Illusion of Life,
In the first class of IOL, we talked about perception, Illusions, the art of animation as an illusion.. It ponders me into a world of how the world we play in is an illusion for each, created from one's own perspective, maybe from those preconceived beliefs? Is the color yellow the same as you see, for me? how would you know if yellow has always been blue for you, but you always related it to yellow? :}
Reflecting on technological illusionary worlds created by mediums of VR/ AR/ etc, my study partner (Miles) created and reflected on several ideas for me during the creative collaborative process of making something for the other. Revolving around Interactivity , and combining technology to real world applications.
One of the ideas being an interactive arcade game but with medium of VR/ or AR. Remembering them oldschool arcade games like tekken , F1 Racing etc, rethought in Virtual or Mixed Reality environment.
Other interesting idea is- an application where user can combine different food ingridients and the app will determine how it might taste and look like, user's can see what their thought dish might be like and then indulge in creating and inventing that new dish for real! A fun, playful and useful app if used properly.. an awesome app if you are feeding something like a watermelon with pizza to see what the finale might be like.
I'll certainly like to create something towards interactive experience and these ideas really helped me expand more on the already vast possibilities that can be brought to life!
Start:
To start putting the research towards practice, setting up the environment and sdks, refining ideas more and having a more clear direction towards the final Interactive peice.
Stop:
While making it more fun , i tend to get bombarded with ideas which can be included in the expeirence, While taking and keeping the best, I need to stop complicating it.
Continue:
At the same time i love collaborating and getting feedback it always sparks a new idea which can be integrated in the experience. Continue to put it down in breif and think on timeline and things to include. Research on ways it can be approached, through mediums of Hololense,MagicLeap,Phone, or something like WebAR to include all.
