Lamp Design & A Mobius Strip
Last modified on 2010-03-07 01:05:39 GMT. 1 comment. Top.
Design a lamp hanging or standing around a 75 watt bulb. I chose to work with the shape of a mobius strip. The shape was inspired by me reading of Einstein’s Dreams. The Möbius strip is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. The Möbius strip has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It is also a ruled surface. It was discovered independently by the German mathematicians August Ferdinand Möbius. I attempted to widen the width of curtain sections of the plainer surface at which the bulb could fit into. The Möbius strip is one of the move difficult shapes to work with because the inside become the outside and vice versa.

Photo Trap Test
Last modified on 2010-02-02 03:26:04 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
A quick experiment into trapping users. We (Chris Lauritzen, Nicole Chan, and I) attempted to trap a users photo looking for a funny face. We attached a simple button mechanism over a laptop computer and gave users some simple directions that we were doing a survey of Art Center faces. Upon pushing the button an obnoxious three second doorbell chimed before the picture was taken. The location was placed at the entrance of the building and was left alone for us to observe. In observation we found that more men then woman used the button. Woman tended to do it in groups also where as men made more faces.

Scanner Knob Prototype
Last modified on 2010-03-07 00:40:45 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
As the sound scanner concept evolved I quickly realized that for a user to test a scanning line the action of the interaction between the actuator and the screen should relate. In prior experiments I was using a mocked up turn table which resulted in poor physical mapping because a record spins round and round not back and forth. I changed the visual of the knob into a large knob with some visual cues as to where the range of scanning could take place.
Studio Space Scanner : Prototype Two

Studio Space Scanner from Christopher Becker on Vimeo.
A experiment annotating ambient noise from scanning a space. User control the scanning line through the use of a dial. Sounds are generated in layers through the density of the 3D space. Experiment into the simple idea of how enjoyable scanning a space and the response that occurs back to the user. Studio space is ordinary with no perceived planning for a particular effect.

NET Desk : Demo from Christopher Becker on Vimeo.
Final Demo for interactive NET Desk. Demo explores the prototype. Desk was developed around the idea of giving paper a link to its digital counterpart. Interactive desk explores a world where paper has an identity and a connection to its digital file. Utilizing ideas from The New Ecology of Things, The NET Desk demo is a prototype made from design research and experimentation around un-homogenizing the designers work space.
