Construction of teaching system of public art major using CMOS image sensor technology

The traditional public art education model has many drawbacks. After all, this teaching model is the most common teaching model. Most colleges and universities still rely on the traditional teaching mode. This teaching mode is not attractive, boring, and low cost, so the popularity rate is high. The digital interactive design with multimedia courseware as the main body has played a great role in promoting the teaching of public art education in colleges and universities. In this paper, when teachers use multimedia courseware for teaching, because the computer cannot process physical signals, part of the hardware is a converter that converts physical signals such as light and pictures received by the CMOS sensor into digital signals and inputs them to digital signals and analog signals. Through the converter, the two-way transmission of teacher and student information in the teaching process of public art majors from the perspective of diversified public art was realized. At the same time, the information elements of sound, image and text were integrated into the interactive works of public art majors from the perspective of diverse public art, so as to stimulate students’ interest in public art learning. Combined with the application of CMOS image sensor technology in diversified public art teaching, a questionnaire survey was conducted to explore the satisfaction of students in public art education and teaching of colleges and universities by CMOS image sensor technology, 50% of the students agreed with the proposal in this article. In this paper, the diversified public art teaching based on CMOS image sensor technology was derived outside the classroom, and the teaching was related to students’ life, so as to improve the artistic atmosphere of the campus and truly improve the teaching effect of public art education in colleges and universities.

LOD of a Computational Numerical Model for Evaluating the Mechanical Safety of Steel Structures

The article addressed the relevant problem of building information modeling. The suggestion was to introduce a BIM-based expert system into the design process. The proposed expert system encompasses the development of three levels of detail for a calculation model and digital interactive models of applicable regulatory documents. The proposed expert model has a modular structure, and it has a control module, a calculation scheme development module, a module for interaction with FEM solvers, and a module in charge of the database of interactive digital design standards. Standard operating conditions and non-standard emergency impacts are taken into account. The case of design standards for steel structures was used to describe the interaction between the expert system and the information model, and the characteristics and the structure of a digital model of a regulatory document. The data, calculated using the proposed LOD, were compared with the experimental findings. The structure of a real industrial building was designed, and its safety was evaluated. The proposed approach is a proven method applicable for designing safe bearing structures. In addition, their adequate deformation is most accurately taken account of at the stage of normal accident-free operation and in emergency situations.

Digital Interactive Design and Robot-Assisted Preparation Experiment of Tooth Veneer Preparation: An in Vitro Proof-of-Concept

In the fixed prosthesis process dental prosthesis treatment, the dentist needs to conceive the morphology of the tooth preparation and make numerous micro-adjustments by manual operation. This study aims to establish a digital design system for accurate designing of veneer preparation and study the trajectory planning of the robot-assisted preparation. According to the standard operation requirements, the projection line segmentation method based on point drawing is proposed for interactive selection to ensure the margin smoothness of the preparation area. The preparation depth is parameterized, and the foldback point correction method based on secondary segmentation is used for repairing the offset preparation area to ensure surface smoothness. The fenestration preparation model was obtained in the digital interactive design software. The model is divided into two feature areas which are interpolated by the B-spline curve and NURBS surface, respectively. The isoparametric curve method is used to plan the preparation trajectory. The experimental and theoretical values of the target feature points from the X, Y and Z coordinate directions were also calculated and analyzed. The experiment is carried out by the physical prototype of the tooth preparation robot. The maximum error of the feature points on the preparation are 0.180 mm, 0.104 mm and 0.142 mm in X, Y and Z directions, respectively. The confidence interval of the system error is stable within 0.30 mm. The error of the feature points verifies the feasibility of the digital interactive design system and the correctness of the trajectory planning of tooth veneer preparation. The system could have the potential to assist dentists in the precise design of the veneer preparation, improve the processing efficiency and ensure the effect of tooth veneer prosthesis.

Designing with Genius Loci: An Approach to Polyvocality in Interactive Heritage Interpretation

Co-design with communities interested in heritage has oriented itself towards designing for polyvocality to diversify the accepted knowledges, values and stories associated with heritage places. However, engagement with heritage theory has only recently been addressed in HCI design, resulting in some previous work reinforcing the same realities that designers set out to challenge. There is need for an approach that supports designers in heritage settings in working critically with polyvocality to capture values, knowledges, and authorised narratives and reflect on how these are negotiated and presented in the designs created. We contribute “Designing with Genius Loci” (DwGL)—our proposed approach to co-design for polyvocality. We conceptualised DwGL through long-term engagement with volunteers and staff at a UK heritage site. First, we used ongoing recruitment to incentivise participation. We held a series of making workshops to explore participants’ attitudes towards authorised narratives. We built participants’ commitments to collaboration by introducing the common goal of creating an interactive digital design. Finally, as we designed, we enacted our own commitments to the heritage research and to participants’ experiences. These four steps form the backbone of our proposed approach and serve as points of reflexivity. We applied DwGL to co-creating three designs: Un/Authorised View, SDH Palimpsest and Loci Stories, which we present in an annotated portfolio. Grounded in research through design, we reflect on working with the proposed approach and provide three lessons learned, guiding further research efforts in this design space: (1) creating a conversation between authorised and personal heritage stories; (2) designing using polyvocality negotiates voices; and (3) designs engender existing qualities and values. The proposed approach places polyvocality foremost in interactive heritage interpretation and facilitates valuable discussions between the designers and communities involved.

