Digital media has specific conventions established to lead
and allow the user to interact with an interactive application through an
interface. the variety we have now in media such as touch screens, cell phones, i Pads, game consoles and computers, allow the developers to generate new
concepts and ideas that eventually become part of a big pool of resources. These
resources are eventually taken by artist and creatives and transformed into something unique.
Sometimes it not enough just to have an idea. this idea
needs to be developed and polished trough a long and maybe complicated process
in order to get the best of it, and part of being an artist or developer
includes criticize your own work, view it from another perspective and also search
for help and feedback from other people.
The normal language used to interact with the user is formed
by a group of already established symbols and preexisting conventions, but
every developer is free to interpret the resources and capabilities of every
tool in order to achieve a good interaction with the user establishing a bridge
between the media and the subject. Also, by generating unique conventions and
symbols is possible to provide a beautiful and aesthetic background to an
interactive media application.
In the examples seen in class I felt really attracted by
"ceremony of innocence". One of the things I noticed on the video we
saw, was that the audio seems to be very attractive and it reinforces the idea
of the user being interacting with the interface, using the space and
generating changes in the environment.
we can shift and accommodate the tools in order to strengthen our ideas. Take advantage of the medium. By moving trough the space, we also give the sensation of
moving in time. so one way to change the time in what is been shown is
by managing appropriately the space inside the interface in conjunction
with sound, and this is a big step moving towards an inmersive
experience.
some time ago, looking some information about interactive
experiences and the idea of animation, movement and change I found this
website: http://anasomnia.com/
I especially liked because of the fact that I can interact
with it using a webcam to generate changes in the light and actually trigger a
very nice animation. Also the animation is very attractive and is a unlike way
to relate darkness to a different world in this case the dreams, that in some
cases don't have any sense but you feel the time moving and the action being generated and this to me is expressed in the animation by moving in a kind of vertical growth, repeating constantly some loops where the object generates itself over and over.
As a professional, I had the opportunity to interact and get
involved in the production of augmented reality applications as a 3D modeler
and animator. As part of the pipeline of production, this experience gave me a
new view about interaction and communication with the consumer using non conventional
tools, for example ID cards and pieces of paper.
These are some videos of my previous experience with AR.
I apologize for the audio, is in Spanish
