This is taken in Australia during a school trip, one of the places we visited , this is their fruit farm. We got to see the orange “package” process.

I think its interactive because we could get to help the people there through out the whole process of it from picking to sorting.

 

 

This is also taken in Australia during a school trip,this one is f rom the Australia zoo and that huge thing is a Wombat.

We got to feed the wombat and touch it, really nice feeling , however only 1 or 2 of us had a chance to hold it and i wasnt one of the two .

Its the feeding part , really that is interactive the seeing how the wombat react when u try to feed it but its been 4 years now, i cant remember what we feed it.

This video was taken in march 2009 , during my trip to Vietnam at their so called theme park they had this section with many many animals. Fish , birds , snakes, bats, turtles etc.

So we were taking a video as we walk.

This is interactive to me because the monkeys came close to us when we were there before we were there , the monkeys were high up they climbed their way down as we moved closer cant show this for now as we are only allowed max of 30 seconds the actual video is about a minute or so.

IMM Flowchart

Visit http://www.moma.org/interactives/projects/2001/whatisaprint/print.html and break it into a information structure.

Visit http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2008/colorchart/flashsite/index.html .

Question: How to do the flowchart for this site? Is flow chart the best way?

Answer: I think its gonna take a 2 – 3 storey tall  by 3-4 storey wide paper (exaggeration intended) to do a flow chart for this site as it has up to 6 levels the flow chart would  be so wide and the person who tries to do it would have difficulties trying to.

However, i think a flow chart is still possible. Perheps split it up in to different categories and do a few flow charts like , “ Menu >View works >Artist ” let that  be 1 flow chart , then from there onwards u do a flow chart starting off from Artist .

Yes, maybe we will have to do more flowcharts and might be more work BUT i think it would be the best way to be organized instead of doing a whole flowchart and confused where you stopped.

 

 

Question: Do you need text to understand a story ? Is it better to read a book w/o text and have just pictures and sound?

Answer: I think without text , it lets the user’s imagination run wild, different people would have different levels of understanding the story and 2 people could be listening to it at the same time but would see the story in different ways.

However it was a new experience to me, to be reading a book like that interesting but maybe not the best way to tell a story.

- 3 examples of passive, reactive & interactive in everyday life.

Passive: Dish washing, Painting the house, Cleaning the fan blade

Reactive: Being hit on the head,  Knocking into someone, Prank calls.

Interactive:Meetings, Phone chatting, price negotiation with shop owner.

- 3 examples of passive, reactive & interactive on the Net.

Passive:Doing reserch, Reading Emails, Reading news.

Reactive:Watching videos on Youtube, Playing games on facebook, Virus Alert.

Interactive:Instant messaging, Playing MMORPG, Surfing websites such as dontclick.it or yolk.com.sg

-Which aspect of each example is considered interactive?

All of the example listed under Interactive(Everydaylife or Net) are interactive.

Instant messaging for example, is interactive because you get feedback from your friend each time you do something , or the GREAT “NUDGE” button that everyone loves to use, that is also interactive as you click it , it shakes your chat window and does some ringing sound.

Websites such as dontclick.it is also interactive because things will happen when you try to click while using the website.

-Is there a varied degree of interactivity in each example?

Yes, there is. Each interactive activity has different levels of interactivity for example. We compare phone chatting to price negotiation with shop owner. 

In phone chatting , u can only speak thats only sound interaction. while in price negotiation , you can move your hands head or even feet while negotiating so in this case . Price negotiation is much more interactive thatn phone chatting.
