Milano in order to present the School of Design in its own stand at Salone del Mobile 2013 asked DensityDesign to realize a 4 mt x 2 mt poster showing the structure and the efficiency of the School of Design system at Politecnico The visualization is a picture of the 2010 2011 academic year We began with the visualization of the figures related to students On the left side you can start following the students path from the admission test to their bachelor degree which is connected to data related to the type of contract one year after graduation data referred to a 2010 survey We decided to integrate the visualization with information related to credits distribution Every circle is a course of study and shows its typology of exams theoretical courses labs etc with related C F U university course credits Inside it is shown the average of earned credits by students every year In the right side you can see the same data related to master degree We also visualized how many teachers each department gives to the school of design The poster has been completed with information about PhDs technical and research labs and the number of students for each school of Politecnico The poster was realized in one week by Gabriele Calvi and Sara De Donno with the supervision of Michele Mauri Sara De Donno 24 April 2013 Density Design http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3293 Mon, 29

application The data shows how energy consumption and generation impacts people in a variety of climates within a five-star rated green building like the Science and Engineering Centre SEC where the Cube is located ECOS incorporates live weather data into an interactive illustration and places a fictional green building into different climates allowing users to play with the parameters of the buildings and observe the results and the possible impacts on people ECOS promotes behavioural change by demonstrating the factors that influence sustainable energy consumption and generation Project

mobile Augmented Reality application that allows people to see how the city was before the earthquakes and building demolitions Using an Android mobile phone people can walk around the city and see life-sized virtual models of what the buildings looked like on site before they were demolished and see pictures and written information Hundreds of 3D models of key city buildings have been made available from architect Jason Mill of ZNO while the Christchurch City Council and Historic Places Trust have provided photographs and building histories CityViewAR is based on the HIT Lab NZ Android AR platform which uses the GPS and compass sensors of mobile phones to enable virtual information to be overlaid on live video of the real world Android AR makes it easy for Android developers to build their own outdoor AR applications The software was previously used for showing individual buildings but this is the first time that it has been used to show dozens of buildings at once and the first time in world that mobile phone AR has been used for earthquake reconstruction HIT Lab NZ 2011 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3223 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 19:30:08 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3222 Historically female anatomy has been represented in medical illustrations predominantly as a variation of the male form in terms of reproductive organs and surface anatomy There are a multitude of societal cultural and religious reasons that have established this ideal in addition to the fine line between female anatomy and eroticism This show will compel viewers to question the objectivity surrounding female anatomyo and define-or re-define-their own perceptions through the art perspectives literature and live burlesque performances featured during

materialities It is located online in Stanford Archaeology Center and has worldwide affiliates Metamedia combines archaeology and media with an archaeological and long-term focus on how people get on with things with media works treated as modes of engagement between people and things Media as artifacts and prostheses as well as systems to convey meaning we emphasize the materialities of mediation

Flightradar24 is a flight tracking service that provides you with real-time info about thousands of aircraft around the world It started as a hobby project in 2006 when two Swedish aviation geeks decided to build a network of ADS-B receivers in Northern and Central Europe In 2009 we opened up the network and made it possible for anyone with an ADS-B receiver to upload data to the network Many parts of the world were quickly covered but the quest to provide global ADS-B coverage is still ongoing Hopefully with your support we will get there Flightradar24 AB 2013

the University of Greenwich s new Professor of Digital Creativity Gregory Sporton who joins in January 2013 from Birmingham City University has spent much of his academic career researching the impact of new technology on the visual and performing arts He is a former professional dancer and has also researched the history of ballet in Soviet times He is excited about introducing a new and original focus on the arts to Greenwich I aim to gather together the expertise we have in so many disciplines such as creative arts computing visualisation and all the rest and make something new and interesting Professor Sporton says The arts and sciences are drawn more closely together by technology there is less differentiation than people think and at Greenwich I want to build a research environment to explore that University of Greenwich News 17 December 2012 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3129 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:15:55 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3123 Tech City Map

hard work and relies heavily on the skill and the ability of everyone involved Even so a strong process is important Heroic efforts on the part of a development team can often bring a project to
