Interface ideas of the day

Standing in front of the media wall

 

1. using face tracking to turn a 3d in accordance to the position of the user to the space.

            Visualisation of the  department as a tree.

2. using face tracking to drive a Amazon like interface – moving closer gives up more detail and moving back zooms out. Moving left/right changes position of zoom. Implies a more liniear interface as you only have one pan dimeion not too.            

            Perhaps something to do with a time line… calendar of papers or outputs or activites.

3. Group of eyes tracking you as you go by ( provide and face. If you look at the display you get friendly smile and possibly a comment from the interface.

 

I told Catrina and Theo that I should really do an introduction to space syntax theory for non architects. They agree it would be good to have a single introduction especially one that bridged the vocabulary gap with areas like transport planning
