Assignment 3 - Develop a prototype for your mass customisation product design tool.

Website

Report:
Basically, my idea since the second assignment has been the same except for a few changes which will be highlighted shortly. Here is a summary of the prototype;

There is a lot to write about for my prototype, but much of the design process has been shown on the website. The about page contains the general information about my idea – the “customisable pouch”.… Continue

Prototype - Website

Pouch turning into a Spore like concept

I'm still "researching" on the concept of generative design in aliens. Rob said that to make my pouches more interesting, have different aspects like creating monsters. Of course I would want something like "Spore" to have the user be able to do whatever he or she wants and be ultimately a pouch. But the reality in the cost and the fact that each design will need different 'parts'; it's difficult to do. It would be good if I was making a tshirt; just get the rendered design at the end. I've been… Continue

Then I thought, why Flash, when I could of done it in a website? Well I wanted it to be less web "pages" with everything in one 'application'. Now I'm thinking I could use Javascript, but I don't know how to use Javascript.… Continue

Week 12 - Emergence

So we had to research in emergence...

The closest idea I managed to come across that I can use in my application was this simple Java application (http://llk.media.mit.edu/projects/emergence/make-your-own.html) based upon Conway's Game of Life.

Though in conway's game of life, it has no input; this application allowed users to click on a few dots, and based on a few presets of defined rules, randomized dots will appear and disappear.

I like how everything is defined simply as binary (0 and 1)… Continue

actually, they already do something like that with the SD versions, where they shrink it down and put massive heads on tiny bodies.

so it would be possible to customise them too ^^

the last line of my presentation - applying Lego Designer style customisation tool to the customisation of Gundam models. I know it's a kinda broad area -____-"
