WikiMindMap - Wiki Visualization

WikiMindMap is a tool to browse easily and efficiently in Wiki content, inspired by the mindmap technique. Wiki pages in large public wiki's, such as wikipedia, have become rich and complex documents. Thus, it is not allways straight forward to find the information you are really looking for. This tool aims to support users to get a good structured and easy understandable overview of the topic you are looking for. The browser is a modified version of the GNU GPL licenced Flash browser for FreeMind. All content of the mindmap is derived from the wiki which was selected and is available under the terms of GNU Free Documentaion Licence. Any other content and the conceptual idea of this website belong to the author.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DESIGNER

Irene Pereyra & Tom Klinkowstein recently presented their "day in the life of a networked designer's smart things or a day in a designer's networked smart things, 2030" at the Pratt Institute. The project was made for the Singapore Design Festival and deals with an imagined designer's day, anno 2030. Irene & Tom created a diary like wall-sized map (pdf) taking the viewer on a day's journey through the life of a designer as if sitting on her shoulder and reading the world through her mind's eye. A smart-tech-infused future comes to life through the experience of the designer via a fascinating, diverse yet integrated storyline.

VISUAL THESAURUS

This application began life as a web-based tool in 1998. Since then, Plumb Design (www.visualthesaurus.com) updated it, and released it as a stand alone product earlier this year. Visual Thesaurus, as its name indicates, provides you with a graphical way to find words, their meanings, and their synonyms. It uses the WordNet database provided by the Cognitive Science Laboratory at Princeton University (www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/). It handles English language words only.

It is, if nothing else, a unique approach to looking up words. While moving over to another program in order to look up a word is less than ideal, having to move over to this program may make it not quite so hard to deal with. Can you find the synonym to that word to need to make deadline? Sure, although because of the graphical nature of the presentation, it may be more difficult than usual to find exactly what you are looking for. That doesn't necessarily seem to be the point of this program, however. I found myself just exploring related links to words that jumped out at me. It became a fun sort of game to follow along a random selection path to find out what would pop up next.

BLUE BRAIN PROJECT

The Blue Brain project is the first comprehensive attempt to reverse-engineer the mammalian brain, in order to understand brain function and dysfunction through detailed simulations.

In July 2005, EPFL and IBM announced an exciting new research initiative - a project to create a biologically accurate, functional model of the brain using IBM's Blue Gene supercomputer. Analogous in scope to the Genome Project, the Blue Brain will provide a huge leap in our understanding of brain function and dysfunction and help us explore solutions to intractable problems in mental health and neurological disease.

At the end of 2006, the Blue Brain project had created a model of the basic functional unit of the brain, the neocortical column. At the push of a button, the model could reconstruct biologically accurate neurons based on detailed experimental data, and automatically connect them in a biological manner, a task that involves positioning around 30 million synapses in precise 3D locations.

CAMBRIDGE INSTITUTE FOR MANUFACTURING

Summary of Tools and Techniques. The tools listed below are organised according to the Key Design Activities of the Design Maturity Model. Some may be familiar under these or similar names. Others, such as 'Process on a page' have been developed during the GDP project in response to company needs. The key goals of many of these design tools are to:

- bring together opinions, experiences and perspectives from around the business and support teamwork
- encourage a customer focus and customer involvement
- promote creativity and divergence when developing alternatives
- encourage decision making based on information rather than prejudice or gut-feel

RIGHT BRAIN VS. LEFT BRAIN CREATIVITY TEST

Being creative or artistic doesn’t mean you know how to draw or play an instrument. Being creative is a way of thinking, a way of viewing the world.

Test is placed on the Vancouver Art School Website.

FOUR TEMPERAMENTS VS MBTY

David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates discovered that the needs of the sixteen Myers-Briggs personality types could be organized into four temperaments, a notion that goes back to ancient Greece.

INTERACTIVE PLUSH TOYS DESIGN FOR DUMMIES

This really neat system, created by Yuki Mori and Takeo Igarashi from The University of Tokyo, allows nonprofessionals (even those who are not able to draw "appropriately" a 2D pattern) to design their own original plush toys. Plushie constructs 2D patterns and applies simple physical simulation to it on the fly during 3D modeling. The model on the screen is thus always a good approximation of the final sewn result, which makes the design process much more efficient.