Information-Based Development Trend of Building Skin Design

From the perspective of Information design science, this thesis discusses the fact that in the transition of the entire society toward informatization, building skins have unprecedentedly picked up more complex functions and borne more social responsibilities, as shown in the following aspects: As the interaction between outdoor advertising media and humans and environment, as the media that link up indoor and outdoor information and as the media for indoor householders to express their needs, the infiltration of being digital into the architectural field has made building skins the interface for human-computer interaction in a broad sense. Accordingly, in addition to professional skills, architectural designers must keep on learning the knowledge and methods of digital interactive design and develop the awareness of studying inhabitants' behaviors. Architectural design has become an integration process of massive information in a way that is different from traditional design ideas. Therefore, designers need to look for more appropriate building skin design methods in this new period of architectural design.

Design Studies—What Is it Good For?

ABSTRACTThis article treats the rise, and perhaps fall, of Design Thinking as a prompt to ask: “What is Design studies?” or rather, “What could Design studies be?” Using the heuristic of a sWOt analysis, it is argued that recent shifts in cultural theory toward material practices afford Design studies opportunities to expand beyond a mere liberal arts supplement to the education of designers. However, Design studies is facing challenges from shifts in both the discipline and business of digital interaction design. It is consequently concluded that Design studies needs to move beyond its current pluralism.

Sound and Silence in the Line: Re-Reading Turkish Islamic Calligraphy for Interactive Media Design

The purpose of the research reported is to argue that “formal” design solutions of past cultures can generate innovative ideas in interactive media design. The authors ask how a traditional art in which body motion is used, namely Turkish Islamic calligraphy—Khatt—can help create innovative solutions for digital interaction design. Taking inspiration from Khatt, the authors have developed a project with the aim of allowing an audience with no prior calligraphy background to experience the performance process of calligraphy by reproducing it themselves. By creating a performance interface that provides predictability components, the authors have correlated the visual compositions with sound.

An interactive digital design system for corn modeling

An interactive digital design system for corn modeling is presented in this paper. The system is designed and developed based on the growth model of corn, thus the digital design for corn is suitable for biological and physiological characteristics according to the natural growth process of corn. The framework is supported by the agricultural knowledge model in steps: knowledge model, mathematical model, geometric model and display model. Specially, a template-based method is implemented for leaf modeling. The system is composed of several key function modules: computer graphic design, template, geometric modeling, database support, data processing and graphic–user interface, and developed by C++ program language based on OpenGL graphic library. The main functions of this system include plant type design, organs of corn model design, plant model design, corn colony design, display of colony and calculation of light distribution in the plant canopy layer. As an interactive digital design tool for corn modeling, the system provides a convenient way for rapid three-dimensional data acquisition and construction.

The Visual Rhetoric of Data Displays: The Conundrum of Clarity*

The visual rhetoric of data displays (e.g., charts, graphs, maps) has changed profoundly over the past 50 years as a result of research in display techniques, the application of traditional and emerging rhetorical approaches, and the democratizing effects of data design technology. Perhaps in no other visual realm than data design is the notion of clarity more critical or more contested. Indeed the ascendancy of rhetorical approaches was initiated by the perceptual/cognitive science of data design, which in seeking to identify optimal display techniques, fostered a concern for ethics and evoked the universality and minimalism of modernist aesthetics. The rhetoric of adaptation, which emphasizes the variability of audiences, purposes, and situational contexts, rendered clarity contingent and mutable-a moving target that requires constant attention. Social rhetoric considered data design as a collective construct, tethering clarity to visual discourse communities, convention-building, cultural values, and power. The concept of clarity has been further reoriented by the rhetoric of participation, which is fostered by interactive digital design that enables users to adapt displays according to their needs and interests.

Teaching new perspectives: digital space and Flash interactivity

This paper presents an approach to teaching interactive digital design that fuses traditional cinematic techniques in the treatment of screen space with the programming capabilities of Macromedia Flash to create web-based narrative systems that allow the user to create a unique and emotionally rewarding experience from a set of provided data ingredients. In this context designers are more like architects than authors, constructing a database of narrative possibilities that exist within the framework of a conceptual environment. By linking the elements of this database, the user can discover and co-author the narrative, generating a unique work that subverts the passive, voyeuristic role in which audiences experience traditional time-based narrative media and reshaping the relationship between the designer and user. In forming this relationship designers must link narrative and spatial considerations with design functionality that is grounded in the subjective elements of the user experience rather than simple usability goals.
