Assignment 3 #Phase 1

1.It’s time for Singlish

It is a social mobile application based in Singapore.

This mobile application allows people to share memes pictures. People can upload their own photos and edit or adding caption on the pics. What they want to share could be static image, simple gif or pics embed audio. However, users can only use Singlish for the funny caption and audio. It would be a great platform for locals to have more funs for usual and also for foreigner to get more engagement in Singlish culture.

2.Lost in two-dimensional

It is a game developed for mobile phone and tablet.

This is also a puzzle game with a very unique visual style in isometric view. It’s inspired by a award wining game called Monument Valley which is a faceless and voiceless character named Princess Ida leads users through a series of architectural mazes on a quest for forgiveness. For my game, character is lost in the optical illusions room and have to find out a way to exit.

3.Dancing machine 

It is a interactive performance.

The performance will invite a street jazz dancer to complete. There will be a motion tracking device to track the freestyle dance moves of dancer, after that it will generate pop musics. It will also control the color and brightness of lights around the dancer. This performance is kind of breaking down the rules of dancing according to music but dancing make music.

4.No dyeing cap

It is a design changeable cap that only need to control with handphone app.

5.Competition in social experiment

It is a documentary film about a competition in social experiment.

There will be 3 participants from different socioeconomic classes and they must be 12 years old because that is the period they start being aware of their own identities and it is their transition period to teenagers. They will be given 100 dollar to spend. Throughout the year, their parents might give them extra money. This game is to test how they manage the use of money. At the end of the year, who can make the money for a good cause.

One thought on “Assignment 3 #Phase 1

  1. hi Danning,
    i don’t think i saw all of these ideas previously in class!? (they seem to be posted 14 April…) Many very good ideas, and worked out to some detail, too. I think that #3 and #5 could be combined – both have the core idea of creating a competition-oriented social event. If you want to pursue in this direction there’s much to be done with mobile media in performance/competition, could be an interesting FYP I think.
