Week 2 Project Statement & 54321 Poster

There are two different ideas that i choose to work in the final degree assignment. 

Augmented gaming

Concept and Idea 
  
Nowadays, the price that used to buy a pet is quite expensive. This issue might give a bigger problem for some people that loves pets. Besides, some of the pet is not available to be adopted in certain country. For example: fox, lion, tiger and etc. In this game, user can adopted the different pet beside dog. The concept that created out this game is to allow user to get a virtual pet in a reality world.

1       Thing that I want to create

For this project, I would like to create a small real pet house. In that pet house there will have a card that can scan out a virtual pet. Each pet house will have different pets. User can interact with the pet. The pet will have different emotion. For example, the pets will get angry when the user have ignored it a few days.  


Target Audience

The target audience that I would like to focus on is kids and teenagers. Most of the time, they will curious with something new and want to try on it. 

Key Idea

For this project, I decided to use augmented reality as a main technology that use to create out this game. Basically, this is an augmented reality game which allow the user to interact with the virtual pet. But, the special function in this game is the user will need to scan through the pet house to get a pet. 

Reason

To allow the pet lovers have a chance to interact with the pet that always dream to be. Besides, they also don’t need to go and buy a pet by wasting their money. This project can help the user to save their money. Another reason that I wanted to make out this game is to allow the user to have an experience on the different way of gaming.


Form and Platform
  
The platform of this project will be augmented gaming which allow user experience the virtual world in a reality world. 


Technology

The technology that I decided to use for this project is Unity 3D (to create out the pets), Blender (make some animation), Adobe After Effect (Adding effect), Adobe Dreamweaver/ Flash (Coding), Adobe Photoshop/ Illustrator (Design the real pets). 


Here is the 54321 poster that explain about the idea.


Interactive Website 

Concept and Idea 
       
      Nowadays, people especially adults have faced for the mental illness problem. It is serious because it will cause some serious crime. For example: Commit suicide, in- drug, unconscious and etc. From my research, 10% of Malaysians to suffer from some form of mental illness come 2020. The concept of this interactive website is to provide courage for the human that suffer on this mental illness.

1       Thing that I want to create

For this project, I would like to create out an interactive website that have some visualization materials that allow people to write some encourage notes to support the people that having the mental illness problem. 

Key Idea

At the start point of the website, the screen will be black out. The website will turn out to a screen which allow user to type in their encourage quotes. The first page will be blacked out because I wanted to show out the mood from the mental illness people. After that, the user will continue to the page that with different light. The user can click in the light and show out the different quotes that support or encourage people.


Target Audience

The target audience that I would like to focus on is adult from age 20-40. Besides adult, I will also focus on teenagers which also having the stress problems.

Reason 

To provide more courage and better support to the people that having mental illness. Besides, this website will allow the user to find their true self if that is possible. There will always be some light that shine along to the future no matter how dark the world is.


Form and Platform

The platform of this project will be interactive website which allow user to provide better encouragement to the mental illness people.


Technology

The technology that I decided to use for this project is Adobe Premiere Pro(to edit video), Adobe After Effect (Adding effect), Adobe Dreamweaver/ Flash (Coding), Adobe Photoshop/ Illustrator (For Certain Design)



Here is the 54321 poster that explain about the idea.

Week 2 Research on idea.

After  the pecha kucha presentation, Sweii have send an e-mail and stated that we need also need to create out the project statement & 54321 poster for this assignment. The submitted idea need to be detailed. Before start to think about the real idea, I have done some research on it. 

Augmented Reality

1) BroadcastAR Augmented Reality for National Geographic Channel / UPC



INDE Appshaker recently launched a unique way for people to interact with the amazing world of National Geographic Channel's content from around the globe.Using the principles of augmented reality, people could immerse themselves in different scenes such as dolphins, leopards, the space landings, dinosaurs and more.1000s of people interacted with the National Geographic Channel brand in the process as it toured Hungary, with 1000s more people sharing snapshots and video on Facebook as a result.
2) USPS - Irresistible Mail
 

Working with the incredible team at Sarofsky, I had the pleasure of doing 2D/3D animation and compositing for the U.S. Postal Service's Irresistible Mail campaign. This series of videos demonstrates the USPS capabilities in emerging marketing technologies such as AR (Augmented Reality), NFC, QR. From Sarofsky: "The IrresistibleMail.com website from MRM//McCann New York for the U.S. Postal Service destroys the myth that mail is old news by showcasing the latest innovations, case studies and digital technologies to turbo-charge your next direct mail campaign. To fully engage visitors and demonstrate all the possibilities, MRM invited Sarofsky to create seven different demos that are now featured throughout the site."

3) Whack 

 

WHack is a mobile application that allows a user to digitally place social content in real three-dimensional spaces through the use of augmented reality. Place images on walls, animations on windows or fill a building with typography in a digital space that is constantly evolving. WHack blurs the boundaries between digital and  real space. It’s a celebration of street art, a chance for exploration, a new platform for expression.WHack is an award-winning project. Me and one other team mate travelled to Amsterdam in April and competed in the international Spin Awards Young Talent finals. In this time we managed to achieve the grand gold prize, beating 12 of the best universities in Europe.

