Interactive Media Informatics: Exhibitions

Interactive Media Informatics had our IT Project Show 2011 on the 18th of March on Lvl 5 in IIT School!
Its a showcase for our graduating seniors to invite the public to view their major projects. Major projects are done in the 3rd year and takes out a huge percentage of our final marks and a huge amount of time to complete. So after all the hardwork, heres their opporunity to showcase their projects. Below are some of the photos of our students at the showcase and also some project videos!

Project Supervisor: Mr Rick Toh

The purpose of the Interactive Digital Media Ideation Platform (IDMIP) project is to create an interactive platform to allow the use of objects to represent ideas in the forum, and for people to share their ideas which can be viewed by all users. The platform will also serve as a medium to bring interested parties together to work on an idea. The IDMIP also provides a better representation of ideas through the use of animation and provide a richer collaboration experience for users to express their ideas.

The IDMIP is a collaborative project between Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design & Technology (IADT) and Temasek Polytechnics School of Informatics & IT.

Motion Capture and 3D Video of Shaolin Martial Arts consists of a book with accompanying multimedia materials on DVD.

Venerable Gao Can’s disciples were invited to the motion capture lab at the National University of Singapore (NUS) to perform various Shaolin martial arts moves. Advanced 3D technologies were used to capture their body movements, which were then applied to a 3D model of the Venerable, to generate a realistic animation of the monk’s movements. A final video composite, including a realistic model of a Shaolin Temple, was then produced.

This project was done with in collaboration with Mr. Chan Chow Wah, a Singaporean cultural anthropologist from the Cultural Compass Project and the NUS School of Computing.

Users can also rate, comment and share details of the eatery plots via Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook.

Project FML is a collaboration between Tribal DDB and Temasek Polytechnic School of Informatics & IT.

Hey y'all!

First off, I'm terribly apologetic, this post has been delayed for quite a while ever since my MacBook Pro died on me - With a whole lifetime's worth of work. *sniff* Shall go into detail of this in the next post though.

Yeah. Anyway, back to the topic. This post is on the AIDS/HIV exhibition which complemented the AIDS/HIV talk.

While the talk focused on the disease itself, the exhibition focused on sexual intercourse & how safe are you from HIV/AIDS when you're engaging in the activity itself. It also featured testimonies from some young people who contracted the disease on how it altered their lives, forever.

Well, my take on the matter is, before you decide to have sex with anyone, you have to make sure that the other person is not infected with the disease, promiscuous & you have to find out about their sexual history too.

Why do I say this? Well, all these factors are those that directly affect the probability of your sexual experience contracting you the disease. Well, you obviously don't have sex with someone else that has HIV/AIDS right? Also, if the other person is one that has done it with many other people, then the probability of you contracting the disease is directly amplified too.

Therefore..

DON'T HAVE SEX UNTIL YOU'RE MARRIED!

Why do I say this? When you get married, of course, your spouse would probably have made sure that he/she is HIV/AIDS free before they actually decide that they want to woo you & stay with you for life. Also, it is the moral responsibility of a husband/wife to make sure the person they want to stay with for life don't catch HIV/AIDS right?

This can also help to reduce the incidences of teenage pregnancy, or the contraction of other STDs such as Syphilis, Gonorrhoea et cetera. Sex is not something to be taken lightly, & should only be performed with a person you are really in love in, & not because you desire another person.

Please, don't have sex with just anyone. Even if you are your partner's, well, only partner, think twice. It's a decision that sticks with you for life. & yeah, it's a choice that you cannot undo. You might end up regretting it for life.

Well, yeah, that's all I have for y'all today! Hope that this post can let everyone know more about sex, HIV/AIDS & what to or not to do.

XOXO, y'know y'love me.
