RISD Workshop

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

 

I’m currently down at the Rhode Island School of Design giving a talk about E15 as part John Caserta’s Fusion Arts Workshop. I gave my presentation yesterday, and the students engaged in an E15-inspired activity about re-thinking the current web interface. Notes and references can be found on the buzamoto wiki.

One Step Closer…

Hey, like a real company, BuzaMoto now has real business cards! Check it out!

BuzaMoto Cards

So one step closer to becoming a real professional. Also, we installed a wiki today. It’s a stock dokuwiki, but Kyle is in charge of making it look cool, giving it the BuzaMoto touch it needs. If it looks like shit, blame him.

3D Navigation with the iPhone

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

I’ve spent part of my summer fixing a number of things in E15, including using the iPhone as an input device. Having spent a number of years working on embedded devices (and the software that runs on them), I think the iPhone has a bright future with respect to the design of interactive installations. A surprisingly large and diverse set of individuals already have iPhones today, and these numbers are likely to increase with the coming of the 3G version.

I threw together a little demonstration of using the multi-touch capabilities of the iPhone to navigate and interact with a collection of images from YouTube in the 3D E15 context. If you’re so inclined, I’ve written a slightly more technical description of these efforts in my personal blog.

If not, I’ll get straight to the point and give you the video. Enjoy!
