Design Research:

Exploring the Selection Factors of "Chair Space"

Background: "Chair Space" in the old city centre

Old Town: Tianjin's former Concession, a pleasant street scale to learn from.

Panelists: ZHONG Jia, LU He Instructor: YUAN Sinan, ZHAO Jianbo, GUO Mengdi

Topic Source: Planning Software Practice+ Urban Design Studio Pre-Study (2021, 3rd Year)

Technical Approach and Research Methodology

Chairspace: An outdoor informal space for interaction spontaneously transformed by local residents, with chairs as identifiers

Data: Spatial correlation of chairs and people

Data: Spatial quality indicators

Analysis and Conclusions

Factors significantly associated with chair space density:

Commercial Diversity

Commercial Density

Density of Concave and Convex Spaces

Elevation Permeability

Factors significantly associated with the density of people interaction:

Business Diversity

On-street Parking Rates (negative)

Design Process

Interactive Installation: Magnetic Powder Dancing with Sound

Technological Route

Material Property Test

Prototype Test

Component Test

Code Debugging

Panelists: ZHONG Jia, LIU Yinghan Instructor: BAI Xuehai, ZHANG Ye

Topic Source: Digital Design Studio (2022, 4th Year)

Refresh rate reaches 100ms each time after the change is not obvious, the amplitude of the action becomes smaller magnetic poles attract each other leading to the dispersion of magnetic powder.

Final Outcome

For music with strong rhythm, use 150/255 filter. For music with mainly vocals, use 50/255 filter.

Mixed Reality Game Development:

Encourage Social Contact through Playing

Storyboard

Script

1.The camera focuses on a city square with people looking down and engrossed in their MR glasses.

2.A wears the MR glasses and uses the interface switching function to project the real world into the glasses while showing the surrounding city dwellers and their planets.

3.A hears an audible cue that introduces the new city interaction interface, encouraging people to look up and interact with each other.

Interaction Flow

1.A meets B and they see each other's planets through MR glasses.

2.They admire each other's planets and decide to play the pitching game.

3.A and B throw their planets to each other's planets through gestures. If both players choose to throw each other's planets, the planets will produce a special effect of planets colliding with each other and trigger the projection of media buildings in the square.

1.When the projection starts, the passing audience is attracted to look up and watch the projected video.

2.Audience members can express their liking, liking or passing attitude by stepping into special areas.

3.When an audience likes the game, A and B will receive a notification of a shooting star.

4.The building captures the image of the participants and converts them into pictures displayed on the glasses.
