Last monday we were at Delft Station collecting some footage for our coming movie. The weather was terrible – nothing like Hollywood where the sun always shines. For those who have seen the storyboard… This is what is going to look like…

For now you’ll have use your imagination. We are working hard to transform these images into something exciting. Furthermore, you can expect some product evaluations soon.

Graffiti
Making graffiti with a laserpen, just your eyes or on a smartphone.
This piece of art is then viewable on your smartphone in 3D!
All art is send to a database so that everyone can view your tag and visa versa.

It may sound strange, but check it out with this link.

Pimping old boring buildings
This is an interactive projection on buildings were everyone stroling by can join in. There are 3 different types of interaction: body interaction were you stand in front of a screen, hand interaction were you move your hand above a light table and phone interaction with the tracking of waving phones. That input was then used to manipulate 6 different scenes.

Just watch the video and you’ll know why this is a very impressive project.

Storyboard

mediacrossroad — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 10:47:45 +0000

The concept has reached the level of detail that we want to present. We imagine that anyone interested is waiting for the video now.

Well, you have to wait a little longer, but in the mean time have a look at this storyboard. It’s our guideline to make the video. It is written in Dutch, because it’s our guideline. Sorry for that.

Aim of the video:
• Sell the product, ‘Express Art’
• Make credible that the concept works
• Convince the principal

Composition:
First part: Explain the concept
• explain the situation,
• go into details of how it will be implemented.
Second part: Make credible that the concept Works
• Show how it may/should be used,
• who the users are,
• what moves them to cooperate.

Good start of 2010…

First of all we wish you all the best for 2010. Ofcourse we made progress in the project and here are some results.

During the holidays (with our family) we have tested a couple of parts of our project. Here are some photo’s of how users would like to see the interface and drawings they made.

With this test we can see how the interface would look like if we put the user in charge. This test will lead us to the final interface.

We have also ask (the same) people to draw on some squares. This is the result:

On the left is show the back screen with a primary-drawing of a lovely flower. On the right is the screen show when a couple of the parts of the flower are individualy colored by different people on differnt moments. The lowest picture is the flower fully colered.

This will be one of the variations on the “Express Art”.
