The artistic aim of the Walking the Edit project is to enable the creation of unique and individual movies by anybody, based on already existing audio-visual material and... a walk.
Stories of-from-about-with the territory: the practice of “walking of a movie” is an open and playful way of interacting with the audiovisual memory of our surrounding environment and everyday life. By mixing our immediate reality with feeds and data coming from the digital space (the mobile internet), we create a so-called “augmented reality”. The project “Walking the Edit” opens an alternative path to this hybrid territory, by reducing the growing data-worlds into a single linear, time based construction: a story. One story out of many potential others: the past of the place you are interacting with is (re)combining itself to deliver a new, contextual and unique story that belongs to your present.
Virtual Reality, a simulated environment in three dimensions, is not new but emerging technologies and companies like Facebook and Microsoft have recently pushed it back into the spotlight. There is a huge future in VR and meaningful experiences are being developed for it. In this webinar,
~ Discover what Virtual Reality is and gain a brief historical summary of it
~ Understand how VR will change everything ranging from gaming to education
~ Learn about the various products coming out in 2015
~ See how libraries and makerspaces are making use of VR

Throughout the history of computers we've been striving to shorten the gap between us and digital information, the gap between our physical world and the world in the screen where our imagination can go wild. And this gap has become shorter, shorter, and even shorter, and now this gap is shortened down to less than a millimeter, the thickness of a touch-screen glass, and the power of computing has become accessible to everyone.
But I wondered, what if there could be no boundary at all? I started to imagine what this would look like. First, I introduce this tool in below which penetrates into the digital space, so when you press it hard on the screen, it transfers its physical body into pixels. Designers can materialize their ideas directly in 3D, and surgeons can practice on virtual organs underneath the screen. So with this tool, this boundary has been broken.
Beyond – Collapsible Tools and Gestures for Computational Design
Since the invention of the personal computer, digital media has remained separate from the physical world, blocked by a rigid screen. We present Beyond, an interface for 3-D design where users can directly manipulate digital media with physically retractable tools and hand gestures. When pushed onto the screen, these tools physically collapse and project themselves onto the screen, letting users perceive as if they were inserting the tools into the digital space beyond the screen. The aim of Beyond is to make the digital 3-D design process straightforward, and more accessible to general users by extending physical affordances to the digital space beyond the computer screen.

ZeroN: Mid-Air Tangible Interaction Enabled by Computer Controlled Magnetic Levitation:
ZeroN, a new tangible interface element that can be levitated and moved freely by computer in a three dimensional space. ZeroN serves as a tangible representation of a 3D coordinate of the virtual world through which users can see, feel, and control computation. To accomplish this we developed a magnetic control system that can levitate and actuate a permanent magnet in a predefined 3D volume. This is combined with an optical tracking and display system that projects images on the levitating object. We present applications that explore this new interaction modality. Users are invited to place or move the ZeroN object just as they can place objects on surfaces. For example, users can place the sun above physical objects to cast digital shadows, or place a planet that will

Computer graphics is responsible for displaying art and image data effectively and beautifully to the user, and processing image data received from the physical world. The interaction and understanding of computers and interpretation of data has been made easier because of computer graphics. It have had a profound impact on many types of media and have revolutionized animation, movies and the video game industry.
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of computer graphics to create or contribute to images in art, printed media, video games, films, television programs, commercials, videos, and simulators. The visual scenes may be dynamic or static, and may be two-dimensional (2D), though the term "CGI" is most commonly used to refer to 3D computer graphics used for creating scenes or special effects in films and television.
Video games most often use real-time computer graphics (rarely referred to as CGI), but may also include pre-rendered "cut scenes" and intro movies that would be typical CGI applications.

This portfolio showcases a variety of skills and experience gained throughout my schooling in the BAA Interior Design program at Humber Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning.
Technological advances have allowed, in the last few years, a big step forward in the dynamic behaviors and interactions patterns that we used to do on the web, in the past. Starting from understanding the rules of motion design and how people interact with it during the processes of interaction we'll discover through practical insights and examples what is "under the hood" and how to prototype and develop all this design patterns with a more integrated and efficient design to code workflow.

