Examining The Transformation Of The Visual Characteristics Of The Nubian Ethnic Motif Using Computer Aided Design, N. S. Baba Sep 2002

Examining The Transformation Of The Visual Characteristics Of The Nubian Ethnic Motif Using Computer Aided Design, N. S. Baba

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper is relevant to how the discourse of doctoral research can be circulated through a range of platforms. It will pose the question: ‘Is there a creative space where ethnic identity can be preserved along with the production of new art forms?’ The central point of this doctoral research is to discuss whether the culture’s visual identity - Nubian art in particular - can be preserved, since it may be absorbed, developed or combined within a variety of influences of the modern melting pot (CAD). Also, in terms of experimental design using new technology, it shows how such images …


A Very Strange Thing: Commodity Discourse In Cultural Theory And Design, P. Boradkar Sep 2002

A Very Strange Thing: Commodity Discourse In Cultural Theory And Design, P. Boradkar

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper attempts to bring to design dialogue an expanded meaning of the term “commodity” by revealing its presence and discussion in other disciplines via the writings of some of the predominant thinkers through history. Particularly germane to design are the notions of commodity fetishism and commodity aesthetics eloquently outlined in treatises by Karl Marx and Wolfgang Haug. Experiments in generating innovative forms largely perceived as imperative creative exercises in design are, according to Marxist thought, merely attempts to valorize capital. The redesign of product forms is labeled by Marxists as ‘aesthetic aging,’ and referred to as an activity with …


Design Judgment: Decision Making In The ‘Real’ World, H. Nelson, E. Stolterman Sep 2002

Design Judgment: Decision Making In The ‘Real’ World, H. Nelson, E. Stolterman

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design is about creating the ‘real’ world around us. Real life is complex, dynamic and uncertain. Truth is difficult enough to know, even with the best science, but ‘reality’, the domain of human experience, can be overwhelmingly paralyzing and beyond comprehension or understanding. Careful, accurate description, concomitant with clear explanation, is necessary but not sufficient in the quest for enough understanding to allow wise decisions to be made. The value of judgment is that it allows individuals to overcome their paralysis and engage with the messy complexity of life in a way that, when done well, can bring function, beauty, …


Product Charisma, J. Gotzsch Sep 2002

Product Charisma, J. Gotzsch

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Consumers are attracted by product designs that feel “alive” and that contain surprise elements. Meaningful product attributes are an important way to differentiate a product from the competitor’s products. Companies in mature markets, especially, have a competitive advantage when they succeed in integrating this “emotional value” or “experience” into the product design. This paper presents a classification of the various messages that a product can convey. The different product messages are visualised by means of a schema in which three groups of messages are distinguished. These three groups consist of messages about the product itself, about the company and about …


Comparison Between Communication Instruments For People With Speech Impediments And The Efficiency Of Gui Environments, J-S. Jang Sep 2002

Comparison Between Communication Instruments For People With Speech Impediments And The Efficiency Of Gui Environments, J-S. Jang

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Communication is a basic desire for all humankind, and it is believed that no special groups should suffer from a cultural lag in communication. This study focuses on special groups like people with an acoustic disturbance, and those with a normal sense of hearing who are able only to communicate through sign and finger languages. Among the major difficulties encountered during communication, there were individual differences in the understanding of texts and in the expressive method of gestures. To solve these basic problems, this study largely consisted of three stages. Firstly, the illustrations used in the sign and finger language …


Common Ground - A Product Or A Process?, W. Jonas Sep 2002

Common Ground - A Product Or A Process?, W. Jonas

DRS Biennial Conference Series

What does the Common Ground metaphor mean: solid rock, fertile soil, or swampy lowlands? Are we mapping the terrain or are we just constructing it because it would be comfortable to have one? We are in a historical moment, 40 years after the first conference on design methods, initiating the short “design science decade”, when other disciplines realize the fragile, fluid, historical character of their “grounds”. On the lists and in conferences there are fierce debates, yet mainly concerning details of the respective positions. On the other hand ambitious perspectives are proclaimed, without being rooted in the community. Contributions reveal …


A Geometric Aid During The First Stages Of Product Collaborative Design, D. Pallez, P. Ghodous, M. Martinez Sep 2002

A Geometric Aid During The First Stages Of Product Collaborative Design, D. Pallez, P. Ghodous, M. Martinez

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The technological advances carried out these last years in the field of products development led the researchers to elaborate the approaches that reduce the cost and time of product development, enhance the quality of product and help the designers to be more creative. These objectives are difficult to obtain due to a large number of phases, which should be carried out during the product development and the large number of experts of different disciplines that are involved. Currently, computer aided systems and software have concentrated on the capture and representation of geometrical shape and technical information as opposed to providing …


Putting It All Together: Bringing Interdisciplinary Research To The Practice Of Designing Interactive Learning Tools, B. Sadler Takach, J. Daniels, C. Varnhagen Sep 2002

Putting It All Together: Bringing Interdisciplinary Research To The Practice Of Designing Interactive Learning Tools, B. Sadler Takach, J. Daniels, C. Varnhagen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Working within an interdisciplinary, collaborative context to bring research into design practice offers both challenges and opportunities in building strategic alliances for a common purpose, integrating methods of research, and transferring or translating the resulting knowledge into action. Integrating multiple methods requires an iterative, complementary approach to the design of research, characterised by the need for effective communicative strategies throughout the process. Two of the responsibilities inherent in applied research are to undertake useful research and to report it in ways that are accessible to people working in different disciplines, and usable in practice. We centre our discussion on three …


