WEEK8-MAIN PROJECT

From now on ,we are going to prepare the main project which will standing in next few month.Now I just jump in different brief and try to focus on one of them.Finally,i decide to choose"LOCAL APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES".
The service basic in a residence building.I want contribute a system to rebuild the relationship between neighbor.
here is a demo about the previous work.
SADI(Samsung Art and Design Institute)Product Design students processed interaction design project using RFIDtechnology. you can see how this tech helps to make people communicate each other. The main concept is bulletin board which has neighbor's story. it is set entrance of apartment and even gives people light. When people attach the tag, they are able to hear their neibhor's story



what I need to express in my idea is to clear the living situation around you.it has a very common phenomenon that the person who lived in a apartment don't know who is his neighbor.As a Chinese proverb, A near friend is better than a far-dwelling kinsman.this system will help you to get specific information about the people lived in same building.I figure out these three points for the possible area to consider for further design.
information-who(people to people),behavior-how(people to reality environment),interaction-where(combine three aspects).
Different public space(reality&virtual) for people to share the story.
For instance...

WEEK6-INTERACTIONS OF TRANSACTIONS

WHAT I DO
RFID ticket will going to use in OSLO someday.We prepare for that moment and imagine the card just like this.It can replace the flexi-card w
hich popular in nowadays. User can buy and charge it in ticket machine.
Before to go detail,we analysis the situation to use paper ticket in three scenarios,respective like a 10years old boy go to his music class ,a middle-age man on his way to work,and an old lady visit the concert in the downtown. we find out person like kid and senior who use the flexi-card are more care about the time limit and rides. if the boy's mom forgot to charge enough rides or the old lady miss the bus and protract the waiting time,they also need a extra security to avoid unexpected thing happen.so we make a two more extra rides in Mosse Card user like credit.Put your card in the inductive area ,there will show your profile which contain your recent charge and last buy info.That is a shortcut to make the process fast.
Outdoor machine is simple ticket system for people just want to buy the single ticket and charge their card.

WEEK5-THE CONSCIENTIOUS CONSUMER

WHAT I DO
This week, we are suppose to make a mobile service f
or consumer when they go shopping. As a foreigner, Although I already live here in few month ,it still have some problem when I go supermarket to buy normal stuff. Due to the different culture background,to distinguish the strange thing in the container usually is a big challenge for me.
so, our project called TRANS-FREE,which help people to have good experience when they go shopping in exotic store, may be the short time tourists or exchange students,or just someone want to try new taste.It start at a global group which collect the food information all over the world, then put that data into Internet to afford shop owner download.when they get that info,they can make their own tag which contain food information for special item in the store.
For the customer ,they will find the TRANS-FREE
program in www.transfree.com and download to their mobile phone. They go to the store which has TRANS-FREE tag on the door, touch the tag with phone,then they will get the access to share the information related. like basic taste,price relations,similar stuff in your country,the phone will shaking when it find out things which you dislike.you even can get further info by search function that directly connect with Wikipedia.com
