New Ecology of things : Layout Hub from Christopher Becker on Vimeo.
A video look at the functionality, purpose and possible ideas that might make their way into the final prototype. Video is useful for understanding potential functionality. Ideas explored around the notion that paper has a history and connection into the digital space. NET Desk is an experiment in representing the position and content of the printed page into the digital realm with seamless interaction and affordance of working in actual size. The ability to juxtapose and use new and old tools fluidly with in the system were part or our core values.

NET Desk : Prototype 2 from Christopher Becker on Vimeo.
A prototype of a design desk that utilizes the affordances of space, physical paper, and physical user interfaces to interact with the screen space. The NET Desk prototype is a project that is attempting to address the lack of a link between printed material and the digital file. Prototype moves away from a one to one representation of paper and gives the desk specific functionality. The link between physical paper and digital file allows for fluid access to History, Versions, and Network

After working out some functionality and purpose of shape with the foam core and foam prototype, Ryan and I decided to move into more substantial materials to help legitimize the interactions and the possible reality of the prototype. We moved into mocking up the table with the workable materials of Masonite and Acrylic. We built in a controller hiding place and cove. We then made the light sensors used to activate the 3 zone as seamless as possible with the look of the desk.

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.