Design, Words And History, A. Tomes, P. Armstrong Sep 2002

Design, Words And History, A. Tomes, P. Armstrong

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Every dominant movement in art has depended upon the development of an accompanying critical discourse. Using the writings of design critics and design journalists, this paper suggests that there are similar, albeit under-developed, discursive dimensions to the reception of innovative design. Critics, advertisers and commentators offer vocabularies of appreciation analogous to the critical discourses of artistic avant-gardes. These suggest the manner in which a design should be used or experienced, the nature of experiences that should follow and the discontents with earlier forms that inspired it. A major implication is that the lukewarm enthusiasm of the UK public for good …


Three Dimensional Models: A Study Of A Virtual Aquarium Simulation In 3d Www Environments, N. Wakabayashi, T. Watanabe, R. Takahashi, Y. Harada Sep 2002

Three Dimensional Models: A Study Of A Virtual Aquarium Simulation In 3d Www Environments, N. Wakabayashi, T. Watanabe, R. Takahashi, Y. Harada

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The purpose of this research is to investigate and propose an expressing method of information making good use of 3-dimensional space. Under the theme of information design on a 3- dimensional space, we treated a virtual aquarium as a subject matter. This research focuses on development of effective methods of designing techniques which can be utilized in making interactive content on the internet through the actual development of "Aqua Project". Focusing particularly on real time 3D graphics, we will propose a representation technique that utilizes words, images, and geometric models all integrated into 3D space. We searched for ways to …

Intentionality And Design, C. Burnette Sep 2002

Intentionality And Design, C. Burnette

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper suggests that: a model of Intentionality is required in any theory of design thinking; that ”intending” is systematically informed and constrained by experience; that it is cognitively structured in terms of the source-path-goal schema; and that this schema frames, threads and manages other modes of thinking during design. The philosophical roots, cognitive structure and operational requirements of intentional thinking are indicated and a computational model of design thinking which would enable Intentionality in design to become more accessible as a subject of research is referenced.


Well-Defined Versus Ill-Defined Design Problem Solving: The Use Of Visual Analogy, H. Casakin Sep 2002

Well-Defined Versus Ill-Defined Design Problem Solving: The Use Of Visual Analogy, H. Casakin

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Analogical reasoning is considered to be an efficient heuristic for solving non-routine problems, and particularly helpful in design. It is during the design process, where a large collection of visual displays aid designers, in which the use of visual analogy is of specific importance. Few works have studied the effect of the use of visual analogy in design problem solving, and there is no research which has studied whether it plays a more significant role in the context of ill-defined problems or in well-defined problems. The objective of this study is to empirically compare and investigate the use of visual …


Human Factors Considerations In Human-Webpad Interaction – A Discussion On Color Application, C-H. Chen, Y-T. Chen, B-C. Chiou Sep 2002

Human Factors Considerations In Human-Webpad Interaction – A Discussion On Color Application, C-H. Chen, Y-T. Chen, B-C. Chiou

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of color in human-Webpad interaction based on a model of human factors. Color is a prominent and prevailing visual stimulus encountered by humans daily. It affects how humans process information perceptually and cognitively. Four important design issues pertaining to the model of human factors, i.e., issues concerning humans, Webpad technology, user interface, and environment, are discussed in this paper. The authors hope that this discussion can be utilized to improve the applications of color in Webpad user interface design and, at the same time, point us towards the right direction …


The Study Of Design And The Ethically Reflexive Student, C. Crouch Sep 2002

The Study Of Design And The Ethically Reflexive Student, C. Crouch

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The core units in the Visual Culture course at the School of Visual Arts, Edith Cowan University, draw heavily upon key concepts in post-colonial theory. Particularly the premises of the social and political inequality of much cultural exchange, and the ultimate impossibility of cross-cultural understanding. These are considered essential for practice in a multi-culture such as Australia’s. Despite this contextualisation, during a final year professional practice tutorial, a group of students dealing with Aboriginal copyright law argued that cultural appropriation was simply a matter of formal stylistic borrowing. They proposed that designing was an unproblematic union of expression and technical …

Verbal Language And Sketching, T. Y. Pan, R. M. Newman, S. Porter, M. Tovey Sep 2002

Verbal Language And Sketching, T. Y. Pan, R. M. Newman, S. Porter, M. Tovey

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper attempts to identify designers’ sketches in different forms for a classification system by use of verbal language. Designers have a creative vocabulary, which has rich meanings in design communication. This study was carried out with the cooperation of 11 academic staff in the domain of industrial design. It was concluded that none of verbal language was found descriptive enough for the purpose of separating sketches into different forms to support a classification system. While this study has not produced a possible means for classification of sketches using verbal language, the methodology employed has proved interesting for future investigative …

Current Status Data: Review, Recent Developments And Open Problems, Nicholas P. Jewell, Mark J. Van Der Laan Sep 2002

Current Status Data: Review, Recent Developments And Open Problems, Nicholas P. Jewell, Mark J. Van Der Laan

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Researchers working with survival data are by now adept at handling issues associated with incomplete data, particular those associated with various forms of censoring. An extreme form of interval censoring, known as current status observation, refers to situations where the only available information on a survival random variable T is whether or not T exceeds a random independent monitoring time C. This article contains a brief review of the extensive literature on the analysis of current status data, discussing the implications of response-based sampling on these methods. The majority of the paper introduces some recent extensions of these ideas to …
