A Memory Making System
The Memory Making System examines the issue of family archiving and presents a platform designed to enable families to capture, manage, create and store new kinds of digital memorabilia. The system, using Microsoft Surface as its hub, shows how families can upload photos and videos quickly and easily, and scan in physical objects, such as children’s artwork or a child’s first pair of shoes.
The Other Brother
The Other Brother is an autonomously behaving object that captures spontaneous moments in time. Being positioned at the centre of the table it spins around and, apart from its capturing capabilities, starts to behave like an additional character being present during social events like birthday parties, dinners, weddings, etc.
TellTable
TellTable utilises Microsoft Surface Technology to provide an interactive storytelling experience, helping to stimulate creativity and self-expression by children. The storyteller(s) can manipulate various digital characters and sceneries on Surface, which are created by capturing and editing real world elements using a camera. By doing so, they can narrate, act, and record the story in a lightweight way, similar to how children would tell stories using physical toys.
SketchStorm
This project explores an ideation tool that dynamically populates a sketching canvas with inspirational content; aiding designers in an early ideation stage of the design process. The key aspect of this concept is the serendipitous nature of the interaction as it isn't a very conscious search but the dynamics of the sketch that triggers the surrounding content to change.
