WEEK38-ScreenSaver

WHAT I DO(Ingeborg,Jørn&me)
We want to show the nature live process.Maybe something li
ke plant named moss, they born ,grow up and died.
The point of our idea is make the screen looks like the ground ,when you don't work with the computer in long time,the moss will grow from every side of the screen. When they met each other get three,then they will born a new one or when they moved more than four together ,one will died.

Image of the idea


I did some small change of the code.Now it looks bubble rise in water.

WEEK35-Macro Perspective

WHAT I LEARN
Sociology Lecture---Our Society are composed by many elements, education, religion,family...and so on.Due to the generation gap of different age,distance of inhabitation and TV effect ,the interrelation among people are changed.but as a society technology,mobile phone bring the social group together.people can join different group to talk different topic and play the role correspond in that environment.

WHAT I DO
Alterable language input---To adjust language otherness in status change(Ingrid,Natacha&me)
People need to transformed their status when they join different group,You can not talk your mom ,close friends or someone not familiar with same tone even words when you wrote SMS .but if you want to play well in every circle,same locution is an important factor.so we think about something like a dictionary which can balance the differ in
detail or some diction suggestion when you input the letters in mobile phone.

WEEK35-Lecture day

So many words crash into my mind...

1 Quality&Quantity
Different between number and word,Quality tend to motion and feeling, such as why? how?...Quantity think a lot of rule or logic.such as how many? account...
Type of qualitative method existed
observation/ interview/ focus group/ document analyze/ user testing

2 kommunikasjonbyrå= communication division (i guess)
It is better to stand another direction to realized the sense of target (changed perspectives)

3 User Centered Design at Netlife Research

4 Decisive Situations
The use of natural observation in the study of mobile communication



WEEK34-Paperprototying

As a Chinese , my way of thinking are usually irregularly and emanative.but west mind are more systemic like structure tree which continued step by step.I can think about many ideas but lack the ability to make idea deeply :-(

WHAT I LEARN

Paper prototyping --- "Paper prototyping is a variation of usability testing where representative users perform realistic tasks by interacting with a paper version of the interface that is manipulated by a person ‘playing computer,’ who doesn’t explain how the interface is intended to work."
http://www.paperprototyping.com/what.html

WHAT I DO
Coffee machine---vision experience (Anders,Peder&me)

I never use coffee machine before,that is a bit hard for me.In my opinion,maybe to show how is the machine work is good point to satisfy people's curious. You can see how much beans added and choose as much as sugar by your habit. It gives user trusty sense for machine made.




WEEK34-Lightbulb

My first week in AHO.It is more harder than i expected before. Someone asked me why choose Norway, i said because there are free for study and more important that i need an experience which fill of challenge.
Most Chinese not be good at expression not only poor English but also we used to put that process in our mind and condensed them maybe one sentence. Sometimes it just like feel by sense and not explain in words.I like to hear others excited comments
:-)



WHAT I LEARN
INTERACTION ---The communicate between human and machine, Care about detail,sensitive and experience. It is a balance among useful, desirable and usable.

WHAT I DO
Light bulb ---The more you give the more you get (Martin &me)

It focus on the behavior of user controlling the light,water like a mutative switch,more water more light,if the water dry there is no light.You can imagine the bulb to a life which need to care. and it will gives you feedback if you pay attention to it.
