this blog post body needs to be rebranded...

some rough graphic sketches

Software Team:
- Figure out Edge Blending pre-existing library?
- Keystoning > distorting opengl image
- one app, 2 opengl windows (>processing)
- 3D Model Import in Quartz Composer / Processing / OpenGL?
- which software to use

Graphics:
- Visualize the 3D perspective of the building. How does it work to focus on one specific lab? How is the motion?
- What visual representations can we have—type. images etc? How

Audio and Interaction (currently the same)
- Can we get input from 4 mics? does it need a hardware interface?
- what software to use? will we use a second computer which is connect to the one in the 3rd floor?
- how do the mics look like? Make the interaction understandable.

Schedule:

Until Tuesday Assignment:
each group investigates options for implementation:

Tuesday 4/7
Class meeting.
We talk about the work results and decide on a final design and concept.

Teams:

Graphic Design:
Haruka
Richard

Software:
Daniel
Mark

Sound:
Agnes

Interactivity/interface:
Jeff
Robin

really, a "shooter" might work...

(but some projections I saw over the break)

Bringing new levels of interaction to the whiteboard by recognizing symbols and languages

It is evident that both an exterior projection on the corrugated aluminum of E14 and on the model are feasible. In general, I think the projection onto the building itself is more impressive.

We are very happy to welcome Paul Mijksenaar to our class next Tuesday. Find below the info for his talk on Monday, we expect to see all of MAS 960.

WHAT:
Paul Mijksenaar:
"Architecture and Wayfinding: A Matter of Spaces and Cues"

WHEN:
Monday, March 30, 2009 5:00pm - 7:00pm

WHERE:
Wiesner Room, MIT Media Lab (2nd Floor)

SUMMARY:
In this talk, Paul Mijksenaar will demonstrate his ideas on the strong role of architecture for wayfinding (spatial) criteria and, accordingly, the task of the signage's (verbal) criteria. In addition, he will discuss the challenges and opportunities of dynamic signage with active interfaces.
