'Month On' Update as a Multimedia Graduate<div class='posterous_autopost'>Although it's been a silent month of blogging, in which I'm sure you've all enjoyed the peace and quiet, I've now received my final results for my degree. I'm pleased to say I've passed with a First Class Honours in Multimedia! Yes you can hold the applause as this doesn't guarantee me any job, but just puts me in a better position for one.<p>So a month on from final deadlines and my 10th episode of my video blog, I've been busy with exhibition and interviews. Our #MultimediaMMXI exhibition went well and I've also had some offers for interviews from that which I'm excited about.</p><p>I've also been working on our New Designers exhibition which I've been selected along with another 8 Multimedia students to exhibit our work. The work that I'll be exhibiting is connected to my personal research document on Augmented Reality and Quick Response Codes. If you're interested in what I did through that process you can look at it via this blog under the appropriate PRP tags. The exhibition will be taking place on the 6 - 9 July.</p><p>My client project for the Colwyn Bay Hockey Club is now live too. Once the appropriate members and team captains of the club get training on how to use WordPress to it's full potential the site should really take off!</p><p>Finally I've had some feedback on my WebGrad site and will be soon adding the ability for users to get the RSS feed that I'm displaying on the site for themselves. This means users can user their own RSS readers rather than having to come to the WebGrad site.</p><p>Well that's it for now, but look out for a portfolio update in the coming weeks as I've got more of my work to add to it!</p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://blog.cityandwool.co.uk/my-month-on-update-as-a-multimedia-graduate">City&Wool's Posterous</a> </p> </div>Dan Rylandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17549484869577687353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965541923007683022.post-46149244392149681842011-05-23T13:51:00.001+01:002011-05-23T13:51:42.355+01:00New #WebGradEngine V2<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/cityandwool/MYtJhilf74wTvpZEeuPxjT3cJWVt0Lng10OYqVeRumDjwOJSpsIYvORswODi/v2-done.png"><img alt="V2-done" height="469" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/cityandwool/arJaSyBtf8m5wRWUBNs46l68yjfxZ5F09n0HSe7WPcLPELCm6BX3VbV23DVL/v2-done.png.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> </div> <p>A week on from the first release of The Web Grad Engine and I'm already rolling out V2.</p><p /><div><b>Presenting <a href="http://www.webgrad.co.uk">http://www.webgrad.co.uk</a></b><p /><div class="gmail_quote"> <b>What's new?</b></div><div class="gmail_quote"><ul><li>More Twitter keyword searches integrated into one feed for better results</li><li>Facebook Like button</li><li>A designated Twitter account for your suggestions - <a href="http://twitter.com/webgrad">@WebGrad</a></li> <li>It's own domain name - <a href="http://webgrad.co.uk">webgrad.co.uk</a></li><li>More results from feeds.

The reason for V1 being so limited in gathering information is because I wanted to get the ball rolling. Now it's a case of adding to improve usability and scope in the information it provides to the user.<br /> </p><div class="gmail_quote"><p /><div>Some notes I wrote down last night for V2 include the following -</div><p /><div><b>Merging different Twitter searches into one feed</b></div><div>Although merging these Twitter feeds will remove their avatars, just provide the user with a link to that particular Tweet, it might provide users with better quality of information. Last night while keeping track of the Twitter feed I noticed a Twitter user tweeting back to those who mentioned they 'need web designer.' This user would then tweet 'Hey, I here you need a web designer.' This would trigger my search to pick his tweet up too resulting in a mass of reply tweets. In merging the three it would break these mass reply tweets up.</div> <p /><div><b>Styling & Extras</b></div><div>Maybe some custom colours relating to where the information has come from for the RSS feeds. May be a little difficult as it will all be coming from one feed.</div> <p /><div>Adding in some more social media connections, for example, a Facebook 'like' button and Twitter stream for updates and developments on the Web Grad Engine.</div><p /><div>More columns for more information to be displayed.

