From hzhu@risd.edu Mon Nov 1 21:02:02 2004 Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2004 19:53:11 -0500 From: He Zhu To: daf@cs.brown.edu Subject: Re: cs137 Final Project ideas due Monday Project Proposal, My final visualization will consist of the of a series of clipping and partical planes, controled by a wrist mounted device with a virtual menu. Basic Enviroment, the basic enviroment will be that of the cave. The default color will be black, but the user will be able to change the background color, based on his or her needs. Interface objects, the user interface objects will cosist of a finger mounted clickable selector button, a wrist mounted menu device and a head mounted recorder to record observations and data. The selector button's primary function is to select move and highlight elements in the visualization and the menu. It should be about the size of a watch battery and be attached to the intex finger with a bandaid. The wrist mounted menu device, is a large bracelet with buttons and a display screen. The buttons will bring up various menus, and the display pane will display data. Virtual toolset. The virtual toolset will consist of a series of menus that ca be activated from the wrist mounted controller. Genre, the icons will consist of streamlines, eeal or partical type icons that are individually selectable to reveal data. My visualization will favor readability over visual appeal, simple textures and flat colors will be the primary vehicle, 3d texture will only be used sparingly and only if the further the readbility of the data. Interaction mode, the arm mounted control device is designed to give the viewer as much control as possible over a variety of factors. Animation icon flow can all be controlled from this device. Sorry, if this is unclear, it will become much more clearly defined when you get to see the drawings. >>> Daniel Acevedo Feliz 10/28/04 5:53 PM >>> Hola, A reminder that there's stuff about the final project due Monday.
