We've taken our first tentative steps into the world of Processing.

In this post I'm going to be using Processing to try out a method of speeding up many to many collision detection.

Thu, 27 May 2010 10:25 +0100

One annoyance with FDT is that after it unexpectedly quits it will often stall the next time you start it up at "Loading Workbench", this morning I found a very simple solution.

Wireframing

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:02 +0100

Last month I blogged about the paper prototyping work we did with students for the Reference Tree project. As I mentioned in that post – paper prototyping is a great way to start a project off on the right foot. But it's by no means an exhaustive usability testing process, and since the initial prototypes we needed to move forward with the development process.

Paper Prototyping

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 11:42 +0100

Yesterday I put away my laptop and got back to basics. I was working together with my good friends at Liveline in developing the early stages of interface design and user journeys for Reference Tree – an interesting new project that will allow university students to license academic textbook content by the chapter.

Simple 3D

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 19:30 +0100

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine showed me some impressive 3d demos of roxik's 3d engine 'sharikura' and after I had wiped the drool off my desk it got me wondering how difficult it would be to write my own 3d engine, rather than relying on Papervision and Away3D. The results of my initial experiment lie within!

The Laboratory of extraspecial analysis

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 15:31 +0100

Hello, welcome to Mohu's first labs post. The idea of the labs posts are to share our potentially crazy but occasionally useful ideas on code and design and hopefully get a little feedback. I'm going to kick it off in my next post by sharing my first forays into the world of 3d coding ( from scratch rather than using Papervision etc ), looks like it could be a tricky one, should be fun!
