Our project requires us to map out an analog object into the digital world as an application. This application consists of interactions, properties, intent and relations after mapping it out from the analog object which makes it the user experience more interesting. We would also need to map the taglines into the application.The deliverables for this project are website documentation, Adobe Air for our application, CD/DVD of graphics and files for project.
Our chosen analog object for this studio project is the umbrella. We chose it because not many people came up with something interesting about the umbrella and its interactions. It's interactions consist of the opening and closing of the umbrella, spinning of the umbrella and the use of the handle to hook something/someone.
Tagline
• I am an umbrella.
• I can open it up by pushing the pivot of the umbrella forward.
• I can shoot out water by spinning/rotating the umbrella.
• I can hook someone/something by reaching out and pulling back.
• I can close the umbrella by fastening it together.
Folderella is an application that eases the cross-overing of files/folders and gives the user a new experience of viewing their files. Bringing new ways of on-screen interactions that are based on an analog object's interaction, it encompasses the similar interactions into the digital world to create a better user experience for people.
Below are some screenshots of how the application would work.
