IDA Singapore – Interactive Digital Media

Monday, November 16th, 2009

This is an interactive installation content created for IDA Singapore. It would be one of the biggest challenge I have undertook in developing an interactive system from scratch. The initial brief for this project is to turn a boring Powerpoint slide presentation into an interesting medium for the client to present it to towards their visitors. The core of this presentation content is used to showcase all of the best individual from Singapore that has been successful in building startups and inventions towards the years.

This content which will be accessible towards a touchscreen installed at Fusionopolis, Singapore. User will be able to access it via an online website as well. The gem that lies behind this engine is that it would intelligently check if there is internet connection on client-side, if available, will connect to the online database for all the data such as company profile and logos. When there is no internet connection present, it would get all of the data from existing offline files.

The development of this project took about 1 – 2 month in development from initial take-off towards debugging. The development time is also lengthened due to a bulk amount of time is given on taking care of Green Screen videos of the featured individuals. This involves of keying out the person out of a greenscreen and to be placed into the software.

Speakup : A Reactive Interactive Installation

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

 One of the biggest interactive project I’ve ever taken on so far. Originally developed using Flash Communication Server MX, it’s later powered by the powerful Flash Media Server 2, the entire installation went like a breeze with minimum server side actionscripting. The core of the application are done in Flash MX Professional 2004.

The entire production of the project took up around 5 weeks with planning, drafting, design and programming the entire structure. The entire front and backend of the installation was handled by me, together with the setup of the website requiring MySQL database for the comment system.

The installation is a collaborative reactive installation that reacts to user’s voice input to navigate through the interface prior taking pictures. The entire project are to give a throughfully study on an experimental interface utilizing the voice input, benchmarking on how effective and usable it can be for user in developing more usable application in the future.

On the sidenote, the installation requires minimal setup of a webcam, microphone and Flash Media Server 2 on the parent computer.

The pictures from the event has been compiled into a single video for your viewing pleasure.

OiOiO : Talk To The Nature

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

A very inspiring project that is a collaboration between me and oranghutan for Earth Day. The main objective of the installation is to create a space which the audience, mainly childrens will be able to talk to the nature through a tangile interface out of keyboard or mouse.

It was a challenging task since we’ve to work on a very tight schedule for troubleshooting on the scripts. For this project, Macromedia Flash 8 was used for the entire backend and most of the function are scripted except the animation which are completed inside After Effects. The venue for the installation is set in front of Cold Storage, Ikano Power Centre, P.J.
