Project 1 : The Second Self
The avatar, who am I & the alter ego
Explore the concepts of self identity through designing and modelling an avatar and a 3D computer generated environment for it. The lectures will cover the concepts encompassing identities and animation. The seminars will introduce you to various 3D animation and modelling techniques. The surgeries will add addition support for exploring the relationships between self identity and the design of your avatar.
A Diary of an Avatar
Create an avatar in online 3D environments, like Second Life and Virtual Doppelganger spend some time exploring the virtual environments and communication with the residents. Keep diary of at least four weeks of your Avatar’s experiences and screen shots and publish them on your journal between weeks 20 to 32.
The 2nd Self & Identities Progress Presentation
Make a 10 minute presentation about your design process that explains: your approach to research and the methods and concepts that you used to design and develop your avatar. The presentation should also include a short evaluation and a synopsis of your diary entries documenting your avatar’s progress in Second Life (or other similar virtual environment). It should also describe your design ideas and the techniques you have planned for Project 2- Navigating your Identity
