Statement
The project explore the possibilities for listener to find and select music by relative gadgets and interactive tools.

The project report

5 Discussion

The gadgets of listener
In working through the whole design process, there are several points make
me rethink in further design.

First, for the concept itself, the different way in music finding and selecting
send the value to inspire the data arrange in web service. And the interactive
tools which afford user a playful sense to explore the favorite collection,
those detail experience is better than just click the “add to playlist” button as
regular. In further work, I may keep these small particular parts.

Second, stand for social perspective, all those gadgets sharing the music
popularity data which input by other online users. But in the project demonstration,
some of sharing process is hiding behind, only the friends&music
gadget set out a simple example that perform how user get music through
friends listening trace. For the next picture, I will put more attention to build
the bridge in social communicate between users.

Third, the layout of visualization in this project now looks very orderly which
is easy for user to focus on the creative shift in some way. But here still need
to think about some other directions that not limited in just square window
and laying the album pattern in line.

In conclusion, during this project, I thought it is hard to bring the first impression
idea to the final demonstration. The balance between the core parts
which is framed a social space for urort user and the creative concept that is
marched the need to attract more listeners for urort web site are not easy to
harmonize. However, as an attempt of solid solution in further, this work still
has some redeeming feature for reference. And I believe the interesting and
engaging points is valuable in developing phase.

MAIN TAST 1-URØRT MUSIC WEB 4

Paper prototype
I have to say that is a effectual tool to work in process. Compare last week,i made some change in this new prototype model.since the middle field will be present a interactive ground for music display and select,except the Events and Scene tool.the initial idea of friend& music is distributing like a net,friends link to music or music link to friends,but here i will keep the music first principle. All recent music will appear ,when you choose one of the friend image, those music in his play list will come forward and rest will fade into back ground.

Diagram
Here is the connection diagram of each tools,i try to define how the function transferring between each other.
for example,my tag relative the friends&music,events and location.when you see your friends music pool,all those music in your tag list will being preferred,same as the events and location tool.

thought 2
Interested me- is a events calendar, which recommend the relevant events at weekend and specific time for user
we are same-Present all information inside a map, the user can find the same interest points from people which live nearby.

After observation for the UrØrt website, i choose MY site as my main part to focus on, design for the listener's perspective and give them the flexible options to play with.

MAIN TAST 1-URØRT MUSIC WEB

thought 1
Emotion FM- for search music
people can adjust the channel which define by different mood
My Tag- for feed music
user can made the their own tag bubble by drag from the tag pool,all the relative songs will collect automatically.the new update will shows by color.
Friend Net-for search music/social communicate
a visible net which shows the connection between music and online users

MAIN TAST 1-URØRT MUSIC WEB

For this assignment, i want to focus on the listeners participate,due to the language problem,it is so hard for me to find out how many content here.after register as a user,i guess most of functions are contribute for the person or band who want to show their music,for example the blog,i cannot see it has the benefit for the listeners.

Conecpet relevance-task3

Test 1
After discussed with my friend,i got some feedback about the foodofriend service.the user who i asked is Li, a girl study in AHO.She thought that is quite interest concept to share the recipes with friends.it is different from the traditional recipe book or search specific recipe from Internet,here you will get the recommendation from your friends and they may remember your special taste and keep a lookout for you.In other word,it is similar like the RSS -let the news come to you.
She also gave some comments for this service,like the 'kitchen club' invitation from the group member that they can sharing the real food together; people can mark the nice food stores/restaurants in the map for a part of recommendation in the social sharing service.

Test2
Neven is my neighbor, every time i met him is in our kitchen ,he knows how to make pizza,cake and always share them with us. A kindness kitchen guy.
It takes a little bit time to explain foodofriend to him, After the introduction,he said he will join this system if it includes the economic consideration.like even the recipe looks wonderful but it costs lot, he will not going to try that.
he don't understand how to access the recipe service from the mobile phone .
comments:
-put the step by step pictures of cooking process.
-health / specical request( vegetarian) category
-preference from your friend who may match your teast better

This is fake-task 2

Go through the paper prototype last week, we found it is a quite big service in our concept,especially the fridge technical support which is hard to explain for the user in first glance.so we decide to simplify this process.

