User Manual

User Manual: Using the vectors Ibrahim created for the infographic, and adding more to it I created the user journey for the installation. A step by step on how the user should interact with the installation. I experimented with the layout to lead the users eye through the process. That is why in my final…

Final design document.

I had the task of fixing and updating the first three pages of the design document that Kaj had initially design. The list of requirements, the concept design, and the Moscow page. Along with this I added the new graphic language, colour palette and typeface to the headings.  Along with this I was allocated the…

Reflection by Jan

To start of my reflection I would like to say that this is the project that I enjoyed working on the most during my time in this study. During this project I really strived to be as productive and structured as possible , because of this and the entousiasm and passion of my teammates, I…

Sound Design

For our installation we needed 15 audio moodboards, we divided these moodboards among Jan, Cedric, Ibrahim and me. I made audio moodboards for the skatepark, cafe rocks, SBTG/upperside and the performance factory. I had a lot of fun trying to convey the atmosphere of a place by just using sound. It makes you think what…

The plan comes together

While I had been working on the hardware and programming, Jan mostly worked on building the installation. Around the time he was finished i got everything done as well, so it was time to put everything together. Communication from both sides went well, I kept him up to date about where i needed wires and…

Audio hardware en infrarood sensor

To trigger the atraction state i choose to use an infrared sensor (PIR). But since it has the form of a half sphere its able to detect 180 degrees around it, and i want it only to detect in a straight line, otherwise it would detect movement to often, I decided to build a small…

Stand for Installation

I had an idea to show our infographic on a “phone book” to tie in with our theme. Along with this we made a stand for the book. Jan created it the stand. I painted it, and got the logo 3-d printed. Getting the infographic off Ibrahim, changing the background to suit the yellow page…

LED strips

The LED strips we will be using for this project are the WS2801 LED strips. The reason for this is that this is an adressable led strip. Each led in the strip should be adressable seperatey, since every podium on our installation should be able to light up seperately. We bought 2 meters of strip,…

Research On Places

Further research on all the fifteen places. To give people a better sense of location and to allow myself to design for a place, I research each place and wrote a small paragraph on each one which I later used on the website. I researched by going to the location with Jan, when we where…

Technical Progress

During sprint 3 I mainly focussed on getting the sensors and LEDs to work. Getting the sensors to work took a while but it works fine now. Like I said in previous post we are able to make 16 states with 4 LDRs. First I needed to be able to read the values of the…
