Camera concept and prototype

Ah, finally :)

The video, which will explain it all. The whole project, how and why I did it, together with the final results. Now my question to you is "What should I do with it?". Should I sell it all to a camera manufacturer, write guidelines for the Touchband interface, make a phone app with a similar interface or something else?

Portfolio

I finally managed to make a portfolio of my best work. It's ready for download: Portfolio

Here are some screen shots:

 

 

How to visualize a Formula 1 race

UPDATE: This image was promoted to the Hall of Fame on www.3delavnica.com

I am not a big fan of Formula 1, but I was curious how a race visualization would look like. So I went through these steps to find out:

1. Watch the recorded race
2. Write down lap positions and other events
3. Explore visual style
4. Turn data into graph

5. Add finishing touches

I wanted to make a visualization that everyone could understand who has ever seen a race. It had to be simple enough to understand, but still give enough accurate information to study the race (strategy, cause and effect). Although it may not look like much, but there are a few days of work in this image. Hope you will enjoy it. Your comments are welcome :)

Here are some details (original size):

New old track

This track was taken from a video of mine. I made it for the video and then exported it together with the background sounds from the video. First the audio influenced the video and now the video influenced this track.

 

Here is the original video if someone would like to watch it:



I am also seriously thinking about changing the name of this blog, because the current one is just silly and stupid. Update: Blog name changed to "Design stream" :)

Konceptna kuhinja Wodwa

PDF in English about this concept kitchen with more details: download (1.7 MB)

UPDATE: Electrolux has patented this kitchen concept :)

V današnjem  načinu gradnje stebri prevzemajo nosilno vlogo v stavbi. Ker imajo stene zgolj še ločevalno funkcijo, je mogoče v njih skriti celotno kuhinjo in uporabiti prostor za druge namene.

“Wodwa je koncept polno opremljene ekološke kuhinje, katero je mogoče v celoti skriti v steno. ”

Koncept stene Wodwa vsebuje glavni modul s pomivalnim strojem, hladilnikom, pečico, prostorom za shranjevanje, indukcijsko kuhalno ploščo in pomivalnim koritom s fleksibilno armaturo. Zraven glavnega modula vsebuje še mizo, stole, ogrevane in hlajene prostore za shranjevanje, sistem za avtomatsko reciklažo in aeroponični vrt.

Hladilnik hladi z zvočnim pogonom, večina vode se reciklira s pomočjo povratne osmoze, pomivalni stroj s paro pomiva in dezinficira z nano plastjo prevlečeno posodo, koš za smeti pa s senzorjem zazna vrsto smeti in jih temu primerno razvrsti. Računalnik nadzira rast rastlin v aeroponičnem vrtu, svetlobo pa rastline dobijo od zunaj, skozi optične kable.

Koncept je v celoti prilagodljiv uporabniku, saj površine prevlečene z elektronskim papirjem spreminjajo barvo. Oprema prostora pa se razporeja samodejno glede na uporabo in čas dneva. Glavni materiali koncepta Wodwa so les iz lokalnih dreves, biorazgradljivi polimeri in aluminij.

The face of the camera

I finally finished writing my thesis, so I had some spare time to finish the 3D model and make a few renders. What do you think?

First results from prototype testing

Hello there!
I had no time to write my blog (not that anyone would read it), because I had to write my thesis first. And I can assure you that this is the last time I am writing a Bachelor Thesis ;)

Now to the results of the first 12 tests [drumroll]. Although the prototype is still in an early stage, it is already  better then both contestants. I expected it to be better then the button interface (Canon), but I never expected that it would be better then the touchscreen interface (Sony). And rest assured that I did everything I could to make the testing objective and unbiased. So, the results are solid.

So much for now. I will present all the data in more detail some time next month. Until then, have fun!
