<p><em>&#8220;Oma is de weg kwijt&#8221; is een afstudeerproject van de Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht ontwikkeld in samenwerking met <a href="http://www.ankekleinzieverink.com/">Anke Klein Zieverink</a> en <a href="http://www.uwenst.nl/">Kim Deuning</a>. Het project bestaat uit een interactief lespakket waarbij een multi-touch tafel op unieke wijze in het geschiedenis onderwijs van het basisschool wordt geïntegreerd.</em></p>
<h3>Concept</h3>
<p>De leerlingen worden meegenomen in een archeologisch avontuur. Een vrouw is op een afgelegen plek in het bos gevonden en is haar geheugen kwijt. Door te graven door verschillende grondlagen, en gevonden voorwerpen te onderzoeken leren de kinderen meer over de Nederlandse geschiedenis vanaf de jaren &#8217;40 tot nu en leggen ze een link tussen hun persoonlijke (familie) geschiedenis en de Nederlandse geschiedenis, door hun persoonlijke geschiedenis te verwerken in het verhaal. </p>
<p>De leerlingen moeten in kleine groepjes de vrouw helpen, ze leren samen problemen op te lossen, het presenteren van hun bevindingen en het beargumenteren van de gemaakte keuzes. Dit alles met als doel het geheugen van de gevonden vrouw te herconstrueren en het mysterie rondom de plek in het bos op te lossen. Naast de actieve les in de klas moeten de leerlingen thuis, samen met hun (groot)ouders kleine opdrachten uitvoeren gericht op het verhogen van de betrokkenheid van de ouders bij de opleiding van het kind, en het delen van familie geschiedenis waardoor het kind zich zekerder voelt over zijn eigen identiteit.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.frankdouwes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Oma_menu.jpg" alt="Oma is de weg kwijt - main menu" title="Oma is de weg kwijt - main menu" width="894" height="397" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-669" /></p>
<p>Leerlingen hebben de mogelijkheid elementen aan het systeem toe te voegen, deze eigen bijdrage betrekt het kind niet alleen bij het verhaal maar creëert ook een dynamische collectie waaruit onderzoeksresultaten met betrekking tot interesses van het kind voor eventuele vervolglessen kunnen worden geëxtraheerd. Door het koppelen van de wereld van het kind en de les, gecombineerd met de mogelijkheden van nieuwe media worden kinderen persoonlijk betrokken bij de les met als doel het verhogen van motivatie en interesse wat uiteindelijk lijdt tot een beter leerrendement.</p>
<h3>Techniek</h3>
<p>Voor dit project heb ik me vooral bezig gehouden met het ontwikkelen van de multitouch en scan applicatie in Flash (Actionscript 3). Het systeem bestaat uit een dynamische zandlaag met objecten, een spel waarbij de gevonden objecten in de juiste volgorde dienen worden geplaatst, een scan applicatie en een complexe video en audio player waarmee het verhaal vertelt wordt.</p>

<p>het lespakket bestaat uit 5 lessen en een overzicht van het resultaat (voor bijvoorbeeld een ouderavond) en een ongelimiteerd aantal groepjes leerlingen. hiervoor is de applicatie volledig dynamisch opgezet, waarbij alle door de leerlingen toegevoegde data (objecten) extern worden ingeladen door middel van een XML bestand met een live update functie, hierdoor is het mogelijk dat gescande objecten direct zichtbaar zijn op de multitouch tafel en invloed hebben op het verloop van het verhaal en de les.</p>
<p>De multitouch tafel applicatie maakt gebruik van de (open source) technologie ontwikkeld door de <a href="http://www.nuigroup.com/">NUIgroup</a> het is mogelijk voor de gebruiken om objecten te slepen en roteren, maar er zijn ook een aantal unieke functionaliteiten toegevoegd waarbij meerdere gebruikers nodig zijn om objecten te verplaatsen (samenwerken) en het gebruik van een kwast om gevonden objecten eerst voorzichtig te ontdaan van een stoflaag voordat ze geanalyseerd en gebruikt kunnen worden.</p>
<h3>Supportive Narrative</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.frankdouwes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/paperICT1.png" alt="" title="paperICT" width="894" height="370" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1717" /></p>
<p>Tijdens het ontwikkelen van de applicatie heb ik veel onderzoek gedaan naar de mogelijkheden en het gebruik van nieuwe (interactieve) media en ICT in het basisonderwijs en de rollenverschuiving die dit met zich meebrengt.<br />
<br/><a href="http://www.frankdouwes.com/documents/ICTmediaEducation1.pdf" title="Onderzoek naar de toepasbaarheid van nieuwe media en ICT in het basisonderwijs, Analyse en basis criteria voor digitale leermiddelen." class="download"> <img src="http://www.frankdouwes.com/wp-content/themes/portfolio/img/icon.png" alt="icon"/> </a> <a href="http://www.frankdouwes.com/documents/ICTmediaEducation1.pdf" title="Onderzoek naar de toepasbaarheid van nieuwe media en ICT in het basisonderwijs, Analyse en basis criteria voor digitale leermiddelen.">Nieuwe media in het basis onderwijs - v1.1</a></p>
<p>Steeds meer basisscholen ontwikkelen een media en ICT visie, ze zien het belang van digitale media binnen het onderwijs in, en investeren veel geld in digitale leermiddelen. De docent geeft nu een centrale les voor een digitaal schoolbord en de kinderen maken hun rekensommen op de computer, maar de lessen zijn nog altijd groot en deels hetzelfde. en de meerwaarde die ICT en nieuwe media zouden kunnen bieden worden nog niet optimaal ingezet. Nieuwe media en ICT vereist ook nieuwe didactiek.</p>

