A very similar idea and concept with my FYP title. It also is using tablet to teach those who don't know Chinese Calligraphy with the interaction between the device. And this device is actually fully build by the student while not just using the common tablet which can be found in the market.
It was developed by a design courses student called Daniel Yoon who currently now working as a product designer at LDA (www.lumdesign.com), which is a product design consultancy, located in Irvine California. This work shown is from the days he as a student at Art Center College of Design - Pasadena, CA.
The goal was to create a multi user interface device that was touch based. He decided to develop a system that would teach users how to write Chinese Calligraphy for Chinese Americans. The reason for this is that most of Chinese Americans he have met here in the USA, know how to speak mandarin/Cantonese, but did not know how to read or write.
The user can use the system in 2 ways.
1. Learn from the device
2. Learn with another person (father, grandparent, or friend)
When learning with the device alone, one half of the screen would show a character being written with all of the proper brush strokes being illustrated. The second half of the screen(the user's half) would
then be for the user to copy the same brush strokes that was being written by the device. As the student becomes more advanced, they can then transition into learning sentences.
As for the actual device itself, it is basically a tablet PC with a touch based interface. Two brush tipped stylus' are included with the system.
The form itself was derived from "brush strokes" as the shape resembles the tapering line weight effect of written characters.
The device can be used either flat, or propped up. In the up position it can display previous work that the user is proud of.
This is the final out come.For more detail, please click here.
