wikitude

I just found this website that is called, ‘wikitude’. This is the website that provides information for travellers who would like to travel to places where they don’t know well. Simply you can write down the name of the city you wish to travel in the search engine of the website. Also it provides the download service of the information for the iPhone users from this year. At this point I thought it might be very similar to my project, ‘Mobile Travel Guide’ but I was wrong. This is the website that provides the information for the travllers through internet spaces and also iPhone format. However it provides only GPS and Google maps rather than the package of information for the travellers.

Anyway, the technologies are improving dramatically and it brought many ‘funky’ contents for us. Well, I really need to check the updated news and technologies more often.

RESEARCH : the effects of colours

There are 2 most important characters for the theories of colour and they are ‘Goethe’ and ‘Newton’. Both of them talked about the theories of colours and they have different opinions about the theories of colours.

Newton’s theory is more objective and it focuses more on scientific research. Whereas Goethe’s theory is subjective and he said that the theory of colours is perceptional.

There is another theory of colours from ‘Eva Heller’ as well. She said that the colours influence our emotion and reason.  She brought some examples that support her theories about the colour but I am not going to write about them here. Because I couldn’t find her book that is called ‘Wie Farben wirken (1989)’ .

I could find information about the book that is written in Germany but I couldn’t find English version of the book so far. I hope that I can find the English version of this book so that I can read it.

I could find some information about this book from blogs, thesis and other online resources but I think they are not good enough for my research.

*The things that I need to do are,

• Research more about the ‘meaning of the colours’
• Choose less tan 5 colours
• Choose the specific theory of colours, e.g. emotion/shape/symbolism and so on
• Confirm the timeline for the production/post production
