A lot has happened since my last post. I think the all of the presentations last Monday went really well. Everyone was nervous but I think we all pulled it off! It was great to see people’s ideas presented and it’s a fantastic skill to develop.
I presented the website and demos I created for the project - www.sensorysubstitution.co.uk. Please have a look and feel free to give me feedback. I’ve already had some feedback from a user of the vOICe software who emailed me. It’s always great to get any feedback on a site you’ve created, be it good or bad.
We’ve had the new brief this week; it’s called “Design for Interaction”. I’m still at the research stage of this brief, looking into many different ideas.
Experimenting with input and output devices for computers seems to be the main theme which most people are currently looking into. Pressure pads, buttons and sensors are all very interesting ways of interacting with something but I think I need to focus on what they will be interacting with for this project. There is a lot to consider and Flash seems to be the most obvious software option for interactive design (maybe a bit too obvious?). I hope that next week I will get a chance to speak with some of the tutors and discuss some of the initial ideas I have.
Anyway, enough jibber-jabber, here are some videos I’ve found which are helping me formulate initial ideas:
Human-Joysticks
Drumming Robot
Emotional Robot Head

The future is female conference is in March. I went last year and it was really worthwhile. It's about £10 for a student, and includes networking breakfast and lunch.Theres also a networking event in a bar in town afterwards, but I couldn't make it that last year. You should have a look at them though, most of the events are really useful.
