BRIEF FOR THE ANALYTICS ENGINE draft

It is technology that is shaping our society and accelerating changes around the world from time to time. For my analytics engine, I would like to show how sensors are one of the advanced devices that are widely used.

My chosen pachube feed is “temperature and light sensor”. I generated the idea by analyzing the meaning of temperature and light sensor and slowly developing my idea from there. A temperature sensor is a device to sense temperature and respond to temperature simulation. My analysis is as a  person goes closer to the temperature sensor, the body temperature which has body heat gives out heat and as it goes nearer, the temperature sensor will respond more. And therefore, I made the average velocity flowgraph which is used to see how close the person is to the area which sensor. The closer the player is to the place, the higher average velocity and also more heat. This is my analysis on temperature sensor applied in crysis.

This shows the average speed of the player as it goes closer to the object in this case, sensors.

motion sensor flowgraph

 

This flowgraph shows how to make motion sensor for light. As the player goes into the area, the sensor will be able to detect and then there will be light.

This shows when the player is moving. Also it will be for the sensors to detect as the player is walking close towards it.

cool infographics

 

 As you look at this poster, you will see a tree. This makes me think of photosynthesis, meaning " putting together with light " and since my chosen pachube feed is about temperature and light I thought that this infographic relates to my idea and the feed.

 

The layout of this poster shows contrast. With black as background and bright colored wordings show resemblance to how light is needed in the dark. Other than that, with light, there is heat in the space and that makes changes to the temperature. This shows how the relationship between light and temperature is created.

I especially find this poster interesting. This image here with the title " Visualizing the Bible " The image is made up with arcs that brings to light the interconnected nature. The colors corresponding to the distance between the two testaments ( old and new ) and created a rainbow-like effect. Also gives the feeling of light resonance,

(taken roughly a month ago)

S: Interesting data streams with major difference between the reading in day time and towards evenings.Other than that, it can be related to today's world and even represented in the digital world/game world to make things more interesting. Sensors are placed widely these days to make things easier and more efficient.

W: Insufficient info regarding the feed and the titles are not listed clearly. Although sensors are great, it can sometimes be too sensitive which can cause technical problems.

O: Light could be played around more and its amazing to see how temperature is able to interact with light sensor and this is considered as advance technology which will be beneficial now and in the future and people will start to use the light sensors in office and classrooms for example. 

T: Whether the light and temperature sensor is sensitive enough to detect movements around and just how quick it can pick up movements and will it be accurate.

 

final submission

In the video, it shows the environment that I've chosen, which is querry, and the scenes that I picked. I placed my 3d model in, which is a bomb shelter which I think is relevant and related to Paul Virilio's 'pure war' concept, where globalisation is what today's world is experiencing and everything is moving like the speed of light, in terms of technological advances and that inspired me to design a model which can show and represents the world we're living in and therefore I did a custom texture which can show off simplicity yet modern with colours black and white only. The other effects like rain and and the changing of time of day is another interesting thing, the changing of time i put is really quick, as I want to relate back to the world is changing rapidly and constantly and globalisation happening every now and then.
