This document discusses how technology plays a key role in fine arts. It focuses on digital art, Pixar animation, and technology in museums. For Pixar animation, it describes the multi-step process of building a single frame from sketches to rendering. In museums, technology increases audience participation through digital catalogs, augmented reality applications, and mobile phone apps.
The iPad is 40 years old copy
The document summarizes 40 years of developments in human-computer interaction and graphical user interfaces, beginning with Douglas Engelbart's "Mother of All Demos" in 1968. This presentation introduced concepts like the computer mouse, windows, hyperlinks, and video conferencing. Important developments that followed include Alan Kay's Dynabook concept, the Xerox Alto and PARC research, Apple's Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, and mobile touchscreen devices like the iPhone and iPad. The document traces the evolution of graphical UIs from 1968 to 2010.
Initial Project Presentation
First presentation of my final project idea for the Masters in Interactive Media at University of Limerick, Ireland. Presents motivation, theories researched, similar projects, technology overview
Aesthetics of the artificial
Vera Molnar considered the computer to have four artistic purposes: 1) widening the possibilities of artistic production, 2) aiding artistic production, 3) forcing new ways of thinking about art, and 4) measuring audience reception, perhaps most interestingly. The document discusses how electronic art has become too focused on technology alone rather than relating it to everyday life. Exceptions include works that use electronic systems rather than standalone objects, such as the work of Roy Ascott. The document also lists several artists and their approaches to production, presentation, distribution, and engagement with technology in art.
Techniques for social beaviour simulation in virtual cities
This document discusses techniques for social behavior simulation in virtual cities. It describes motivations for populating virtual environments with communities to simulate daily city life. It outlines challenges like active user interaction, simulating complex societies, and balancing credibility with performance. It then presents solutions like using road networks to guide navigation, randomizing animations for diversity while maintaining efficiency, combining animations to trigger events, and using task systems and social roles to determine behaviors. The conclusions discuss using these techniques to disseminate cultural heritage through virtual reconstructions and improve user experiences with interactive environments.

Efficient Voice Information Services for Developing Countries
The document describes a project to develop text-to-speech services in local languages for developing countries. It focuses on creating a banana information service in Kiswahili for farmers in Kenya. Usability testing with 10 farmers found that 90% found the system easy to use and 100% said they would use it over other information sources. However, the average error rate during testing was 36%.
Efficient Voice Information Services for Developing Countries

Research #1
This document discusses the concept of data performativity in machinic art. It explores how networked data and computer technologies can be used to create digital artworks that perform in a generative and continuous process. The document examines ideas of "liveness" in these artworks and how control systems like filtering, APIs and databases can facilitate or hinder the experience of liveness. It proposes studying data flows through the lens of cybernetics and control theory. The research aims to better define the emerging field of data art, particularly data machinic art, and contribute knowledge to fields like aesthetics, performance and media art.

Tele immersion
Tele-immersion is an advanced form of virtual reality that allows users in different locations to interact in real-time within a shared simulated environment. It uses "tele-cubicles" equipped with screens, sensors, and cameras that are linked together to form a larger shared space. Applications of tele-immersion include uses in medicine, education, military training, and industrial design by enabling collaboration over long distances. As bandwidth and display technologies improve over time, tele-immersion may become commonplace and replace much business travel by allowing distant colleagues to meet virtually within a shared simulated workspace.

