Fabricating Information: Parasite
Here is my final project for Fabricating Information. It is a 3D print that is “parisitic” to our other final, which is a tower structure to house the projects we created this year. The model was created using TopMod3D and Maya.
iPhone Life Cycle Analysis
For our sustainability class we created a Life Cycle Analysis of our Asthmap application and the iPhone 2g. Using data from Greanpeace, Apple and various electronics distributers we where able to gather information about the material construct of the phone. We plugged our data into Sustainableminds in order to compare our findings with those of Apple and Greenpeace. Click on the chart for a high resolution version.
More about iPhone and sustainability to come!
Asthmap web interface update.
Here is the new look for the Asthmap web interface. The newest version contains a javascript based date picker, so users have the ability to select a range of dates.
vitalApp v.3 Web update.
vitalApp is an application that allows you to manage and keep track of illnesses, allergies or various other medical conditions online. vitalApp is currently in alpha, the following screens are from the iPhone version of the application.
Each time you are feeling ill or have allergy symptoms, vitalApp allows you to report an “event” or illness in which your report will be geo-coded and uploaded to google maps.
Through the web and phone interfaces, you have the ability to browse and organize these reports.
As of now, the current build of vitalApp allows you Login and Register to the system, as well as report coughing, sneezing or allergies. Check out the updated beta version of the web interface here.
iPhone -> PHP/MySQL using NSMutableURLRequest
For my current project vitalApp I am creating a standard user login and registration system using PHP/MySQL and an iPhone. The final version of the application will feature login and registration options from both the web and the iPhone. You are able to send requests through the device using NSMUtableURLRequest.
Here as an example that takes the URL of the desired PHP script and sends it the appropriate variables. The one I am using here is generated based on upon user inputs during registration. We can’t send PHP anything in the POST if the user doesn’t type anything in!
Finally, the data is sent to the appropriate PHP script with the correct MySQL info.
And here is the final result.
Fabricating Information: 3D printed vases
Our assignment for Fabricating information was to design and prototype a functional vase. Using Maya; the vase was modeled, then exported to be printed. The final version is extremely delicate and must now be coated with a layer of zap-a-gap for reinforcement. Here is the finished 3D print for my vase.
Here is the 3D version in comparison to the real thing.
Since we all used the same template for our vases, here is everyone’s vases linked together.
Lucid, a boy and his dreams.
Lucid is a game where a young boy, Hermin, is guided by his dreams to a moment of inspiration. You control a dream cloud that determines Hermin’s path, connected by thought bubbles. On his way, Hermin faces “mental” obstacles, or black blocks and walls, that will wake Hermin from his dream. Along the way you help Hermin collect building blocks in order to realize his inspiration.
It was created for the 2009 Global Game Jam.
Lucid was programmed in Java/Processing under the eclipse environment. It was also made in under 48 hours! If its not working, make sure you have the latest version of java installed.
Subconscious
For todays 4-in-4 project I wanted to get some practice with Flash CS4. I created a simple underwater exploration demo called subconscious as practice for the upcoming Global Game Jam. Play Subconscious here.
Multi-touch oscilliscope
For ITP’s 4-in-4 I created a camera based Multi-touch instrument. Check out all of the cool projects here.
