Concept development is will about ideas that I might use for my second assinment. From all the artist and designs study 4 was to use the ideas that might have benefited me of new ideas for my second assinment. I showed diregrams, storyboards and designs to show an example of what I might be doing for the second project. I will be using various other as inspirations toward my development for my art artefact. The forth Study were to be based more on the pictures and designs as the examples of concepts.
At first on the on the blog I had one idea where I could use a mobile phone to control and interact with a 3D installation or even a 3d software like google earth in particular. Google Earth is a virtual globe program that was originally called Earth Viewer and was created by Keyhole, Inc. It maps the earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS 3D globe. It is available under three different licenses: Google Earth, a free version with limited functionality; Google Earth Plus, which includes a few more features; and Google Earth Professional, intended for commercial use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Earth.
This peace of software was formerly known as Earth Viewer. Google Earth was developed by Keyhole, Inc. a company acquired by Google in 2004. The product was renamed Google Earth in 2005 and is currently available for use on personal computers running Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, or Vista; Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above; Linux (released on June 12, 2006); and FreeBSD. In addition to releasing an updated Keyhole based client, Google also added the imagery from the Earth database to their web based mapping software. Google earth is also shown on BBC news, which has mostly been for things like the war in Iraq an Afghanistan to show locations, and of surten events.
Google Earth has the capability to show 3D buildings and structures (such as bridges), which consist of users’ submissions using SketchUp, a 3D modeling program. In prior versions of Goggle Earth (before Version 4), 3D buildings were limited to a few cities, and had poorer rendering with no textures.
Many buildings and structures from around the world now have detailed 3D structures; including (but not limited to): U.S., Canada, Japan, United Kingdom, [1], Germany, Alexandria and Pakistan [2]. Three-dimensional renderings are available for certain buildings and structures around the world via Google’s 3D Warehouse [3] and other websites.
This is an idea where you can get an old or new mobile phone to interact with an 3d installation and use the buttons with out using wires and just the mobile phone as a controller. What in pirated me to do this idea was Nintendo wii controller. The Wii Remote is a one-handed controller that uses a combination of accelerometers and infrared detection (from an array of LEDs inside the Sensor Bar) to sense its position in 3D space. This design allows users to control the game using physical gestures as well as traditional button presses. The controller connects to the console using Bluetooth, and features rumble and an internal speaker. The Wii Remote can connect to other devices through a proprietary port at the base of the controller. The device bundled with the Wii retail package is the Nunchuk unit, which features an accelerometer and a traditional analog stick with two trigger buttons. In addition, an attachable wrist strap can be used to prevent the player from unintentionally dropping or throwing the Wii Remote. In response to incidences of strap failures, Nintendo is offering a free stronger replacement for all straps.
However the Nintendo Wii controller is not wire but it how you interact with it like a TV remote or a mobile phone which is what I decided to take further for the second assinment. Where as on the other hand the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are wireless.
Thing like films also inspirited me to do this idea was Enemy of the State a done made by will smith. The film is about a sate light that’s being controlled in space to catch criminals. I wanted to further with an idea where I can control google earth or made even make up my own art effect of an installation to programme where I can zoon in to earth and see live footage from the top view. Obviously looking earth live action from the top view I would say is quit impossible. But there other ways and ideas you can use to make possible.
Because of the possibility of influencing the past while time traveling, one way of explaining why history does not change is by saying that whatever has happened was meant to happen. A time traveler attempting to alter the past in this model, intentionally or not, would only be fulfilling his role in creating history, as we know it, not changing it.
Déjà Vu is anther film done by Denzel Washington where threw out a machine known a predestination paradox which is also called either a causal loop, or a causality loop and (less frequently) either a closed loop or closed time loop, is a paradox of time travel that is often used as a convention in science fiction. It exists when a time traveler is caught in a loop of events that “predestines” him or her to travel back in time. In the movie the predestination paradox was used to only go back four days before where you look back and fine what was happening then. Once time has pasted you could not go back but you can just record what you are looking for.
I have just opened up google earth for mobile phone interactivity for assignment 2. I am just crying to get use of the layout of the software. In terms in controlling google earth it is like using 3d software.
I can’t seem to find the connection for options to the programming for my mobile.
I have tried to use experiment by using after effects as en example of how my experiment would work for the art effect.
The visual style of my designs was about was mostly about interactivity but how does this the idea go further, researching other artist and installations I feel that it is important that I have to try and keep an open mind to my idea of 3d development interactivity and computer games.
Threw out the past few days I have used examples of using real life footage of my own mock up examples of how would use a mobile phone to control an insulation. Forinstence this is a quick time movie of a peace that I have done this to the understanding of my concept. How ever I was unable to find the coding for the artefact. By using Maya and flash I came up with short animations that shoes how it would have been done. The way I did was to use green or blue screen in flash to animate the mobile phone and the camera tool in Maya to you or the user would control google earth. I hope to believe that the animations that I done should make if clear of what was crying to achieve.
As I was working the on making animation I used various earth images help me with the animation
The artist that influenced me was John Klima. He done project called earth 2001 which is a unique geo-spatial visualization system, culls real-time data from the Internet and accurately positions it onto a three-dimensional model of the Earth. http://www.cityarts.com/earth/
