Based on the early stage of FYP, I have decided to involve in a real time Interaction, after go through all the research about the social network issue, it's finally comes to final development of idea. For the FYP, I decided to do a "Wall Interaction". This wall interaction compress a combination of various method such as mapping / normal projection, programming, Kinect Detection and involving people interaction. The Idea is being generate because of the social problems (nowadays lifestyles) that teenager becoming less aware of communicating to close friends and people around them. This Installation is all about bringing people closer, and make people aware of the surrounding.

Contextual Studies

Geografical Context The Wall Installation will be place at particular places in KL such as Pavillion

or a crowded places.

Social Context My final year project elaborates about social problem in urban lifestyle that

been known since we achieved technologies, is it not disadvantages on having tech, it is more about how people handle / adapt to new things

Content development Wall Interact Installation

This is a installation that involve human interaction. It objective is to connect people around and stop them from ignoring to the people around them. There wall interaction will going to need a spacey area for this to work. This is a rough idea of the installation, there may be a bit of changes at the end.

Content development – P2 The Flow Process.1. The thing started with a empty wall interaction, the only thing appear is the wire frame

animation of background layer.

2. The tag text started to appear after a person being detect by a webcam or kinect when passing through the hall way.

3. When people walk toward the other people and clash with each other , The speaker will produce a sound like “Hi”, “Hei”, "Hello". This will be noticed by the people and indirectly make them look to each other.

Content development – P3 Using Sarcasm greeting word

such as in this website: http://steelx.tripod.com/sarcasm.htm

You're not worth talking to. Talking to you doesn't bring any benefits. I do have a life too, you know. What you Looking at! Ingnore me please! Oh Hye there empty spaces! Im Alone now! There no one around me, can you see that!
