DMDN312 INTERACTION DESIGN
PROJECT 1, 2: Science Fiction – Science artiFact
COORDINATOR: Doug Easterly
DUE DATE – Project 1, Monday August 6
Project 2, Thursday, September 16
• Video of production, PDF of proposal, other updates and research to blog
Topic Creating an interactive object, using light and sound – design
convergence on Science Fiction Prop
Task 1 Research
a. Read the Michael Schmitz article about HCI in SF movies (posted in the
links section for DMDN312). Write (300 – 500 words) a response on your
blog to this reading
b. Find 3 examples of technology artifacts found in Science Fiction – make
links and summaries on your blog about each
Task 2 PreProduction
a. Write (300 – 500 words) a design concept for a Science Fiction Prop. If
you have problems, create categorical delimiters for yourself (weapon,
communication device, wearable computing, ubiquitous computing). Post
to your blog as PDF file
b. Create a series of design sketches - posted to your blog (this may
include digital renderings, modeling, etc.)
c. Build a test rig; a semi-functional model that determines scale, form and
to a certain degree, animatronic components – video doc to blog
d. Research the possible materials and components to convert your test rig
into a functioning prototype. Post links and conclusions to your blog
e. Generate a parts list and production schedule. Be sure to subdivide your
project into sub-projects. PDF file posted to your blog
f. Critique of your work to this point – be prepared to present the breadth of
your work, resarch and concepts Project 1 - AUGUST 6
Task 3 Production
a. Build it! Make documentation along the way (video, image, writing)
Task 4 Post-Production
a. Use lighting, models, video and other digital manipulation to create a
video document that summarizes your project. Should be less than 3
minutes. May include footage from your Research and PreProduction
processes
b. Present your final work to class for critique (video and artifact) Project 2 -
