Interactive Week 3

Developer: each person can do one or more roles. For the example.
– Designer
– Technologist
– Learning Scientist

Concept of interactive work is to combined sound, light, technology to make your job seem interesting.

Design and development process: similar to software development life cycle.

Convivial Activity: Design interactive computing technologies for people to be fun, happy and WOW!!
Some works may have ulterior purpose that try to communicate with us by using interactive technology.

Universal Design For Learning Guideline[UDL]
– Representation:
the way we shown our work to make people recognize.
– Expression:
the way we act to make people interest.
– Engagement:
to make people interest and feel bound with our work like the word engage which is translated as คู่หมั้น.

World Expo: good example of interactive.
A world’s fair, world fair, world exposition or universal exposition (sometimes spelled expo for short) is a large public exhibition. These exhibitions vary in character and are held in varying parts of the world. The next World’s fair will be Expo 2015 in Milan, Italy.

And the last…. THAILAND Yay!!

Walk Through “Thai Health Promotion Foundation”

Vision: “Everyone in Thailand has capability, and is living in a society and environment conducive to wellbeing.”

Mission: “To promote initiative, enthusiasm, coordination and mobilization among individuals as well as various organizations in all sectors so that they have capability to form a society conducive to good health.”

First I will talk about the sculpture

image          As you can see the white deer on right hand side. This sculpture name “Friends” placed at center of first floor. Concept: A relationship that is believed to interplay of human, animal, tree, sky, earth, water and air.

The second one is the birds sculpture.(On the opposite side of deer). They all have 365 in 3 color- orange, green and white.
Concept: 365 day of happiness.
– Orange mean knowledge
– Green mean nature
– White mean everybody

There were 10 sculpture but we saw just 3 of them.

They have 4 main hall

1.IMAG1036Start with ME: We saw 2 interactive computing. One is เหยียบพื้นแล้วมีไฟตามรอยเท้า. Another one is when you touch the wall it will show you some information about  “To listen or not listen-To believe or not believe-To do or not do” that is the aim of this room.

2.Together WE can: In this room we’re watching 2 movie about นายโสภณ ฉิมจินดา a disabled photographer Who never give up in his disability and continues to bring smiles to the society.
The interactive one in this room were probably the camera.
IMAG1038

The concept of this interactive is: To let us see the earth widely.

We take a picture by standing on the floor(earth), look up on the top and when you ready just click on the button on the wall
Cheeze!!. Your picture will show up on the wall.

3.Let’s go GREEN: Yes concept of this room same as it’s name. It’s about green environment.

This room was my favorite one. They give us an information by using electronic book, it have about 11 pages you can change page by swiping your hand in the air. Very cool right!! That made people interesting in those boring stuff.

     

Another technology in this room are Light Pipe, table that made from the milk carton and the idea that let the light pass through the basement to show the concept of green environment.

4.ThaiHealth and well-being: “Possibly you… can create healthy society” These inspiring you to living with a happy life as a fourth dimension- Body Mind Intelligence Society. ปลุกพลังบวกในตัวคุณ(ME), ส่งผ่านสู่ครอบครัวและคนรอบข้าง(WE), สานพลังเพื่อร่วมสร้างสังคมสุขภาวะ(Society).

There are 2 things in this room that involves with interactive computing, that is Sound Dome and Smart Table.

 

Interesting Things
Solar Cell on the roof top: Saving 3% of energy for this building.
Automatic Fin: Help control the amount of light and reduce the heat that enters the building.
– Green Roof: Organic Farm
Building Automation System
– Carbon Dioxide Sensor: Help get rid of dust and bacteria in the air.
– Low Emission Mirror: Protects against UV and the amount of heat that enters the building.
– โถงกลางของอาคารเปิดโล่ง: Reduce energy consumption in buildings.
– โถงบันไดเปิดโล่ง: Encourage people to use the stairs
– Water management systems: Support water and wastewater treatment systems to be used in buildings and plants in the garden.
– Green Terrace: Master of non-smoking building.
– Recycle Material: example of table that made from the milk carton.
– Light Pipe: Renewable electricity in the basement.
– ช่องนำแสง: Replacement of lighting in the basement.
– Light Shelf: Reducing the glare and heat from the lighting in the library.

Interactive Week 2

Today Aj.June begin class with the meaning of “Interactive” and some computing technology that was a combination between art and science. She introduce us to see the mobile application call “Mahidol Channel” (It also available on a cable TV as well)

1        2

In a TV program part, It has an article call “DeScience” (Came from Design + Science). They have some VDO that used interactive design.

This is an example.

Another thing that teacher talk about is “Pichet Klunchun – Chang Theater” I was very amazed when I know that Chang Theater located at Prachauthid 61, (not far away from here but we didn’t know..)

Everyone calls me “Khon Dancer”. In the foreigners eyes, I like a dancer that act as symbol of Thailand. Everyone thought I was a conservative but in the eyes of Thailand I was a scorer – a cultural attack. Because Instead of a mask that is filled with colorful vestments, and costumes of characters “Ramayana” or ”Aunkrut” presented by the Fine Arts Department. Pichet uses silver and black mask with a set that contains only black pants, male buttocks and chest strap silver sequins . under the name of ”Black and White Khon” Khon dancers of 40 years believes that the only way to help the dancing art of Thailand back to society is to search for old knowledge and then reused with the creation of new knowledge.

Even he was rejected by some group of Thai people but today Pichet are invited to join the international performing arts festivals from around the world.
