DSDN 101 Project 3: Sequence 4: Reading List/Reminder

The user then asks the glasses to pull up his reading list and add the book that was just scanned. This would be a moment when short-term memory of the system would be important. It would have to be clear that when things are closed (the book summary), things should necessarily be immediately forgotten. This inter-linking of features would be crucial for the system to be effective.

The reading list is exactly the same as the To-Do List, just a different file. The opening and closing sequence should look the same.

Adding little things to the To-Do List would be crucial for its use. If you had to open it every time you needed too add something, it would be a painstaking task. Just asking it to be added is far more effective. The dictation-style recognition of the words would endeavour to make the glasses seem a little bit closer to humans.

Individual Work

Use what was learned and analyse a precedent and take a drawing from one of the previous parts and explore it using a technical drawing style. I analysed the style of the Dutch Bauhaus-esque design De Stijl. The picture I derived my idea is copied below. I found the idea of an exploded object really appealing, since it really allows one to fully understand the object in a way that plans and elevations can't really do. The technical drawing method of exploding the object worked best in planometric, as well as this being the same technique that De Stijl used in the precedent image. Doing an explosion on a Swiss Army Knife was also extremely informative and interesting.

Precedent Drawing

Individual Work

Touch & Draw

Analyse an object with "Innocent Eyes" and attempt to capture the essence of the object.  The object I chose to do this for is my hex-nut bracelet, of which there are two, my significant other having the matching one. I sought to capture the essence of this connection via two physical objects, as well as what the object was on paper.

Section

Draw accurate sections of the chosen object and then compose them into an abstract design.
Done in pen and permanent marker.

Draw

Investigate an object through various freehand technical drawings and details.

Hatch

Each of the 24 squares needed to have it's own unique texture, and all of them together were meant to form a gradient on the page.

Done in pen.

Identity

Developed from a given precedent, compose 5 items of our own using the composition lines derived from the precedent, and then draw them.
