Technology Research:
-----------------------------------

Technologies:
- Remote Technologies
- 3D Printed/Handmade Model
- Projector
- Camera/Webcam
- Touchscreen/Tablet
- Interaction software



1. Remote Technologies
Types:
Using an IR sensor
http://learn.adafruit.com/ir-sensor/using-an-ir-sensor

With this tutorial an Infra red remote can be programmed to send an ON/OFF pulse to an Arduino circuit board using IR Command code.

IR Trans transforms your PC into a programmable remote control. It learns the codes of your remote control, stores them in a database and allows them to be controlled by your applications. You can control your PC with almost any remote control.

Control your PC with a TV remote

IR LED and IR RECEIVER

To set the PC/TV as a Media Remote:

You can control the TV using a smartphone with the “Media Remote” application installed, or using a PC with the “Remote Keyboard” application installed. To use your smartphone or PC as a TV’s remote control, register it to the TV as a remote device. (Registration is required only for the first time.)

IR (InfraRed) versus RF (Radio Frequency)

Radio Frequency overcomes line of sight issues and range.

2. 3D Printed/Handmade Model/No model
Types:


Question about the need for a model:
- 3D model - physical permanence of projections and island model settings - tied to exhibition and it's style.
- flat screen with island image - physical permanence of flatscreen, with flexible island projections of any island, in any part of the room, lends to being more flexible for future collections.

3. Projector
Types:

LCD -
DLP -
is based on an optical semiconducter called a DMD chip, which is made up of million of tiny mirrors, that can rotate at a 10 degrees angle. The mirrors are capable of switching on and off thousands of times per second, and are used to direct light towards and away from a dedicated pixel space. There is a high cost in producing the chips, and so LCD and CRT are more reasonable for cost.
