D&AD Brief

Just to inform people there is a separate blog for the D&AD brief. Sam decided it would be a good idea to have a joint blog so we can both post work we have done and give each other feedback while we are not at college. find the link below.

Insertsilence.com seems to be a very website but i think its awesome. I really do not have a clue how this was made. I sometimes am able to get my head around how atleast part of things work but this has me really well stumped. For that reason i really enjoy this site. I am not going to say to much as this is the site i am using for my presentation...

ZCam

This is so cool. I think of it like a mega updated version of that playstation eyecam thing. the camera monitors your finger tips to see how you want to interact with the current interface. Click the link to take a closer look, its even being used for a boxing game by the looks of it, could this rival the wii? seeing as you dont need a controller i think if a gaming platform introduced this it may just do that...

Surface

Ok its something i should have put up ages ago but something stopped me, i don't know what because this seems like it will be absolutely awesome in the long run.

MS Surface uses a very cool and by the looks of things simple touch interface. The interface is even that simple that to add music to your zune all you do is stick it on the table and drag them to the actual device. It all seems rather ingenious assuming the get it to work. It will bring a new element of interface design once this technology starts to develop. People may no longer have to worry about explaining interfaces or making them simple. You could in theory start to go crazy because as long as the basic gestures remain you cannot really lose.

On another note i actually liked the site as well. Visually it is appealing to me, its a simple interface and i would be shocked if anyone could get lost. Granted it uses flash which not everyone will have, but in there defense anyone i imagine who would be taking a interest in technology like this wouldn't have such a old machine that it would be without something as everyday as flash now is.

Second Life Halo???

Why do we have a huge Halo around the island? Just curious :)

This is a site i have been looking at to find out what sort of thing the industry is looking for within creatives etc.. thought it may be worth a look for anyone that needs it.

Gish

Found a really nicely done flash game called Gish. It has some very nice physics involved such as making our ball of tar heavier, sticky and slide. The way it moves around is very fluid and the transitions between different maneuvers are really nice. Felt this was a very nice piece of interactive flash work and i imagine it has taken a lot of work.
