Course Goals
• Explore design process• Train new practitioners
– New VR medium– Artists/designers that can work with scientists– Computer scientists that can work with artists
• New visualization and interaction designs• Scientific advances• RISD/Brown bridge
Course Goals
• Explore design process• Train new practitioners
– New VR medium– Artists/designers that can work with scientists– Computer scientists that can work with artists
• New visualization and interaction designs• RISD/Brown bridge• ???
What we’ll do
• Design and technical lectures• Visuals, demos• Readings: visual, design, technical• Design and implementation assignments
– All targeted at the cave, many realized
• Group crits• Final project• Field trips, guest lectures
Assignments
• Natural Force and Form• Gradients and 2D Visualization of Multiple
Variables• 3D Visualization of Multiple Variables• Anatomy, Kinematics and Aerodynamics:
Design the Perfect Wing!• Interactivity and Selection• Final Project
What we’ll do
• Design and technical lectures• Visuals, demos• Readings: visual, design, technical• Design and implementation assignments
– All targeted at the cave, many realized
• Group crits• Final project• Field trips, guest lectures
Project
• Refined design elements• Evaluated and well understood
Some Rules and an Estimate
• Read e-mail• Handouts on the web• Nothing late
– Damages collaboration– Makes the work pointless – misses the crit!
• Something due every class• Classes not redundant• ~ 15 hours per week
and a Caveat
• This is an experiment– Exciting– Fun– No one should get hurt…
• Questions?