BUY? is an interactive installation which changes the way we shop, it consists of an interactive fitting booth connected to clothing items in a store, instead of letting yourself being manipulated by branding and image, BUY? aims to visualise the production proces, designers view and social network of clothing.

<p>BUY? was an ubiquitous computing experiment, the goal was to create a whole new shopping experience, where the user was presented with relevant information previously unavailable. To accomplish this we chose to make the user interface controls almost completely sensor based (using infrared LEDs, augmented reality QR tags and an ultrasonic sensor), the GUI is a combination of the persons reflection in the mirror combined with floating elements projected around it, due to the nature of the specially coated mirror it&#8217;s impossible to see how this effect is achieved, where the projection is coming from and where the edges are. A truly unique experience that is hard to describe.</p>
<p>I created the interface elements and a total of 12 short content videos for the first prototype of the BUY? installation, the interface has 3 icons, each representing a different pathway the user can choose, Concept (Light Bulb icon), Production (Sprocket icon) and Social (Heart icon). Concept shows the idea behind the print on the shirt, where the idea originated and the designers opinion or statement. Production visualises the production process and the materials used. Social shows information about the people who bought the shirt, their lifestyle and their opinion about the product.</p>

<h3>Posters and Flyer</h3>

<p>BUY? was made available to the public for the first time at the Projectenmarkt 2009 at the Utrecht School of Arts, for these event I designed 3 posters and a flyer. The idea behind the posters was to create something visually appealing, but also generating curiosity by keeping certain things hidden. The Flyer had an added function, being a business card for the members of crowdconnection.</p>

<p><em>The Virus Free Generation Hip-Hop Tour is a project by Hivos, Alliance 2015 and Music Mayday attempting to raise awareness about the HIV&amp;Aids epidemic in Africa amongst the European youth of Germany, the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Italy.</em></p>
<p>It started in February 2008 in Dar es Salam (Tanzania) and ended in Cape Town (South Africa) in April 2008. In each country a duo was formed containing of a European and an African Hip-Hop artist. Together they visited HIV&amp;Aids related youth projects, gave workshops to local youth and musicians on how to use music as a tool of expression and education and gave a free concert where the local youth got a change to show their talent. They also recorded 3 tracks for the album and recorded a music video together with the media team.</p>
<p>I was part of the media team that traveled along with the artists to capture all of the activities. The virus free generation hip-hop tour could be followed live on the website, which was updated daily from Africa with Photos, Videos (webisodes) and a Blog. I also created most of the print design for the campaign surrounding the european part of the tour.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.virusfreegeneration.eu/hiphoptour/">Visit the Website</a></p>
<p>The website is mostly aimed at european youth, they were able to follow a well known artist from their own country and their experiences in Africa. The site had to be interesting enough for european youth to follow daily but easy to update from Africa. thats why the choice was made to build a Flash based website which allowed for an interactive user experience through the use of photos, video, audio and an artist blog. The website focusses mostly on the Artists and Countries but extra background information about HIV&amp;Aids can also be found in multiple languages. The Website was created in collaboration with <a href="http://teletekstisdood.com/">Beer van Geer</a> and Peter van Beek, and was scripted by <a href="http://mode2.nl/">Danny Grob</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/virusfreevideo">Visit the Youtube Channel and watch the Webisodes</a></p>
<p>A total of 15 webisodes were edited in Africa during the tour (of which I did half), using the material shot for the documentaries. The aim was to create a short but personal video in which the artists experiences would play a central role. To make it possible to upload a new video every 3 days they had to remain short and small in filesize. All the video was edited on a macbook pro with final cut pro and a couple external hard drives. It made me realize that no matter where I am, I can always do my work, even in a country like Malawi, where even electicity isnt a sure thing.</p>

