Although it's difficult to think of something entirely newly invented, I think a really handy new media product for artists would be a device or an application if you will, that can capture a pose made in real life and convert it to a 3D model for reference. This would be an app on the phone and you would take a picture of the "model" and pose in real life and it would convert it to a 3D model. You would then have the choice of customizing it, so perhaps you can include lighting on the 3D model for ease of reference for a light source. Of course, for the sake of convenience, this app will be able to convert the file to several formats — PNG, JPEG, PSD. Why PSD? I imagine you could take a picture of several "models" (keep in mind there can be more than one model) and you would be able to alter their position slightly via layers as you're working on the artwork. The app should also let you upload an existing picture and highlight where the desired model is, so you can always come back to old pictures taken to recreate new 3D models to upload. Of course, if you're by yourself, you can always take a picture of yourself doing the pose, as there would be a "countdown" feature on the app, where it will countdown from 5 or 10 seconds until it automatically takes a picture.
Since we're in a highly technological era, constantly developing as more ideas flourish by innovators, it's important to integrate new media into our institution and education. Something that's quite prevalent is the use of mobile apps by students for convenience. There are plenty of apps out there that allow students to create their own schedules with the times and dates and input their assignments and due dates. However, there are plenty of students who don't want to bother inputting every time stamp and having to add in every future assignment listed in their syllabus. In addition, it is time-consuming to input all the future homework and class information into an app and even more aggravating when the app turns out to be a complete flop after using it for a few days. What I propose is an app made by Baruch that is specifically catered to the institution's system of communicating classes. The app can allow for widgets on the screen to make it easier fo...
Hi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteI feel like this is an interesting thought because of the fact that this would be very helpful for a lot of people that are into clothing designs. They would be able to make poses and upload them to edit, giving them the ability to have a better prototype of what the real design will be like.
