Retrieved from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh7KIRO4cHg&t=14s

Studio Play is an assortment of establishments pointed toward giving space to kids and families visit the museum. This installation set up in 2016. They use cutting-edge technology for giving families the experience to use body movement play around. Reveal and Zoom is an enormous 4k video wall that allowed the audiences to move their bodies for painting artworks. 

The studio comprises 4 sections: Pottery Wheel, Collage Maker, Portrait Maker and Paint Play. The establishments utilize a combination of time-of-flight depth cameras, custom C++ software programming and ongoing illustrations for letting the users experience conventional creative strategies, in a fun and gesture-based way. Users may save manifestations by sharing them on the exhibition hall's Tumblr site.






A section, Pottery Wheel used a totally new way to deal with cooperation in an exhibition hall setting. Users need to make sure they stand in front of the real wheel when sculpting the pottery in 3D space.





Paint Play used a custom hand-following way to deal with the paint stroke onto a virtual material to investigate the experience of activity paint.





Collage Maker for users to play around and learn the art. In the Portrait Maker section, users take a selfie by a machine placing there. Then, the photo will display on a big screen, users are allowed to draw out their portrait at a standing screen machine in front of them. 


                 
                                Virtual Reality Experience - Eschelon board game

Retrieved from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w7QfNU794A


Eschelon is a virtual reality board game where multiple players are allowed to join. This board game released in 2017. Players can construct decks of creatures and start fighting battles. The game is generally a traditional board game but mixed with virtual reality which ensures the player experience a totally different environment and feeling. This digital board game is allowed to play at everywhere regardless of the spaces you have.


In the beginning, players use cards to spawn animated creatures then the battle can begin.




Player's view in playing the board game. Unlike traditional board games where players have to imagine the action of their creatures and the battle carried out as well. However, the Eschelon board game brings players into a deeper experience with seeing the characters have their battle just like online games but mixed with reality. This makes players more enjoy the process of playing the game. At the same time, players learn to interact with computers.


Seeing through these media, I learn that it is essential to integrate design and experience together. Take the first case study as an example, Nomadic Tribe, this web design included sound, illustration, voice reading and the transition effect applied as well which given the full experience for users to go through.

Besides, the interactive exhibition, Studio Play also makes users experience the advancement of technology. Users get to experience with their senses. I particularly like the way this exhibition lets users interact with others by moving their bodies. It's a lot more fun.

For the VR board game, Eschelon, I love how the designer integrates traditional board game with digital. This experience makes it a lot more fun compared to conventional board games.

Hand Up Do good Project Proposal - Week 7

  Project Category I choose the sixth category for the assignments which is optimizing: making daily activities more efficient. Project Background Our human brains can store a maximum amount of memory. Therefore, we rely on taking notes down in case we forgot. This task seems so simple for normal people to do, we normally send messages in our own chat on our phone or take notes in a digital notepad. Similarly, most blind people have the habit of taking notes too. They use audio recording as a result to keep track of these tasks and plans. However, they experience inconvenience from the phone recording because they will record the voice instructions if they use their phone at the same time. In addition, the audio files are arranged in an absolute mess without labels. Besides, there are more steps for them to click the recording they want. Because they need to go to work every day, they always bring their essentials —white canes, work bags, wallets, and keys— along with them. None o