4) Where Is the Light? 

 

IAD students Alissa Lorentz och Rebekka Quiroz-Wiberg were approached by Swedish band The Amplifetes to create the music video to their single "Where is the light". The creative duo created a game where the viewer becomes a player.The Amplifetes have never been afraid to push boundaries and try new things. Their forthcoming album, "Where Is The Light", harnesses the power of digital and introduces interaction and gamification into the conventionally passively consumed music video.The creative duo LorentznQuiroz created a music video game, set to the title track, which immerses the player into The Amplifetes world.Viewers can play and share their scores with friends in social networks. Those who have collected the highest number of light beams by December 31, 2012, will win a trip to the Kiruna Space Center on the Arctic Circle.

5) Mario Augmented Reality 

 

Interactive Website 

1)Xbox: Halo 5 - Guardians Visualizer



Coinciding with Halo 5's live action trailer launches, social commentary and UGC were visualized using WebGL particles in the shape of iconic character helmets.

2) A Short Journey 

 

interactive One Pager taking us on an animated holiday adventure. Simply use the hotspots to get involved in the online journey! The interactive magic was crafted by Cher Ami and the impressive 3D & illustrations by Benoit Challand.Close your computer and jump in your car to enjoy a short journey to the sun !


3) Draw a better 2016

Draw a better 2016 is a charitable project designed to accomplish two main goals. The first one is to try to make those children, who are not as lucky as we were, have a little reason to smile during and after this Christmas. The other one is to try to make it so that you, me, and everyone, understands that if we go for it with a good attitude, some motivation and passion, this 2016 can be the best year of our lives.

4) Deja Vu


This is an interactive music video for new single “Deja vu” by KAMRA. By accessing the site on PC, views can create unique music video, which could make them feel the Deja vu moments.

5) 1000 Chrome Experiments 

Chrome Experiments to showcase the work of creative coders who pushed HTML5 and JavaScript to the limits in order to build beautiful, unique web experiences. At first, the site had only 19 experiments, but we hoped they would be a source of inspiration for programmers who made art with open web technologies. Since then, we’ve been humbled by the quantity and quality of new submissions. Today, we’ve reached a major milestone: 1,000 experiments.To celebrate, we’ve created a special Experiment #1000 that visualizes every other experiment on the site. You can explore all 1,000 in a variety of ways, including a real-time code editor and a timeline with selectable tags. Click on the WebGL tag, for example, and you’ll see how that technology surged in popularity when it was added to Chrome in 2011.Along with Experiment #1000, we’ve redesigned ChromeExperiments.com usingPolymer. It’s mobile-friendly, so no matter what kind of phone or tablet you have, or how you hold it, the site scales smoothly. If you’re on your phone, you can also filter the list to mobile-compatible experiments by selecting the Mobile tag.

Week 1 Briefing & Pecha Kucha Presentation

At 19/5,a briefing for Project Planning and Management have been explained by Sweii . This will be the final degree assignment for BIMD1305-1. This subject will ensure to get things done and done in time. will teach us how we will self- manage our study. This subject will help to organise the time that need to create out the project. This is a key of graduate skill and ability and the module also expected that we will demonstrate it clearly. The Pecha Kucha Presentation have been delayed to Saturday which is 21/5.

In the presentation. we will need to present out the topic as below:
  • Interest specialization & Career vision 
  • Topic & Area 
  • Thoughts &Expectation
The first interest that I choose is gaming.I started to play game when i was in primary school.The first game device that i started to try is ps 1.The second interest from me is drawing.. I LIKE THE drawing style from the author. It was beautiful and attracted.And i also interested in animation because it was interesting and funny.
The job that i would like to join one day is game designer.Game Designer is cool because they can create different storyline, charaters in a game. I am very keen on the artstyle ,storyline and the character design from Final Fantasy.Next job that i would like to be is animator.The very first anime that i watch is Inuyasha. My thought for this anime is like "wow,the drawing can move". Sometimes, it was quite fun to see the characters can interact with each others and some of the anime will also give some good message and information to the user.

For the final degree project, I have chosen augmented gaming and interactive website as my focus topic and area. 

Augmented gaming
The reason that I choose interactive gaming because I feel that game can entertain people. Besides, it was quite fun to play game and is challenging. The skill that I would like to apply in this game is using augmented reality. It will be interesting when two different world is combining together to create out an augmented game.

Interactive Website 
There are two different area that I wish to focus on in this topic which are interactive website with narrative and browser game. For the interactive website, user is allowed to going through the different narrative by choosing different path. About the browser game,the user will able to play the game by signing in the website. User can enjoy the game by connect with each other. 

At last, I really hope  that my project can create to help.Hopefully also provide better guidance or encourage people in a better way and support people that need help. Besides, i also ready to change my idea to a better way and improve it when it is necessary.
