Shiguang Time Machine

M22 Graduation Project by Fan Chen

This project explores some related work about utilizing recorded data to reflect past experiences and maintain relationships. The first iteration was carried out in the university and a growing collective memories album service named Shiguang Time Machine was developed. With the input of client, Mobile Taobao, a second iteration was carried out focusing on the photo merging. Shiguang Time Machine is a mobile social application that brings past memories to present and merges photos together based on the location. The service aims at (1)making recorded data easily accessed in the right situation and (2)bringing touched moments and joy to the user. Finally, after the evaluation of the project, further development directions were discussed.

Social Interaction in a Public Space: Words of Wisdom

B32 Graduation Project by Emilija Marinkovic

The design challenge in this project is to find ways to design a physical locus of interaction, a specific, physical device that opens the ‘digital’ action possibilities of a city to the physical ones. While the context is the city, it is up to the designer to focus on the design challenge within that context. How to let a ‘generic’ device grow into different meaningful forms and shapes dependent on the context of use, or the specific location in a city, and how to operationalize the concept of context dependent action possibilities.
