By providing opportunities for discovery that didn’t exist in the classroom before, we are transforming the shape of the classroom to a model of engagement, where each student becomes a resource to the class.

是次Siggraph Asia會議基本上共分幾個不同部份，包括展覽，講座，論文報告及分享。

[互動設備方案”Sixth Sense” ，由美國麻省理工媒體研究室博士生Pranav Mistry 所研發的個人數碼化綜合平台，試圖把數碼化資訊跳出營幕的框框，顯示於我們日常生活中的物件及空間，更重要的就是可以讓用戶與這些介面互動，捕捉，按下，拿取，以至於設備之間轉移。成功地示範了未來個人隨身設備的發展路向。由於現在作品是由坊間可以容易找到的器材（如USB攝像頭，微型投影機，有色指頭標櫼及手提電腦等）所組成，因此在技術上是可行的，可以預見從此發展下去，在不久的將來即可組成商業化產品，投入市場，將切底改變現有的數碼生活模式。亦由於現在該作品大量使用現有器材，因此亦為他的示範操作，帶來不穩定的因素。另外，由於使用一般有色指頭標櫼作為操作輸入，導致容易與環境產生輸入誤差。最後，此作品案例資料對我校DMD學生除了產生示範作用外，亦預示了未來個人隨身設備的可能性，更可建基於此設計出一系列相應的應用軟件或服務方案。

Microsoft 於英國倫敦的研究所開發了Dragonfly 互動設計樣板開發平台(Interactive Prototype)，類似現有的Arduino, Gainner, Wiring 等開發平台，但比它們更完整，更齊備。它除了微型控制器作為平台核心外，亦具備十多款輸入、輸出、操控、顯示等零件。創作人員（互動設計師或互動藝術家）只需把這些組件如同玩Lego積木般把它們隨意組合，便可輕易製作出互動作品的電路區塊。另外，這些微型控制器以及其他零件均附上工業用CAD圖電子檔，方便開發人員可以使用CAD工具軟件令作品的設計可以配合這些核心組件，預留位置，方便安裝，之後透過快速注模成型技術3D Printer把模件生成，最後開發人只需把這些組件如同玩Lego積木般把它們和Dragonfly的電子組件組合即可。 Dragonfly 互動設計樣板開發平台的核心編程語言Visual Basic C#，相信對一般創作人員（互動設計師或互動藝術家）是需要一點時間學習、適應。另外，Microsoft 這品牌的產品穩定性，以及其企業良心，會否稱霸於一向鼓吹自由創作的互動設計開發平台(Interactive Prototype)亦是教人稍為擔心的地方。

Yoshiyuki Tomino 富野由悠季，三十多年前創作高達動畫，開創一系列高達動畫影響往後所有機械人的發展。他在是次會議中直斥日本同業近年日本動畫注重技術；輕視故事；大部份日本動畫的故事忽略了敘事手法的重要，故事角色末能觸動人心。

什麼人適合讀設計?

但…，對不起，因生性蠢鈍，
第一次用Radio Da Da 試聽時，在下對它的介面也略感迷茫。
現特付上使用步驟的animated Gif，以助一眾迷途羔羊。

It is a useful website for you to have further study about Interactive design related mathematics.

Most of students think that I was strong in Maths at the time of secondary school.

My answer is NO!!!

I just have studied AS-Level Statistic only, the examination result is bad….very bad… 
It was because I was doesn’t have any “goal” or “purpose” to study it…
Unless I want to know more about “Mark Six”

But now, I love to play with interactive stuff… make some interactive stuff..
So I pick up my school bag again to learn more about Maths.