Aan de speler om de objecten uit het museum terug te vinden, en op de juiste plek terug in de collectie te zetten. Ondertussen leert de speler over de geschiedenis van Amsterdam en leert hij ook de stad kennen.</p>
<p>Het spel is dynamisch gemaakt zodat de objecten en thema&#8217;s altijd anders zijn, hierdoor blijft het leuk voor kinderen om te spelen.</p>
<p>Voor dit project heb ik het concept, technisch concept, technische demo, karakters, en de in interface ontwikkeld. Samen met Lennard de Kok heb ik de tussen-animaties gemaakt die het verhaal vertellen en de thema&#8217;s toelichten.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fragile is an interactive film about the study &#8216;Digital Media Design&#8217; (DMD) at the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU). The project was part of a campaign to promote the study and is intended to show potential new students what it takes to be a digital media designer. Fragile combines classic film with interaction to create a unique experience.</p>
<h3>Concept</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.frankdouwes.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/fragile.jpg" alt="Fragile - interactive film" title="Fragile - interactive film" width="894" height="397" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-698" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.frankdouwes.com/old/fragile/">Visit the website</a></p>
<p>The start of the film shows a confused DMD student named Vincent who&#8217;s sitting at a therapist, the user takes the role as therapist to help Vincent untangle his life and to help him when needed. By doing this you help vincent and slowly find out all about the study, the motivation, the work, the inspiration and the presentations that make the study different from any other digital design study.The sets for fragile were entirely build at the HKU, using scraps and materials from students.</p>
<h3>Development</h3>
<p>Fragile was developed in Flash and uses a complex preloader that loads scenes sequentially, this was done to keep it playing fluently without any waiting periods in between scenes, the used video material is around 120mb in size.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Een rebranding opdracht voor het merk Lonsdale (een opdracht voor de studie Digital Media Design (DMD) aan de hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU))</p>
<p>Lonsdale is een merk dat in Nederland wordt geassocieerd met extreem rechts, iets wat vreemd is voor een merk wat van oorsprong een merk was boks kleding/artikelen produceerde en onder andere Mohammed Ali sponsorde. In dit concept probeerde dit image om te draaien door het ook een aantrekkelijk merk te maken voor de urban/hip-hop cultuur.</p>
<p>Onder het motto &#8220;hate it or Love it&#8221; wordt de gebruiker in een hoekje geplaatst, en door de gemaakte keuzes beland de gebruiker uiteindelijk in een extreen rechts of een urban/hip-hop webshop.</p>

<p><em>Mijn afstudeerproject voor het Grafisch Lyceum Eindhoven (GLE) later de Eindhovense School. Een anti illegaal download campagne waarbij jongeren worden geconfronteerd met de gevolgen van hun acties. De campagne bestaat uit een website, een game en tv-commercial.</em></p>
<p>Jongeren beantwoorden de vraag &#8216;Wat boeit mij dat?!&#8217; met &#8216;veel&#8217; of &#8216;weinig&#8217; wat het goede en het kwade vertegenwoordigd, waarna de gebruiker naar de hel of hemel gaat. De hel bestaat uit een aantal eenvoudige mini games waarin duidelijk wordt wat de consequenties van het illegaal downloaden zijn, waarna de gebruiker uiteindelijk door het spelen van de downloadbare game in de hemel kan belanden. De hemel geeft meer informatie over de campagne en geeft de gebruiker informatie over legale download mogelijkheden zoals bijvoorbeeld de iTunes Music Store.</p>
<p>Dit project is uitgevoerd door een team van 4 man, waarbij ik verantwoordelijk was voor de vormgeving en de techniek van de site, met name de hel.</p>
