RFIDs don't require the markers on the block itself, they can be embedded within the cube. They also have quite a large range, so while putting the blocks together, they don't necessarily have to be touching each other, unlike Augmented Reality. This makes the interface more flexible, and easier to play with.<br />
<br />
Each block will have 4 working faces, with an RFID Tag embedded inside each face. The table surface will have an RFID Reader embedded under it, so it reads the Tag(s) of the faces which are placed on the table (The side of the cude that faces down).<br />

There will be no 'Comparison' block, since that is mainly a tool, and does not add to the narrative building. When two characters are placed together, the comparison of their sizes is automatically generated on screen.<br />
The 'Properties' are separated from the 'Modifiers'. This makes the structure more flexible, and increases the possibilities of interactions. <br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(As of now I am working with four faces per block, keeping in mind the time frame. This system is open to expansion though.)</span></i><br />

<ul><li>Represent the mathematics visually<br />
-No numbers<br />
-Graphical representation<br />
-Animation<br />
-True or false- Use the compare block to test, instead of calculate</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Feedback from teachers at M.A.I.S:</b><br />
<ul><li>Add an element of ‘process’ to the mathematical data</li>
<li>Can the child map out his/her flow? How he/she arrived at any particular problem, solution or story?</li>
<li>Since this is a mathematical tool, it will be more effective with the use of numbers, instead of a graphical representation (Unless the math concepts are more ‘spatial’ than ‘numerical’)</li>
</ul><br />
<b>To-do this week:</b><br />
<ul><li>Finalize the system</li>
<li>Character explorations</li>

<br />
<b>THE 5 BLOCKS:</b><br />
<br />
<b>People, Animals</b> (Characters)<br />
The player starts with choosing a person/animal/both. Each cube has 5 working sides, each representing a different person/animal.<br />

<b>HOW TO USE:</b> <br />
<b>Pick your character/s: </b><br />
Start by picking a person or/and animal. <br />
Character properties: Name, Age, Weight and Height, Description.<br />
<br />

<b>Comparisons: </b><br />
Compare the size/weight/height of characters. You can see these comparisons in different representations, eg. percentages, fractions, etc. therefore learning about the relationship between different mathematical tools.<br />
<br />

<b>Actions: </b><br />
Animate your character by using the ‘Action’ block. When the action is placed next to the character, the character is performs the corresponding action. If the action block is placed BETWEEN two characters, both characters perform the same action (Diagram 2). If it is placed near one, only that one is performs the action (Diagram 3).<br />
<br />

<b>Modifiers:</b> <br />
Modify your actions by adding the ‘Modifier’ block. Watch your character perform the action at a faster/slower rate, calculate the time taken, the distance traversed etc.<br />

<b>KEY ELEMENTS:</b> <br />
Characterization and Humour<br />
<br />
<b>EXAMPLES OF NARRATIVES:</b><br />
<b>Make your own problem:</b><br />
Make a man run, check the distance covered.<br />
Then make a mouse run at the same speed, and check the distance covered. What is the difference? Why? Then double the speed of the mouse and see the difference. Try the same with an elephant.<br />
<br />
<b>Humourous situations:</b><br />
Make a man jump, add a mouse to the scene, and then double the speed of the man! <br />
Then make the man run away from the mouse, and draw the mouse running at triple the speed of the man!<br />
<br />
<b>Random:</b><br />
Make a baby dance, in slow motion. Then make him squat, and increase the speed. Then try making the horse dance with the baby!Akshataa Vishwanathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275555473909756435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265806894951184864.post-43876048440857947452010-08-30T18:35:00.001+05:302010-09-06T17:26:12.026+05:30Simplify<b>Figuring out the system and interactions:</b><br />
To make it easier to understand how the model works, I started exploring the permutations and combinations with building blocks. I realized that the system is still quite complicated, and including different scenarios and situations which interact with each other would be too difficult to interact with, as well as program.<br />

<b>Meeting with Victor:</b><br />
Adding stories within the tool is not necessary- Let the child explore and play with the options and create their own narrative.<br />
In the current system, there are fixed options within the scenario, which diverts from the main focus of “mathematics”-Too complex (to understand, interact with, and program)<br />
SIMPLIFY- There can be many options with just 3-4 blocks, and is easier for a child to understand/play with.Akshataa Vishwanathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275555473909756435noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265806894951184864.post-50221730009312211492010-08-29T02:39:00.000+05:302010-09-06T17:26:12.027+05:30Categorizing Content<div id="__ss_5078106" style="width: 425px;"><object height="355" id="__sse5078106" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=categories-100828160743-phpapp01&stripped_title=categorizing-content" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed name="__sse5078106" src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=categories-100828160743-phpapp01&stripped_title=categorizing-content" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></div>Akshataa Vishwanathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275555473909756435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265806894951184864.post-63837468273570515822010-08-27T16:19:00.013+05:302010-08-27T17:13:00.296+05:30Concept: Second Draft<b>Loopholes in the first draft:</b><br />
After speaking to some people about my earlier concept, I realized that it was a little clinical in its approach- Unless a child was motivated enough, with a high interest in mathematics, he wouldn't want to explore the possibilites of the blocks. I needed to make the interface more user friendly and fun- something that a child would be interested in playing with, and therefore engaging with mathematics. This version focusses more on situations, characters and storytelling, still maintaining the interactivity and exploratory aspect of the earlier version.<br />
<br />

Making an <b>interactive mathematical narrative</b>; <b>building your own story</b> with the help of scenarios. All interactions and scenarios focus on the <b>application of math in everyday situations</b>.<br />

There are four types of <b>building blocks</b>- <b>You</b> (Character), <b>Travel</b>, <b>People</b> (This includes 3 blocks of real world people and scenarios that can be interacted with) and <b>Places</b> (3 blocks of places where children can learn about the application of math). Each face of each block corresponds to a different property of that person/scenario. (For example, the “Travel” block, will have an auto, car, train and bus on the faces of the block respectively)<br />
<br />
You begin by choosing a character, and this character then interacts with different people/places/transport mathematically by arranging the cubes (with respective faces) in any order- Like <b>building a storyboard</b>.<br />

<br />
A set of blocks representing a real world scenario, which can be used to build an interactive “mathematical” narrative. These blocks are categorized into "Elements", "Properties" and "Tools".<br />
<ul><li><b>Elements</b> will bring a characters/objects into the narrative.</li>
<li><b>Properties</b> will add Motion/Action/Direction to the elements.</li>
<li><b>Tools</b> will calculate the mathematics corresponding to the properties- For example, measuring, comparison etc.</li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUJ7gFA8uk4BbWX_7ZA2wsXokG8hNsDPcvXEHTyq_pAaTO0T36t9damQjY81EhzhzPraL5OfE1Ua8iT1dgOFJRuQQa5916Ygo9CKmpB6wnGJajcsobLfUHPF44kw-5l97kaTWMbfnNH7k/s1600/ImageInteractiveBuildingBlocks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUJ7gFA8uk4BbWX_7ZA2wsXokG8hNsDPcvXEHTyq_pAaTO0T36t9damQjY81EhzhzPraL5OfE1Ua8iT1dgOFJRuQQa5916Ygo9CKmpB6wnGJajcsobLfUHPF44kw-5l97kaTWMbfnNH7k/s400/ImageInteractiveBuildingBlocks.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><ul><li>Each face of each block corresponds to an action/animation. Each cube has 5 working faces (Options within that category- For example: The different sides of the “Character” cube will have a man, woman, child, dog, insect respectively)</li>
<li>The blocks can be placed in any combination to form an interactive “mathematical” narrative. There will also be a "Scenario" (Marketplace, Bank, Kitchen, Travel) block to set the landscape and goal.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Medium:</b> Using stop motion animations with superimposed graphics.<br />
<br />
<b>Why this:</b><br />
<ul><li>Real world context: Looking at data mathematically, directly relating to application. Showing the mathetmatics in common daily scenarios. </li>
<li>Exploring how different combinations/situations affect each other because of mathematics. </li>
<li>The blocks are categorized into “Elements”, “Properties” and “Tools”, so it is made clear that the interactive narrative is driven by mathematics. </li>
<li>Can be used to discover, explore and engage with mathematics through the story created- Permutations and combinations- Make your own problem.</li>
<li>Can be used as a tool to solve math problems- which will help them understand the context, and relate them to real world examples.</li>
<li>Focussing on basic mathematics and scenarios, but can be taken forward to demonstrate a range of concepts.</li>
<li>Shows connections between different mathematical tools (Fractions, Percentages, Decimals etc.) </li>
</ul><br />
<b>How it works:</b><br />
<ul><li>Each face of each block has a marker, which corresponds to a particular animation. </li>
<li>These animations are projected on the screen when that face is recognized by the webcam. (For example, face up. When the "Character" block is placed, the side which is facing up will be recognized. To change the character that appears, that respective side should be faced up) </li>
<li>The animations, as well as all the permutations and combinations of interactions between 2 or more blocks will have to be programmed to behave according to the narrative/sequence of events. </li>

<b>What I need to work on now:</b><br />
<ul><li>Simplification: Making sure there are only a few blocks, and each permutation and combination works (For example, as of now, the "tree", if placed with "run", will not work)- Reworking categories.</li>
<li>Plot: Each landscape will need to have a certain goal/challenge, to make it more exciting for a child- Storyboarding.</li>
<li>The form of the "block" is open to change.</li>
<li>Figuring out size, the "Play Area"</li>
