Final Project : Orange - The Ultimate Gadget

The reason why we chose the name for our Ultimate Gadget ; Orange was because we visioned our product to be fresh and vibrant to the current technology as it represents almost everything that is yet available on any other product available currently at this time.

This gadget is made of non breakable glass and totally scratch safe. The metal piece that wraps around the gadget is made of duralumin which is used to made the body of a Boeing plane.

The new features for this gadget that stands out among all of the mobile phone is that it is a complete see through glass. Also, it has a retina scanner that works as a identifier to it's owner. To turn on the system of the phone, users have to use their eyes to scan through the retina scanner. Also it prevents the phone from being missing as when other user tries to use it, it sends a signal towards the local Telco provider to inform the user of it's whereabouts.

The gadget also works safely in our ecosystem where it uses LED screen. It also has a light sensor to determined the correct amount of light that is receive so the screen interface wont fades under the sunlight.

This gadget also represents what wireless is all meant about. While everything else is wireless, the charging system is also wireless. It uses the wireless electricity system which is also known as WiTricity.

The phone doesn't support the usage of sim cards, but why bother? Once the phone is purchased, it is immediately registered under Telekom and uses the domestic phone line connection. It also receives the connectivity of Unifi, the fastest current internet service provider in the country.

What's best about this gadget is that it has a camera that also acts like a projector. The projector also could detect the color of the wall, so the image projected to it will collided with the colors of the screen. Users can now enjoy their movie in the gadget projected onto the wall up to 1080p screen quality.

Final Project

First of all, I would like to apologize for using my blog to post up the report and progress of the work instead of the one that was stated in the group list.

Our group have come to our consensus by choosing a topic, which is the Creative Multimedia Innovation. How?

Step 1



Step 2



Creative Multimedia Innovation

For us, our group, when it comes to creative multimedia, it well matches the word innovation and being innovative and also creative at the same time. To create a gadget, one must be creative and also innovative. Being innovative is essential as it is needed to create, renew or change a product to become more effective product in the sense of the usability and portability that will be accepted by the market, society and government. Innovation differs from invention or renovation in that innovation generally signifies a substantial positive change compared to incremental changes.

To implement a new usability onto a new product or gadget, being creative is also crucial. The demands of consumer that cries out loud for new changes every year creates the mind of the developers to be able to push themselves to be more creative. For example, who would've known 15 years ago that we will have a touch screen mobile phones today, or Mario lovers on their Nintendo consoles somewhere 20 years ago they would enjoy the game towards the greater heights in Nintendo 64. Altogether, with both these examples, if it weren't for the combined both creative and innovative minds in those involved developers, it would not have happened.

All of the inventions in the world currently are following so close towards the capability of our current technology, and our technology now also growing rapidly fast. Provided with this, it is up to the developer to develop something that is on par, or maybe far beyond that defies even the capability of the technology itself.

Juxtaposition 1

Juxtaposition means placing things side-by-side. In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. The viewer's attention is drawn to the similarities or differences between the elements.


Pronunciation: jucks-ta-pose, jucks-ta-pos-i-shun


Example and Observation:
"Watchmen at lonely railroad crossings in Iowa, hoping that they'll be able to get off to hear the United Brethren evangelist preach. . . . Ticket-sellers in the subway, breathing sweat in its gaseous form. . . . Farmers plowing sterile fields behind sad meditative horses, both suffering from the bites of insects. . . . Grocery-clerks trying to make assignations with soapy servant girls. . . . Women confined for the ninth or tenth time, wondering helplessly what it is all about. . . ."(H.L. Mencken. "Diligence." A Mencken Chrestomathy, 1949)


Quotes About Juxtaposition
"Creativity is that marvelous capacity to grasp mutually distinct realities and draw a spark from their juxtaposition."
— Max Ernst

Lateral and Vertical Thinking

LATERAL THINKING



Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. The term lateral thinking was coined by Edward de Bono in the book New Think: The Use of Lateral Thinking published in 1967.



VERTICAL THINKING



Vertical thinking is a type of approach to problems that usually involves one being selective, analytical, and sequential. It could be said that it is the opposite of lateral thinking.

Vertical thinking is logical but only in one direction. You ignore the possibilities and alternatives around you or various other ways of doing same thing. Vertical way of thinking is the problem solving way the way computers do. Rotating a problem from different angles to try and locate alternative points of entry involves Lateral thinking. This is a creative processing that the human mind can do, but computers are generally unable to do. It is useful when one channel of thought reaches a dead end and another approach is needed.

It can be difficult but satisfying to solve and will encourage you to examine lots of different clues and information without any prejudice. Thinking laterally and avoiding the obvious is a great tool in life of a manager. This thinking asks you generate 3-4 alternatives to a given problem and then try one option at a time to put into action and see the results for best.

Mind Mapping

Mind mapping, which is introduced by Tony Buzan, is defined as an expression of Radiant Thinking and is consequently a natural function of the human mind. It is a powerful graphic technique, which gives a universal key to unlocking the potential of one’s brain. The Mind Map can be applied to all kinds of aspect of life where improved learning and clearer thinking will definitely enhance human
performance.


There are two methods of creative thinking, which are logical, and associated mind map technique.Logical mind map is connected to stereotypes. It consists of only stereotype words; meaning, every word or image that is put within the mind map is related to the central subject through its links.Associated Mind map, we, on the other side, can prompt unplanned words and also show the links between words that have no connection.


Stereotype is defined as a conventional, formulaic and oversimplified conception, opinion or image.Stereotyped, stereotyping or stereotypes signify as ; to make a stereotype of. To characterize by a stereotype.To give a fixed, unvarying form to.


There are a few rules of logical mind mapping. Firstly, it’s compulsory for us to put the subject in the center of the page. Secondly, we should make the subject more dominant than the rest of the words and images in the mind map. Also, we should know what to decide on the main categories of the
subject before executing on mind map. We should also have the different categories in different colors just to make it easier to be identified. Other, we should use drawings or images to make the mind map more engrossing and personal. More, the ideal mind map should be shaped like the roots of a tree, branching out from a center. It is acceptable to repeat words or even interlink certain words. Also, it is vital for us to ensure that the mind map is neat and easily readable.


Apparently, there are benefits of Logical mind –mapping technique. First and foremost, it is the most concise way of listing and categorizing a bunch of information. Also, it is easier for one to see the relationship between each word and in a way, helps trigger memories and reduce the amount of
note taking and no doubt, will make one’s understanding for the subject even better. More, if the mind map is interesting, there are greater chances that looker will have in the information. The usage of images along with words will create interest for the mind map and is useful in triggering a memory of the subject.
