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

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 of circles when nobody steps on it. This is because, for ixd experience, we shouldn't control users what they should do to gain the experience. We should always provide engaging and instant feedback to tell them what should they do. Thus, there are some improvements and changes to be made.

Problems & Challenges

There were some problems occur during the setup. For instance, the animations keep flickering after building it. One way to solve this issue is that I have to preload the animations first in build settings before building them. Besides, the Lidar could not track the area on the right side. To solve this issue, the scale of the game object of RpLidar should always reset to the scale of 0 0 0. 

Code of RpLidarMap


The cube will follow the movement of the user and trigger the interaction.

At this stage, the movement of lines is more natural compared to the beginning stage. Besides, the feedbacks are more obvious and each circle has different graphics and stories to tell with. I also change the animations of the city by rotating it and replace animations of birds (night) with cargo ships to represent Port Klang.

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...
