Project 1 : Phone Unlockers
Our objective this time around are to create alternatives to unlocking your phones! We are to create two different method, one has to be a touch based interaction, and the other being motion based. In our Ideation phase, I proposed a method which turns out to be very effective: generating random words and draw some ideas for it. Below are some of the initial sketches we made with that method that we presented in class.
The feedbacks we received in class were overwhelmingly in favor of Fran's variant of my virtual life form idea, the pet idea. We decided that it was a good one and proceed to elaborate more on it. For the other, we were unsure between driving and roll the ball into the hole thingy. So I suggested we draw up a few sketches for both of them. You can see our refine sketches for these ideas below.
After looking over our sketches, we decided on my petting zone variant and Tyler's tilt idea. In our development phase, I was mostly in charge with creating the touch interaction and overall design for the pet idea. More specifically, I set up the project and created touch detection. From there, I created the puppy face object and its interaction: face changing and rotation. I also took the liberty to pick the background for the general look and feel of the software. For the motion gesture project, I played no major role besides implementation advising and design feedback.
Here is the demo video for both of our designs!