Avatar
This document summarizes Sara Barbieri's final dissertation in Sociology of Work, Organization and Information Systems. It examines the organization of a new 3D virtual reality museum exhibition called AVATAR that was launched in 2009. Barbieri followed the curator and other staff for seven months as they designed, built, and tested the virtual worlds and interactive stations that made up the exhibition. Her research analyzed how the various elements, from technology to exhibits to staff, came together through collaborative problem-solving to transform the initial project idea into a functioning museum exhibition. She used ethnographic and actor-network theory approaches to document the daily activities and solutions that bridged heterogeneous components into a cohesive new expositional format.
Tech2002lecweekthree0809
This document discusses concepts related to new media, visual culture, and Web 2.0. It recaps ideas from previous weeks such as how digital media extends social life by overcoming limitations of time and space. New media technologies like virtual worlds and social networks allow for experiences of simulated reality and performative identity. The document also discusses theorists like Benjamin and Baudrillard who analyzed how mechanical and digital reproduction technologies shifted visual culture away from authenticity toward simulation and the hyperreal.
Virtual Worlds
A virtual world is a simulated online environment where users interact through avatars. While some virtual worlds are like video games, others allow for open-ended user creation and social interaction. The document discusses how virtual worlds could be empty spaces for users to collaboratively build and populate. Examples are given of educational, cultural, and business uses of virtual worlds that provide immersive experiences and connections to real-world information systems through avatars. The document advocates developing content and experiences across multiple online platforms including virtual worlds, to engage communities of interested users.
Digital Stages Queen Mary University of London 2011
This document summarizes research on using mobile devices and wearable technology for networked performance. It discusses projects that used mobile phones to engage participants throughout cities. The research was inspired by participatory performance art, mobile video art, and installations that used biosensing and responsive video. The researcher developed prototypes that embedded sensors into garments to identify emotional states. Workshops were held where participants created and shared mobile videos. The goal was to understand how technology could enhance sensations of liveness, presence, and experience in participatory performance. Networks were explored to allow mobile and wearable devices to express affect non-verbally and share video globally.
Virtual environments in design education
Virtual reality allows users to experience simulated environments, either similar to the real world or imaginary worlds, through visual and other sensory feedback. The Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) is an immersive virtual reality system where projectors display 3D images on multiple screens surrounding users. Second Life is an online virtual world where users interact through avatars, explore the virtual world, and create virtual objects and environments. Some real-world projects have been prototyped in collaborative virtual environments like Second Life to allow geographically separated groups to jointly design projects.

This document discusses the evolution of screens and their impact on human embodiment and interaction with space. It argues that screens started as a way to access utopian ideals but now dominate our identities, communities, and sense of space and time through disembodiment. However, technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality, and sensors are facilitating re-embodiment in digital spaces and a merging of the digital and physical. The document calls for a new "pragmatic idealism" to thoughtfully guide innovations so technology empowers people while protecting environments.

AudioCubes: a Distributed Cube Tangible Interface based on Interaction Range ...
AudioCubes is a novel tangible user interface allowing any person interested by sound design such as sound creators, and music trainers to intuitively explore and create dynamically changing sound. A new sound is created by manipulating distributed cube tangible user interface that can be coupled wirelessly by locating them in the interaction range of each other on a table. At any time, a sound processing network combines operational properties of AudioCubes, such as location on a plane or in space, movement, arrangement with other cubes, and layout. Sound algorithm parameters and the configuration of the sound processing network can be changed simultaneously, allowing a fast and convenient exploration of sound creation space that creates a new interaction technique for creating sounds.

This document summarizes key points from Bill Moggridge's book about designing multisensory and multimedia interactions. It discusses the work of several interaction designers including Hiroshi Ishii who developed tangible user interfaces that blend the physical and digital worlds. Durrell Bishop emphasized making digital objects self-evident like physical objects. Joy Mountford helped develop QuickTime and add video and sound to computers. Bill Gaver studied sound perception and developed auditory icons. The document also describes several prototypes like Ishii's Music Bottles, Bishop's Marble Answering Machine, and Gaver's History Tablecloth that sensor weight over time.
Multisensory and multimedia
This document summarizes key points from Bill Moggridge's book about designing multisensory and multimedia interactions. It discusses the work of several interaction designers who explored integrating the five senses and multimedia like video into computing. Hiroshi Ishii discussed tangible user interfaces that make digital information graspable. Durrell Bishop emphasized making digital objects' functions self-evident like physical objects. Joy Mountford helped develop QuickTime and add video to PCs. Bill Gaver studied sound perception and designed prototypes like the History Tablecloth and Key Table to integrate digital information into everyday objects.
