I found the overall experience of the interview fascinating as I am able to see the people behind the characters from Second Front. I enjoyed the interview as the interviewee of the panels were in different places of the world. It was like looking at a representative of each country getting interviewed by Randall. As we know that Second Front… Read more →
Posted by Songyu Bao on Tuesday, 24 October 2017 We did a run for this project rehearsal. We focus on the technical aspect of handling our phones as well as the flow of our content. During our meeting, we decided to use a few different concepts to broadcast. One of the most tricky parts was the passing of the phones… Read more →
After reading the interview for SECONDFRONT, I totally agree with MAN MICHINAGA view’s on the performance he did with the group. He mentioned that Second Front gave him the opportunity to perform tasks that cannot be done in the physical world. I could relate to that as it is quite often many people escapes to this third ‘room’ located in their computer to… Read more →
sch assignment Posted by Songyu Bao on Tuesday, 17 October 2017 Posted by Songyu Bao on Thursday, 12 October 2017 After doing two live broadcasting using co-broadcasting function, I felt that it can be used for interactions amongst a pair. However, I think in a group of four, it is very hard to achieve a smooth communication amongst all four… Read more →
For the prototype, there was too much friction in the linkage system for lifting the muff covers. For the next design, the motors lift the muff covers directly using the motor instead of using a linkage system. This is to decrease the friction and complex calculations needed to create the linkage system. I tested it with other people wearing it… Read more →
After reading more about what Jennicam is, I could associate more with the lesson on ‘give up your data’. In Jennicam, Jennifer Ringley broadcast almost all of her private life worldwide. Jenni has a very different mentality with comparison to her friends. The main reason is that she doesn’t mind being watch. Put it in other terms, it also means that… Read more →
Overview For this update, I will be addressing more about the results I have from the first prototype. There are many findings which may alter the design and the functionality of the final outcome of the project. I did not start with a sketch and went into the project head on by modelling the wearable. 3D Modelling I created a… Read more →
The construction of this set up took almost a day to complete. It was extremely tedious and I used close to 200 cable ties and 55 springs. The above is just the first plate with 2 springs and 3 cable ties. The first 5 plates were pretty easy but when it goes above 5, the set up starts to… Read more →
The code was relatively easy to understand and I got it from adafruit. One of the major problems I face is the sensitivity of the sensor. It took me 5 hours just to get it to work. I didn’t know that I should let to ‘rest’ for 30 seconds to 1 minute before trying to trigger it. After testing to… Read more →
With help from Zifeng, I manage to print the 24cm x 11cm part with white filament. He wore it for me and I found it quite fitting. I tried it on too and found that it is a good starting point as I finally have a physical reference to… Read more →
