Beschreibung

We're going mobile: Packt die Geräte ein, wir gehen raus!

Dieses Semester nehmen wir "Mobile Devices" wörtlich: wir durchschreiten den Raum (spatio -> spazieren), untersuchen wie mobile ubiquitäre Technik unser räumliches Verständnis und unser Verhalten verändert. Was ist virtueller und "echter" Raum, wo überlagern sich beide, welche neuen Räume entstehen dadurch? Welche klassischen Navigationssysteme im Raum (Markierungen, Zeichen, Wegweiser, Wegleitsysteme, Karten, Kompass, Sterne...) gibt es und wie verändern moderne Gerätschaften mit GPS, WiFi & Mobilfunk Triangulation oder Location Based Social Services unsere Wahrnehmung von Raum.

Welche Daten können mit Kamera, Mikrofon, Sensorik und GPS bzw. allgemein "Data Loggern" erfasst werden und welche Auswertungen, Visualisierung oder Sonifizierungsmöglichkeiten gibt es für diese Daten? Welche künstlerischen, erzählerischen oder angewandten Strategien gibt es zur Auseinandersetzung mit Raum, Navigation und Technik, welche Auswirkung hat Technik auf Empfindung von Distanzen?

Wir werden Daten aufzeichnen, existerende aktuelle Techniken (Outdoor-Activity Planner) nutzen, in Feldversuchen testen, wie man ohne Technik durch den Raum navigiert und uns künstlerische Auseinandersetzungen mit Raumrezeption und zeitlicher Dimensionen ansehen. Außerdem besteht die Möglichkeit, das an der Professur Interface Design entwickelte "Fingi" Projekt zu nutzen.

Ergebnisse des Moduls können Analysen, (App-)Konzepte, künstlerische Installation oder tatsächliche Umsetzungen sein. Das Modul kann auch zur unterstützenden Evaluierung von ortsbezogenen Projekten genutzt werden.


English description

We're going mobile: Grab your mobile, let's go outside!

We will cross through space, we'll look at how ubiquitous location aware technology has changed our perception of space. We'll look at classic navigation systems (maps, compass, signage, stars...) and how technology changes our spacial understanding and behavior.

We may collect data with data loggers and see what we can do with it in an artistic or applied context. And we will look at how technology changed our perception of distance.

We may also work with the Interface-Design group project "Fingi Form and Function Toolkit".


Field Trips

  • Soundwalk from Janet Cardiff in Cospeda across the "Windknollen": http://www.jena1806.de
  • Planning Outdoor activities with komoot and other outdoor navigation apps; most likely on the Saale Horizontale in Jena
  • Geo-Caching
  • Location Based Social Games
  • ... (to be announced) ...
  • Student contributed suggestions

Topics

  • Navigation in Space (Spazieren, Stadt, Natur, Outdoor, Reisen, Pendeln), Wegleitsysteme, Kennzeichen, Kartografierung, Mobile Systems, Navi, Outdoor Apps, Touristic, Exploration, Social Sphere, Raummodelle, Geschichte der Orte, Verortung
  • Data logging, Sensors. Data Visualization & Sonification
  • Data and distance Inter-spacial and virtual distances: Continuation possible in Winter Semester 2014 with the State University of New York in Buffalo
  • Fingi Platform: http://www.uni-weimar.de/fandf/

Prerequisite

  • Active participation, Freude am Spazieren (ca. 2 to 4 hours per field trip, sometimes plus public transport time)
  • Planning and preparing (or assisting in preparations) of a field trip. Everyone should suggest and help coordinating trips
  • Aside from some theoretical and technical meetings within the specified timeframe, the field trips may not always fit exactly in the stated hours. It is expected from all participants to be flexible on Tuesday afternoons when it comes to the length and duration of the course.
    • (DE) Neben einigen wenigen theoretisch-technischen Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Thema und den existierenden Möglichkeiten, die im angegebenen Zeitrahmen stattfinden, werden die Feldversuche im Außenraum vermutlich nicht immer in den 4 SWS Rahmen passen, so dass Dienstags eine gewissen zeitliche Flexibilität von den Teilnehmern erwartet wird.

Registration Procedure

To register for the course, please send an eMail due to March 31st with the Topic "Registration for GoingMobile" to Michael.Markert (at) uni-weimar.de, incuding the following informations:

  • Full Name
  • program and semester (Studienprogramm und Fachsemester)
  • matriculation number (Matrikelnummer)
  • Angabe der geltenden Prüfungsordnung (eg. PV27 or PV29)
  • Valid email address @uni-weimar.de (no other mailing addresses will be accepted)
  • One short sentence why you want to (have to) be in this course (german or english)

If there are more than 15 registrations, students will be accepted depending on:

  • Order (first come, first serve)
  • If you are in a Project of Interface-Design (see Prof. Jens Geelhaar's semester projects this semester)
  • What you've written in "why I want to be in this course"

If there are more than 20 registrations, there might be a kick-off event with an evaluation competition.


Leistungsnachweis

  • Active and regular participation
  • Progress on the individual project you are working on
  • Creating a piece of work / concept / app:
    • The expected minimum should be a concept of a location based mobile app with a description, storyboards and (if possible) a functional dummy
    • As an alternative to a concept, (scientific) papers that evaluate existing or new location based mobile apps are also welcome
  • It would be desirable if we get enough material by beginning of July set up a small exhibition for the Summary
  • 2 minute presentation at the IFD:Showreel

Projects and Documentations

Please copy this entry (NameOrPseudonym) and create your own subpage:

  • Explanation of the Media-Wiki code for a link:
    • The square brackets create an internal link here in this wiki (linking to a new or existing page).
