The information held on this blog is relevant to The Design for Interactive Media (DFIM) at UWIC. There has been another project running along side the DFIM course, called elements, which has taken dramatic transformation through out this academic year. With all the DFIM course work out the way I’m now going to hopefully do a bit of magic and produce something quite unique. In light of the DFIM

Venue’s based in London known for hosting large social networking events, like the institute of contemporary arts and the business design centre have previously hosted some large creative new media conferences. Creativelondon.org.uk has a large directory of projects (http://www.creativelondon.org.uk/server.php?show=nav.009008) which seem to be based around the idea of showing work and networking.

We were recently asked to visit some banks and retrieve information relevant to opening a business after university. I have retrieved information in this area in the past and come to relise the only reason a business would be needed was to employ someone else. Other than that I can declare my self employed and declare tax plus get a part time job. However this suits my personal needs. I skipped

Ha, ambition!I attempted to produce a WPF ad for this brief, however with time restrictions it was not possible to be achieved. The WPF platform is still in use for my final project at university.Asking PeopleBefore proceeding to produce a visual for this brief, a simple questionnaire was presented to 10 individuals within the age group of 14 to15.

Dragon studios known as Valley Wood, is £330m pound project to construct a film studio which can be found at Llanilid, Rhondda Cynon Taf. The complex will create more than 1,700 jobs.

What a strange month for the beginning of 2007. Relating to professional development, I’m noticing a high increase in development skills and a low increase in academic achievements. Back at UWIC, academics are at the up most as expected it’s a university after all. I really need to find out how to swing this research paper my way, its not going to look good if I don’t. The question that keeps

This is the document for the Production Processes Brief (ADM304). The objective of this document is to compare gathered information from Industry with academic theory with a personal note. Towards the end of this document I will add some thoughts on how methods can be adopted, and used within in real world projects. We are required to read England & Finney, Managing Multimedia 1999 (2nd Edition)

Locative media is a means of placing media content within the real world. Currently locative media is dependent on GPS technology to obtain data (longitude, latitude, and altitude) that can be used to position coordinates that can be used as waypoints to assign content. This content can then be navigated within the real world environment (example of real world device the TomTom, rout finder).

A very interesting subject to look at, but sounds a little strange when thinking how could sustainability be used within Interactive Media.What is sustainability?Sustainability seeks to provide the best outcomes for the human and natural environments, both now and into the indefinite future. It is a systemic concept, relating to the continuity of economic, social, institutional and environmental

I spent some time picking at the term wireless internet, only to uncover information relevant to the boom over wireless in 2004. When looking into the future of wireless technology I uncovered a massive source of information, covering a wide range of personal opinions and future technology research. One that caught my eye in particular was, A Wireless Future by S.Drakopoulou.Posted by

This watch is battery powered and uses a digital display to provide a 24 hour clock that provides the set time, day and lap time in a numeric combination. This watch is definitely aimed towards an individual with interest in sport activities, personally I could see a school gym teacher using this product to record lap times. The watch performs a number of tasks, the most obvious provide the time

Recently visiting the UCI to observe interaction with the amusement arcade. I reckon the place did the job well, literally as soon as entering into what seemed a small maze of loud mixed sound, music and flashing lights. I found myself quickly distracted from what I was there to do. I found it difficult to focus on anything but the products that where being presented. I interacted (played) with

The HarmonographA harmonograph is a mechanical device that employs pendulums to create a picture. The drawings created by the machines can be Lissajous curves or even more complex. The devices appeared in the 19th century and are attributed to Jules Antoine Lissajous.A simple harmonograph uses two pendulums to control the movement of a pen relative to a drawing surface. One pendulum moves the pen

Bluetooth as broadcastLast weeks talk with Simon Pope got me thinking, I suddenly realised Bluetooth could be one of the next extensions for broadcasting corporate information to the general public. It would make sense if you could walk into a high street shop such as Nike, and receive a request to your phone or PDA offering an advert to show of their new highlighted products or even a simple map

What is a P2P Network (P2P)P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files containing audio, video, data or anything in digital format is very common, also realtime data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P technology. A pure P2Pnetwork does not have the notion of clients or
