Motion, time and stories
Notes from a talk by Jakob Trollbäck – Trollbäck+Company at
About emotional response
1. If design doesn’t move you or give a better understanding of things, then what’s the point?
How does people react to your messages. Do we inspire people?
Inspire using people, photography, music, audio, form, architecture, movies.
2. As soon as something is moving, there has to be a story.
About kinetic and static energy
3. Movement/animation: If it is important it must have weight and gravity.
4. Break isolation by bringing in the world
5. Create wonderful experiences people can be part of.
6. Trends are annoying
7. God bless the programmers
Study:
Composition

Tom Igoe – Physical Interaction Design Using Processing
Notes from a presentation by Tom Igoe
at FlashForward 2005.

Using the serial port and a pc to create interactive art and toys.
One of the more liberating ideas that’s come out of the past couple decades is amateur software development. Instead of seeing software as something that’s handed down from “the professionals”, we see it as a very flexible toolkit. This attitude hasn’t yet taken hold on the hardware side. The basic physical interfaces we’ve got for the computer don’t meet the demands of every profession, and there are many needs that go unmet because there’s just not a big enough market for a hardware vendor to bother making a specialized widget. We’ve already accepted the idea that if no one makes the software you need, you can develop it yourself. The same is true, or can be, with hardware. This is the spirit behind physical computing.