I then came across Daqri. Daqri is currently a beta service that provides users with an easy non-code-heavy way of producing QR Codes that link to information on a user specific web page. It also provides the user with an Augmented Reality feature to add 3D models to the QR Code. The only problem with this is that the AR feature only works through the Daqri application, currently only on iPhone and iPad.<p /> Having been in contact with the developers at Daqri, I've managed to suggest for them to add a feature similar to my last artefact in adding an Augmented Reality video plane as adding video in this way increases its interactivity and the users engagement than just a plain 3D model without animation. I also had a few problems with their mobile as it wasn't optimised for mobile devices and was slow to load.<p /> In testing Daqri's functionalities it does work brilliantly however there are some areas that could be developed and improved. Ultimately the product did what I set out to do which was seeing if QR Codes and AR could help us share information, which it does. My only reserve is that the development of Augmented Reality is slower than QR Codes and it will take a little longer for the full potential of AR to be realised and users create applications for AR to be visually impressive and useful to the user. Nevertheless over the next year I can see a huge increase in the use of QR Codes on advertising and self-promotion items as it is a brilliant way of sharing information quickly. <p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/cityandwool/SEUPN8vaudMxSdp4sxAOBy7SJGHN78jPXC381L4uUcTk7ig9BjeFL9mdhdBV/Augmented_Reality_Business_Car.jpg"><img alt="Augmented_reality_business_car" height="500" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/cityandwool/eqPrCIjpaumTzFMnmTERpg50oXF98TkkBLnL4V6fjGHr74CvCBGK1FGeEFN4/Augmented_Reality_Business_Car.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/cityandwool/rY4jZVXFFX5niAAuXiUTrcezq1WCOod5RUifes2QO0WrB4YcVNh0TNv1JhUx/photo_3.png"><img alt="Photo_3" height="750" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/cityandwool/1JM5y3F0leSoWMnn1cpKrClsxmgozG1iG8HOoWBpnGynACUA14lzt4C88mqG/photo_3.png.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/cityandwool/AvOIFjFESyp9HMAAZJjPp9TVb7dW0W0KanQabN0Rt2UMAKt8a9SfsrbtPLaD/photo_4.png"><img alt="Photo_4" height="750" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/cityandwool/IwBRaM75O7fx1SJoy87AEsMMUU9kML825I7mUjSEQf6HhOKwknox73qPqSfo/photo_4.png.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <div class='p_see_full_gallery'><a href="http://blog.cityandwool.co.uk/artefact-6-evaluation">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> </p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://blog.cityandwool.co.uk/artefact-6-evaluation">City&Wool's Posterous</a> </p> </div>Dan Rylandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17549484869577687353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965541923007683022.post-69917489419958789722011-05-10T15:02:00.001+01:002011-05-10T15:02:21.191+01:00Multimedia Exhibition Images and Profile Text<div class='posterous_autopost'>Here are my five catalogue images for my final year Multimedia Exhibition in June.

This was back in <a href="http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=44936&c=1">January 2010</a>.</div> <p /><div>Unfortunately I couldn't find any outcome to the experiment either.</div><p /><div>I then stumbled upon <a href="http://www.currybet.net/cbet_blog/2010/01/the-flawed-french-facebook-twi.php">this interesting article</a> that referred to the French experiment as 'flawed' and highlighting that <b>social media is a conversation, not a newswire.</b></div> <p /><div>To add to that, tonight I've seen an interesting side to news and Twitter. Although you can get one off tweets that people could start taking as fact, you also have the conversation that develops from that which brings out more clarity to the situation. In hearing murmurs of a shooting, stabbing, kidnapping or any sort of situation you can always rely on journalists, which in this case were our very own Fly FM team, that are ready to explore the credibility of the initial statement.</div> <p /><div>For me tonight has highlighted the power that one tweet can have in sparking conversation, but it has also highlighted the importance of testing the credibility of statements before taking them as fact. Within 3 hours a short tweet gets put straight by a Police statement.
