Design Factors; Tools for Design Thinking
Full text linkAs more and more people find themselves confronted with design issues - in the roles of planners,developers, and producers - tools which can assist communication across different domains of expertise facilitating participation in design processes and supporting evaluation as well as documentation, are required.departmental bulletin pape
Development and practice of a rapid prototyping-based design process
Full text linkIt has been noted that in recent years collaborations between designers and engineers will be key to developing products that provide rich user experiences. However, there are gaps between designers and engineers. In this paper, we will introduce our design process in the Gangu project, in which we have been trying to develop a rapid prototyping method for designing electronic devices, and also explain our activities and experiences: Funnel toolkit and physical computing workshops for designers, engineers and students. By using the Funnel toolkit and experiencing workshops, designers will be able to handle events in "the physical" in the same manner as events in the GUI world, and develop working prototypes in a short time. We also mention future possibilities of our methods.departmental bulletin pape
Development of modular display interfaces
Full text link"Karakuri Block" is a device that can be freely assembled like a block to view an animation,which changes when two neighboring independent displays are combined. Users can choose the combination order and where to put the blocks. The animation changes according to the relational position of the blocks,making it interesting for the users.
"ImageArray" is an expanded system of "Karakuri Block" using with mobile computers as multiple displays.Assembling the displays increases the resolution and presents further imagination and viewing methods. We defined a tag “KBPML” specifically for making animation that uses XML and created a playback application specifically for the tags. In addition, we also made an application to aid content production and editing for generating the tags. As a result, a challenge in content production became clear.departmental bulletin pape
Optimization of the Management and Educational Practices of Small-Scale Higher Learning Institutions using Learning Management System
Full text link近年 LMS（Learning Management System: LMS）が、高等教育機関においても積極的に利用されてきている。本学は少人数でありながらも学生の多様性など、他校に比べて独特な特徴を持つ反面、教育における高コスト化を招いている。そこで教育や運営に対して LMS を適用することで、各学生に適した内容の教育を個別に実施させることを目的とした。具体的には新入生に対する教育の一部を LMS に置き換え、受講者の評価を得た。また通常利用するレポート提出機能やアンケート機能などへも、適用範囲を広げた。4 年間にわたる試行実験の結果、小規模な LMS であっても、環境の特殊性をふまえて活用することで、学生の満足も得られつつ、効果的に利用できることがわかった。departmental bulletin pape
On reality in pre-modern painting using Geo-Information – About Katsushika Hokusai [Thirty-six Views of Mt Fuji] –
Full text link近世絵画において、制作上での写実性の位置付けについて、葛飾北斎「富嶽三十六景」を中心に検証を行う。
モチーフとしての富士山を地理情報とすれば、現在も描かれた時代とほぼ同形を保っている。この点に着目し、地理情報データを利用して特に山頂部位の形態比較を行い、絵画様式と写 実性の関係について、様式と時代の価値観に含まれる課題を発見する。departmental bulletin pape
