Interface Proposal

My final project will be a flash interactive animation about a device with the ability to cure blindness or any other eye diseases. The Visual cortex must be intact to function.
Actually the device is separated in 2 parts: the 1st device are glasses worn by the user, it will receive light information (like our eyes do) and send that information to the 2nd device. This other device is a brain implant; it will translate the binary information into electric impulses. These impulses will be sent to the brain and analyzed like if it was natural information coming from the eyes.
I will try to make my work look like a blind person using the device explains how the device cured his handicap. This would be a good opportunity to include more touching comments.

My interface will represent the glasses as part of the human body. The interface will first be represented will all its components , but with the user input, it will move the camera’s sight and focus on the parts selected by the user, including the brain, the implant, the glasses, also the interactions between those 3 entities will be described beside. So technically, I will have 4 interactive images:
1- Main interface
2- Blind or visually handicapped man
3- Brain implant
4- Glasses

It is somehow a continuation of my previous work with Therese, but dealt in a different manner. The final work will look like a white space with those three elements and the user able to move freely between them. The movement between the elements will be showed like camera motion. I am also thinking about making all the elements in black in white, to simulate a color blind vision. For the visual representation I am thinking of calking images found on the internet, so it will have this more personalised look. For the text, I might also scan my own writing, to give an even more personalised look.

I have a hard time representing my concept in drawings and words. Also it still isn’t clear in my own head how it is going to look.

Oups gave my sketches to Joey & forgot to scan them & blog it !