The statement:
A social web based community for sharing food recipes with your best friends. Now with mobile phone support!
For the evidencing test, we focus on the connect between website and phone,but still the social communicate is quite weak,even the recipe sharing is not that acceptable as our expect...

Rich social media -Task 1

New semester new course in last week.
TASK1
Combining the Polite, pertinent, and... Pretty,I did some analysis with HABBO website. In the first impression,the web is full of playful factors.Compared with other chating webpage,here you could see the people in a visible social environment ,how the behaviour they showed, like walking close to the target person, talking with the one with attracitive apperance.they try to bring a new experience for user to join this virtual world.

WEEK20-TEST

Time Test


Floor Test

WEEK20-EVIDENCE

As i mentioned before, people will get the message reminder when they start using the card to open the main entrance.
Here will blink the red light to show you get the message today.

For the software support, I thought to try the widget instead of website.because it will stick more users to care and check the info at any moment.The widget adhere to some successful web operator like YAHOO widget.people can download it and install in their own computer.if the building's WiFi system has been set up,this widget should connect with current data which include the pollution and waste of this building and it also has the function to sent and check message like a simple email system.

WEEK19-SCREEN FOCUS

For the pattern now, it divide into two parts which you can see from the core of the cells.The thin dot means a person.and the round dot mean a family or one apartment.

Here is a diagram to show how the elements which effect the emotion of building connect each other.From the right side the energy which include the water and electricity,the surrounding that evaluated by air pollution and noisy volume, the house value and People's activity by send message.

I try to display those elements in the screen,the top stand for energy flow.and the bottom shows both air and noisy pollution.when it is in really tough situation such as waste lots of water ,made impossible noise pollution,the space of massage part will be push in the central.It will limit people to sent message,and force them to care about the building.


These are 3 persona which help me to design the specific status for the common neighbors.
1For the elder maybe just few public message,and he may care much about the environment.
2The new-married couple have been given lots of greets from their friendly neighbors.they are quite happy that the value of the house are growing.
3Party girls normally make noise and they have no sense about the effect that they did for their neighbors.now they are going to know.

WEEK18-WORKSHOP WITH Jack Schultze & Matt Webb

The first three days of this week,we got a very useful opinion from Jack Schultze & Matt Webb , that shows us how to connect design concept with market experience. Due to I already spend lots of energy to figure out the information patterns. It was a tough issue for me to switch the purpose suddenly.but I know my work indeed need that support to be a rounded design.
To reach the aim of this workshop, I re-considered whole work.finally I decide to fade the website to a simple input and pop out the "emotion" as my central point .eg. the mood of the dweller, also include the potential effect which not just communicate between people to people, it can be the value of the house/water and electric flow...I want to change the normal number to a emotion way to force people's behavior and let them to care the affect that did by themself.

My statement is Show the emotion of building by people’s activity, make people to share and care with the common living environment.

5 Experience hooks

WEEK17 SCREEN DISPLAY

Default screen which show all the message activity in the whole building.
It will change to individual display by touching the personal card.The vertical line means time line,the newest info alway come from the right side.The horizontal line means location that shows which room/floor send out the message. According to the movement about the message.the emotion bar will show probable mood for the whole building or individual. The number shows how many message the user get during a specifically time.

WEEK17- PATTERN

As i thought, it is hard to transfer the specific information to pattern.To focus the function that pattern showed, i divide each cell into two part,the core part which stand for the specific person or family,it is like your personal sign will come out when you registering.and the outside of the cell which show the information item.such as the size will control by the content(how much words you write),the light line means that is a voice message,the wide line means that is a image message and so on.

WEEK17-NEW WEB INTERFACE

Looks like Element Periodic Table ; - )
