For my final project, I’m very interesting in interactive design and visual effect. And as we all know, a special visual effect can bring different feeling to spectator, such as, scared, relaxed, magic, tense.

The present age knowledge economy society rhythm changes quick, intensity enlargement, people working pressure and the life pressure also increase along with it. Some people smash instant noodles and biscuit packets, and even open Coca-Cola cans to let off some steam, those examples show that the people do not have a right way to reduce pressure. The people can take the edge off stress by practicing relaxation techniques. These include deep-breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, yoga, visualization, hypnosis and massage.

So, I choose the visualization to reduce pressure. Personally, I want to use 3D Projection Mapping tool to help them. Giving them a magic visual effect, and the people can interact with the objects that are projected onto the facade of the wall.

Firstly, I think all of the projects start from a dark space where has no outside influence, no music, no light.

Secondly, the people can try to make any moves, and then the wall will show different effect. For example, if the people do a flying action, and then the wall will show some transformative effect, and so on.

I have only rough conceptual idea for my final project. I’m very interested in communication between a person and a person, and also people and technology.  I want to research about missing communication between people, and work with how people can find missing communication. It can be a communication with myself, or it can be a deeper communication between friends rather than just saying hello on Facebook. We are now having a lot of ways of communication, but I think we are loosing our truly communication. Especially, the communication with myself such as meditation( I can’t let me just stay calm and think about myself and something deep and meaningful because I cannot stop watching Facebook, Youtube, or chatting on the phone.)  In the reading, You are not a gadget, Jaron Lanier says, “You have to find a way to be yourself before you can share yourself.” Likewise, I want to catch people’s attention from the technology black hole and bring them on to nature and more human being activities.

I’m thinking to use 3D Projection Mapping tool that can interact with people and get attention from the people, who are too much into Facebook, Twitter and etc., to encourage them to have a break time by getting away from social network connections and concentrating on real communication.

Rough idea for that is project nature environment which is beautiful and peaceful to the ceiling or the wall. For example, when people are sitting on the chair and using lap top too much, the birds in the projected nature environment  make some beautiful tweet sounds to get attention from the people and encourage them to get out of social network connection environment  and have time to think more meaningful things in their lives.