You are probably asking yourself: “As a UX designer, can I actually change the world?” Not by yourself – but you can make a positive contribution. The prerequisite is the interdisciplinary cooperation of specialists in operational ergonomics, product designers, developers, and some others. Find out the influence of technologies on our society, how we reduce reservations thanks to human-centred design, and how we use our tools optimally in the “Digital Designer” college to obtain a relationship between human beings and technology that has real added value. Let’s go!
Animation can explain behaviours better than thousand of words that’s why interaction designer should learn from motion designer.
Technological advances have allowed, in the last few years, a big step forward in the dynamic behaviors and interactions patterns that we used to do with software in the past. Motion is one of the key element of this change but how can we imagine & sketch the way something feels & reacts? Starting from the basic of motion design, we’ll discover a set of “standard” motion patterns and how we can sketch & use them in a design project to increase affordance, to simplify complex interactions and to give a new dynamic brand identity to our products.

Interactive navigation inside the brain
This interactive visualization is designed for a neurosurgeon in the operating room.
The viewer can navigate the virtual brain in any direction using head movements
regardless of the orientation of the original slices of the MRI.
A web browser allows 3D navigation inside a brain using a cloud of voxels, or pixels located in space. Since the imag-
es of the brain are displayed in space, they can be visited from many angles, including new angles that could not be
viewed in the original pictures.

“We credit our success to the high-quality and excellent performance of the virtual reality simulator
and street intersection scenarios that you built.
The virtual reality simulator and street intersection scenarios have the high visual resolution, wide
field of view and high contrast we need. The car and pedestrian traffic is very smooth and traffic
rules are strictly followed.
The street intersections are true 3D models, which allow us to set up a wide range of street
crossing scenarios by moving the virtual cameras around.
This is a very powerful research tool, an envy of many of my fellow researchers.”

14. In the case of Crosswalk, the simulator is designed to be operated by anyone.
It has a visual user interface, a menu, which allows to make choices and to
change the parameters of the scene. It can save a user profile in order to
repeat a session. The maintenance was done remotely.
We designed a robust system that does not break during long sessions with
many different users. We designed a custom built single PC with several
video cards that could manage all the screens and the sound. This was
created in order to cut latency and to improve the overall speed of the whole
system. In other words, we were interested in the speed of the whole system
from the point of view of the viewer’s eyes and ears. This may be much slower
than the speed of the hardware because of long wiring, the refresh speed of
the video projector, the location of speakers in the room.
We chose a system that allowed to develop one version of the content that
could be used on various media: web browser/tablet based application, in
addition to the simulator.

The display is a very important part of the viewers experience of an
installation. Crosswalk uses an immersive 3 screens display technology
that allows seamless visuals between the screens. This is an important
element of suspension of disbelief for the viewer or the user.
The visuals on the 3 screens are captured by a node of three virtual
cameras located inside the virtual world. The virtual cameras are centered
on the user standing inside the physical space. The main innovation has
been to achieve a 15 ms synchronization between moving images of the
cars and the moving sound nodes attached to the engines of the cars.
Top view of the installation showing the projectors and the screen. This display
will provide a front and peripheral vision which are accurate for the viewer.
15. This ongoing project offers an interactive experience of a car(s) connected to pedestrians and the
space around them. What about a connected car that reacts to people and to its environment?
The goal of the installation is to present a digital road and a connected car that send messages
and display information when pedestrians are in the vicinity of the
car. The surface of the road and some of the car body panels display real time visual
communication between pedestrians and the connected vehicle.
Interactive installation for connected cars
The connected car project is an interactive installation showing a car that reacts to the presence
of pedestrians. The connected car and the visitors of the installation are
on top of a digital floor that reacts in real time with visuals and sounds when they walk towards
the car.

Museum, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, 2013
Based on the concept of the 3D storyboard, I created this example of one-on-one
interaction between a viewer and a virtual world projected on the screen. Using
motion capture, the actor holds a sphere that tracks the right hand. This technique
is useful in expressing the interaction and the ‘look and feel’ of touching virtual
objects.

Motion capture performance allows animators to create scenes from a story.
Animators can map a three-dimensional scene of a story inside the motion
capture volume. This offers the possibility for the study of the interactions
between actors, animated characters and the elements of a scene.

“He understands better than many theoreticians, I think, the imaginary dimensions
of actual space and, at the same time, the practial implications and responsibilities
of virtual space.”
“Jean-Marc’s analysis helped me ask myself some old questions in new ways:
on optics and mental process which are so often used as metaphors for each
other, on how cinemas’s mode of articulation- camera, movement, framing,
editing - informs us about viewing habits generally, and about how those may be
subverted.”
