Health and Wellness: Sketches and Mock Ups
So our group decided to go with the shopping idea. Instead of having the user tote a list around, the list would be generated and remembered through a USB keychain. This keychain would be able to store, transact and record information the person’s consumption and purchasing habits. As a result, we can solicit [...]
Dialog: Games + Information Visualization
I promise to update on my group’s progress. We are getting somewhere and it’s exciting! Lots of data visualizations and interesting spatial/temporal interactions. Our advisor thinks we are heading in a good direction and we also received good feedback from our Microsoft advisor as well. I’ll just mention that we are now working on [...]
Health and Wellness: Concepts and Designs
Before I go any further, I’d like to point out that our initial website is up: Pebble In A Pond
wtf does that mean?!
Simply, it is a metaphor of our purpose. A single pebble dropped into a calm pond, causes ripples to spread further and wider. There is a dualistic relationship here: One is that [...]
Health and Wellness: Research and Analysis
Time for an update right? It’s been a week and by the way I’m naming these titles, it’s looking like a software development life cycle (SDCL *shutters*). I was hoping for a more agile approach, but then again, this is school and going through the processes is pretty essential. So from my previous post, [...]
Support “Start Good” Because It’s Cool
If you don’t already know, the discussion of healthier, cleaner, overall better decisions/actions is a big theme in the past year and will be for a while. There’s a part of me that is growing more aware of the discussions and the ways to really make a difference in at least my own life. [...]
Health and Wellness: The Ambiguous Beginnings
Starting new projects are always fun and mysterious. The open endedness really allows you to explore crazy ideas and really see what the rest of the team is thinking. That kind of insight is really important, because it allowed me (and others) to see more of what drives our own thinking and perspective.
We [...]
Video: The Inner Life of a Cell
While doing more research on nanomedicine and its social impact, I came across this amazing video visualizing the activities that happen inside our bodies (all the time). It certainly has been a challenge trying to conceptualize the movements on a molecular scale, but this video changed all that. Watching this made sense. I was [...]
Too Busy To Blog and I Hate It
Why!? There is so much to write about and so much to say, but it all becomes so difficult to articulate. WWDC just happened and updates on my job are some of the few things I wanted to go over. But nooo. Instead I am spending 10 and considering 11 hours a day at Microsoft! [...]
NIKE+ IPOD
A new kind of synthesis between two reigning companies in their respective marketplace, NIKE and Apple have combined their talents to create something actually very interesting. Apple is selling the iPod Sport Kit, which is essentially an adapter that you attach to the bottom of the iPod Nano and a transceiver, embedded in the [...]
