''Journey Through Mediums'' Game Design

Selecting a main idea that merges the various aspects of digital media arts. This could be a transition from analog to digital, an exploration of key media types (like sound, video, and interactive elements), or my own experience transitioning from interior design to immersive technologies.

Structure:

Users can start inside of a 3D labirent representing my path and career. At the very begining of my career as a interior design student, there can be interactions in the labirent which represents various of media tools and digital art fields that I had used and experienced till today chronomically. And, by following up to right path users may ended up in the middle which represent where i exactly am at the moment and what kind of technologies I'm currently using.

Assets to Collect:

3D models (as clickable elements).

Texts, videos, and sounds that represent different ideas in the field.

Technical Research

3D Modeling:

Blender or another 3D modeling tool to can create simple but meaningful environments for each section.

For example, an animation area could feature animated objects.

A sound area could have sound-emitting sculptures.

An interaction area could involve user-triggered effects or objects.

Implementing the Project:

Unreal Engine: These engines to build the interactive map and program the puzzle mechanics.

Set up triggers (e.g., objects that activate media when clicked).

Do Not Touch

Moniker Studio, 2016

An interactive design studio called Moniker is renowned for its humourous ability to handle of digital media. In many of their projects, users are encouraged to interact with media in groups. For example, in Do Not Touch, users can interact with a video by moving their mouse across the screen and sharing the visual experience with others.

Do Not Touch is an interactive, crowd sourced music video for the track Kilo by the band Light Light.

With Do Not Touch we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the computer pointer. For decades this ubiquitous, yet inconspicuous arrow has formed the essential interface connecting user and computer. With the rise of multi-touch interfaces, we are slowly seeing these disconnected phantom limbs disappear. Reason enough to gather our pointers together and have some fun.

The Wilderness Downtown

Aaron Koblin, 2010

Aaron Koblin is an artist who is known for data visualization to create interactive and stunning art projects. One of the well known works that he undertook ''The Wilderness Downtown'' is interactive music video that takes audience input such as where they were born and use it to customize the video. He links the personal data to broader media experiences.

''The real kicker for this project though, was to make something data driven and customisable, but at the same time incredibly personal to each individual user. Chris really wanted the experience to be based around Google Maps and Street View, so we met up with the band and did a demo with Google Earth where we zoomed in on their childhood homes, and we all knew this was what the experience should be about.

Very Nervous System

1986-1990, David Rokeby

David Rokeby's interactive sound and visual installations are well-known. In his work Very Nervous System, the user becomes a part of the system by using motion tracking to produce music with their own body movements. In the installation Giver of Names, users place objects in front of a camera, and the system creates poetic texts that bridge the gap between the digital and the physical.

Very Nervous System is the third generation of interactive sound installations which I have created. In these systems, I use video cameras, image processors, computers, synthesizers and a sound system to create a space in which the movements of one's body create sound and/or music. It has been primarily presented as an installation in galleries but has also been installed in public outdoor spaces, and has been used in a number of performances.

I created the work for many reasons, but perhaps the most pervasive reason was a simple impulse towards contrariness. The computer as a medium is strongly biased. And so my impulse while using the computer was to work solidly against these biases. Because the computer is purely logical, the language of interaction should strive to be intuitive. Because the computer removes you from your body, the body should be strongly engaged. Because the computer's activity takes place on the tiny playing fields of integrated circuits, the encounter with the computer should take place in human-scaled physical space. Because the computer is objective and disinterested, the experience should be intimate.
