tweak the formula and smooth time in order to get instant feedback when the user steps on it. For right now, I should minimize the smooth time to get very engaging feedback.  Thirdly, I was suggested to take out the looping o...

IxD Project: Production Process (Coding Design Development)

Image
Design Development This project is very challenging than usual because it uses visual coding which is very new to me. Before starting the visual on coding, I've tried to develop some visual to see how it looks like. I've tried to see and compare how does the circles will look like if added with dotted circles. Lines without Dotted Circles Lines with Dotted Circles Unfortunately, these designs look bad because I feel they look like Indian Diwali and it doesn't match with the overall look and feel that I want.  Design Development with Coding Formation of Circles with Joints At the very first stage, I've learned something very interesting which is creating circles using coding. This is very new to me as I never explore this kind of coding before. This feels like bringing back to my secondary life whereby the formula and calculations to create a perfect circle is being implemented now on coding. From this coding, I've understood that by instantiating the joints, it will...

Case Study 2 - MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM: teamLab Borderless

Image
      Introductio n       MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM: teamlab Bordeless is the world’s first digital museum that displays digital interactive arts. It is created by art collective, called teamLab and located in Tokyo’s Odaiba district. Teamlab Borderless is also known as a world of artworks without boundaries because it is a museum without a map.       The museum has 10,000 square meter spaces that uses 520 computers and 470 projectors. It is filled with more than 50 pieces of digital artworks. The 3D digital arts move freely and constantly in motion from one exhibition to the next so that the visitor can immerse themselves with the wonderful artworks together.   Interactions The artworks are spread across the museum’s five zones. The first zone is called ‘Borderless World’, an interactive digital landscape where visitors are encouraged to create their own path. People can walk through digitized waterfalls and touch luminescen...
