Mindmap & Background Research: Precedent Studies

These are some flash applications that I found as my precedent studies.

This is one more cool stuff that I found. This is the dancing application. Some hardware such as a headset and  a webcam are used to interact with this application. Your score is recorded based on your dancing skills. Super cool application.

 

Mindmap & Background Research: Field Research

My researches are all about the aesthetics value of a few buildings in Penang. The buildings that I have chosen are Khoo Kongsi building, Kapitan Keling Mosque building and Cheong Fatt Tze building.

All these buildings have their own aesthetics value and different stories behind the build-stage of the building itself.

Proposal and Concept

Concept

The concept I had chosen is info-photo gallery. This application allow people to view and feel the heritage and the culture of selected place and it also can be one of the source of the primary resources as the input in the application is originally taken by me.

The reason i choose this concept is people will be able to explore it by themselves the specific place. Each of the pictures in the application will  explain the information of the picture itself, the surrounding and the environment.

Target Audience
Young age around 18-25 years old
Tourists of Penang
Penang residents

The reasons why i choose them :

• To expose any information
• To explore new things that i even don't know
• To prevent all these heritage and architecture to distinct

Topic Given

This individual project is about the "Penang Heritage and Culture". We are given some sub-topic to choose to further our research.These are the topics :

• Living Heritage

• Culture and Lifestyle

• Heritage Building, Architecture and Environment

I had decided to research on  the third sub-topic which is Heritage Building, Architecture and Environment. The reason why i had chosen this topic is during my 3 days trip, i found that a lots of heritage building i found there and the texture and the design of the building and statue make me to research more on these.
