Final Project

Project Title: Global Experience Artist: Andy Ye & Jason Xia Instructor: Margaret Minsky Concept: This time we want to design a project which users can have an immersive to the users. Firstly, we want to build a equippment that can allow an object to move freely on a surface. We drew the draft and the blue print and found 3D models on the internet. We all agreed that achieving a free movement physically was great. In Midterm project, we simulate linear movement, and now was the best time to practice movement on a plain. The next step was to think about how to embed an … [Read more...] about Global Experience-Jason Xia&Andy Ye-Professor Margaret Minskey

Project Title: NOWhere to Adventure Prologue: My partner Andy and I are still discussing about our projects' idea and interactive design. Hetherto we have different idea and target for our design. Most of the idea are TBD.  Project Statement of Purpose: I still remembered when I visited the IMA final show in 2021 fall and amazed at those fascinating design. I was a freshmen who graduated from high school, finished Gaokao and took three core courses and one CS intro course in the first semester, thinking that CS major might be the only path in my undergraduate study. the IMA final … [Read more...] about Research Essay

I developed three topics for my final project, which are reality improvement, grid game, and class content development. Reality Improvement: Title: Auto-PCR Test Machine Andy and I came up with this idea when we are brainstorming our midterm project. We thought that it required more skills so we postponed it to our final. The idea is to simulate the repeaded and uncomfortable labour of testing using machanism. I designed to use Arduino for machanism and Processing animation for instructions. The difficult part is to put every step into a loop. The difficulty waiting to be solve is how … [Read more...] about THREE PROJECT PROPOSALS

In his ariticle Art Interaction and Engage, artist Ernest Edmends first categorized artworks into four: "Static", "Dynamic Passive", "Dynamic Interactive", and "Dynamic Interactive(Varying)" to differentiate the relationships between the influence artworks' inner machanism and user input cast on the art effect. The last two categories are about human engaging, which I focus on. For "Dynamic Interactive", the design will respond the same if the input of user is same, while for "dynamic interactive(varying)", the design will respond differently according to environment elements like temperature … [Read more...] about PREPARATORY RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS
