This week, we are going to present our project ideas to the class and get somefeedbacks, so we need to choose an idea from last week's discussion. However, we are consider about two design ideas and which idea is fit to our project, one its the e-business card and the other one is interactive story book. Therefore, we decided to present this two ideas to class and hope we can get some feedbacksand suggestions.
e-business card
The aim of this idea is we try to make people to exchange thier personal information more convenient. The design concept is to save personal information in the card and combine with mobile phone, so how to achive the process is simplytouch the mobile phone to another and it transfer the information immediately. For example, using in business situation or sometimes when you need to fill the form about your personal information.
Feedback - many similar products have been used, and need to consider about interactive part and some security issues.
Interactive story book
The purpose for this idea is makes children feel more interesting when readingthe book. We design different kind of flash animations and combine with other technology into the story book. The animations would replace the original contexts and aslo design some buttons to get interactive with children.
Feedback - its good idea for the project, but still need to think about how to interactive with children and some technology issues. Moreover, focus on thedesign points anout sustanability.

Week 4 - Design project ideas
This week we started designing the ideas for the semester project. At first, we wasted lots of time for the brainstorming at beginning. Our ideas have been restricted because we spent too much time on worried about the technology issues. However, we took one step back and started focus on the target users and the sustanability for the design process, thenwe consider the technology isses. After the discussion, we got some different ideas.
1. E-business Card
The idea is from when people try to get the personal information form eachother in business situation, most people will give a bussiness card or write the information on the paper. However, its easy to lost the cards and papers and also consider about waste papers for the enviroment issues. Therefore, we try to design an e-business card that can save information and then combine with the mobile phone technology. When using the e-business card, people just need to toch the mobilephone from eachother, and their information can be transform autmatically.
2. Bus reminder mechine
At first,the target user for this device is for blind people that cant see the bus timetable on notice board. Therefore, our design idea is build a voice device that install in bus stops. The device will annouce the number of the bus when bus arriving, so blind people can hear the sound and catch the correct bus. Moreover, we also consider about the technology that might be use in this design idea and how to achieve the device.
Technology - RFID technologyInstall the different RFID tags into different buses and each tags have different codes. The RFIDreader will sensor the code then send annouce information. In addition, consider about the sustanability,we are going to use solar energy in this device.
3.Holographic story book
The design idea is really like an "electron book". As we know when we read the book, we read throughpage by page and sometimes it feels really boring for childrens. Therefore, we are going to design different kind of holographic pictures, and use projector display on blank pages. This design can makes children feel more interesting when reading, and also save papers in order to consider about sustanability.
