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.

WEEK15-NEIGHBORHOOD SPACE RESEARCH

User needs
The following are the aspects of neighborhood space that people think influence their use of neighborhood space:
-People one wants to do an activity with or without
-Settings for the activity one wants to do
-Relatedness though interaction with the natural environment
-Safety
-Aesthetic appeal
-Convenience
-Psychological comfort
-Physical comfort
-Symbolic ownership
-Policy on use
-Cost

These reference which I got from the book named"Neighborhood space".although they are mentioned for space design , i think there are also some useful points to help me care more about how to set my screen in that apartment space.I agree that to built the screen should consider the people's activity.
For instance,
how to get people's attention but not occupy much time to stick people in a flow space?
which height is adapt for children,elders,adult?
Should it resting when nobody has activity there?

Quickies

Quite cool project about notes display with rfid tag.

WEEK15-RESEARCH

Today i spend some time on searching the useful information for my neighbor service project.then i found some interesting links.RottenNeighbor
This website is to help people be aware of bad neighbors before they relocate.here you can find important neighborhood information by searching the site's user-provided data.Inballard.com was a way to showcase the best places to drink, eat, shop, live and go in Ballard. Places on the site have been spotted by the local Ballard staff and/or submitted by viewers.

WEEK15-KEEP GOING

According to the feedback of the paper prototyping,I did small research on the part of how people present themselves.i picked some pictures from chat tool like MSN.SKYPE and web server like FLICKER.and i found the display picture are depend on the length of time which stick people to stay in that service.the personal photo are popular for people to show their personality. Then i got inspections from cell pattern.The newest messages will have actions when they born.Along with the time past,those messages will become smaller and keep standing in the screen. when people who touch their personal card to get information there,the unaccessible items will automatically fade into the background.For the movement test,i did some random emotion line which help me to make action to the cell bubble.
