Touch me dare
Sunday, 18 November 2007

I discovered the touch me dare screen in the main university building the other day. The concept behind is that music samples will be played when the screen is touched on both sides on the same spot. By playing with contact area, pressure and movement you can trigger all kinds of interesting music patterns.

It was designed to sprout a new kind of meeting on the Lowlands festival.
Playful, and sometimes sexy:

Interactive blog-system for elderly
Thursday, 08 November 2007

During the Dutch design week I encountered some intriguing projects all over the university campus.  “Piece of family”, as it is called, is one of them. It’s beauty is in it’s simplicity and the use of a book as metaphor for a web log.

The setup is an A4 – sized book-cover with on the inside:

  • right: block note paper
  • left: a scanner

 

The interaction:

  • Granny writes her message on the paper, and / or adds printed pictures
  • Granny closes the book – a scan will be made
  • The image is automatically sent to her blog as a post  


Blogging for elderly just got a whole lot easier. As for now this is in a prototyping phase, but Vodafone is now working on it to take it to the next level. I hope to hear from it again sometime.


Very loveable idea Sanne !

First weeks as an USI
Tuesday, 30 October 2007

So far all good:

 

Great colleague’s

New stuff every day

Social events / trips / parties

Sharing some labs with Philips

Feels more like being on Erasmus again then working

Heading out with a smile every morning.

(until I end up in the traffic jam)

 

The first weeks were all about introduction, getting settled and a few short courses. One of them was HTML. Because of this I tried to speed up the site a bit since I didn’t really knew what to do. Found out not everything is browser compatible yet, so I’ll have to work on that later on.

 

It was the professional development course so far that I like best. Some examples of what that is all about:

 

- Why not to shake left hands with Muslims  

- How to give / receive business cards in Asia

- Body language in meetings / presentations, theatre skills

- Develop yourself in any way you can think of.

 

All really cool knowledge and matching workshops for the real world when I’m all grown up,  so I try to get as much out of the program as I can.

 

I’d like to write about all the neat interactive projects I saw on the presentations of the graduating generation. Unfortunately they were confidential.
