The document proposes an interactive wall installation aimed at addressing social problems caused by an overreliance on technology in urban environments. It would detect people nearby and use audio prompts to encourage interaction between them. The goal is to bring people together and make them more aware of their surroundings by incorporating traditional games and communication methods in a new technological format. Research was conducted through surveys and interviews to inform the design of the installation. It would use projection mapping, programming, and motion detection to tag people as they walk by and play friendly greeting messages to initiate contact between them.
2. The Proposal
Research Topic
Social Network Lifestyles Within Urban Environment
Problem Identification
How they adapt to nowadays lifestyle & forgetting the past.
Communication problem among teenagers.
Busy with all new gadget, new social network app.
Forgetting we used to use postal services
Aim & Objective
To restore and educate urban people how we use to be
Motivation
Nowadays, we have loss the sense of doing things more manually. (exp: Receiving card from
friends.) .
I am motivated to make people use back all the good things we actually used to do/communicate.
Ideation & Concept
My idea to provide the opportunity for people to interact with each other & the same time be able to
use old method to communicate to people.
Review, Analysis & Precedence studies
Design Approach
Discover the method for making people to use or interact. Make them do something manually.
3. Research & Analysis
Do some survey on social problem and interview on knowing people interest
or wilingness.
After the interview, people do want to get involve old stuff things / games / approach
4. Idea Development 1
Ideas Part 1
Wall / Floor Interaction Games
Based on the traditional games survey, have develop the contain into wall interaction games. This is
actually the improvement of the result of the survey.
The Survey:
5. Idea Development 1 - P2
Within the result, people choose this traditional games :
From the original game (above), I have develop the idea with same approach. A wall / floor interaction
games that used LED button. It is about connecting people and make people play together.
1.
7. Idea Development 2
Ideas Part 2
Concept Approach : Wall Interact Installation (Real Time Based)
Based on the early stage of FYP, I have decided to involve in a real time Interaction, after go
through all the research about the social network issue, it's finally comes to final development
of idea. For the FYP, I decided to do a "Wall Interaction". This wall interaction compress a
combination of various method such as mapping / normal projection, programming, Kinect
Detection and involving people interaction. The Idea is being generate because of the social
problems (nowadays lifestyles) that teenager becoming less aware of communicating to close
friends and people around them. This Installation is all about bringing people closer, and
make people aware of the surrounding.
8. Contextual Studies
Geografical Context
The Wall Installation will be place at particular places in KL such as Pavillion
or a crowded places.
Social Context
My final year project elaborates about social problem in urban lifestyle that
been known since we achieved technologies, is it not disadvantages on
having tech, it is more about how people handle / adapt to new things
9. Content development
Wall Interact Installation
This is a installation that involve human interaction. It objective is to connect people
around and stop them from ignoring to the people around them. There wall interaction
will going to need a spacey area for this to work. This is a rough idea of the installation,
there may be a bit of changes at the end.
10. Content development – P2
The Flow Process.
1. The thing started with a empty wall interaction, the only thing appear is the wire frame
animation of background layer.
2. The tag text started to appear after a person being detect by a webcam or kinect when
passing through the hall way.
3. When people walk toward the other people and clash with each other , The speaker will
produce a sound like “Hi”, “Hei”, "Hello". This will be noticed by the people and
indirectly make them look to each other.
11. Content development – P3
Using Sarcasm greeting word
such as in this website: http://steelx.tripod.com/sarcasm.htm
You're not worth talking to.
Talking to you doesn't bring any benefits.
I do have a life too, you know.
What you Looking at!
Ingnore me please!
Oh Hye there empty spaces!
Im Alone now!
There no one around me, can you see that!
14. Final Synopsis
Synopsis of project
This Interactive wall Installation is about People who are less
communicating with each other and How they adapt to technologies
lifestyle and becoming obsess with the new current behaviour.

connect people around and stop them from ignoring to the people
around them.
