PROTOTYPING

KINECT

"Grandma"


  • SUMMARY

The first idea of the kinect project is to get photos of Chinese women born in the same year -1929 in different age as resource to make sequence scrubber . There are two reasons why I choose this year : one is that it was the year which my grandma born, and she passed away in the beginning of this year, therefore I took her photo as the last one in the sequence-which means the end of their generation ; another reason is as women born in late 20s, they have totally different experience as ours -- the Republic of China era to the People's Republic of China era, the the Great Leap Forward and 10-year cultural revolution ,most of them suffered at the first half of their life. To get these photos , I use Wiki Category to trace people born in the certain year . But there is a problem , the women I found from wiki , most of them are celebrities who live in the upper class . Since their face reflects their state of mind and events they encountered, the samples I got probably are too invariable. I would like to get more multifarious samples ,so I tried another way to search. By using Flickr as the target resource website, I got women's photos in different ages by keywords [ ages , grandma ] such as (30s, grandma) . The results I got here are much meaningful than using Wiki Category.

  • DISADVANTAGE

The results I got from Flickr were not so precise-their birth years were uncern , probably from 1910s to 1950s. The bigger time span lead the topic of this project to a more vague situation.
