Adapting to Actionscript 3.0

Although not as complex as my previous models, I tried to model a simple 7-seg driver for geting used to Actionscript 3.0... There, I posted a simple interactive toy as well :)

Yaptığım eski modeller kadar karmaşık olmasa da Actionscript 3.0 kullanarak basit bir 7-seg sürücü modellemeye çalıştım...İki tane de etkileşimli oyuncak ekledim sayfaya :)...

In this link you can also see the AS3 code for the interface...

Bu adreste arayüzün AS3 kodunu da bulabilirsiniz...

Flash CS3 is certainly better in vector graphics...! (7-seg was drawn in AI-the rest is Flash CS3)

Flash CS3 vektör grafiklerde gerçekten çok daha iyi...! (7-seg AI'de çizildi, gerisi Flash CS3)

Actionscript tutorial link...

Broken link repaired :)

Planning a new 'discount' usability lab...

I will post a diagram here when I am done...

Rivalry: Thinking on an alternative for a really learning interface...!

Thinking at the moment ...

I will soon try to post my initial ideas about a learning interface, that really remembers like we do... :D Let's see who is more creative :D Me or them...?

Animus - Character, memory, consciousness...

Yakında buraya aklıma gelen bir öğrenen arayüz fikrini eklemeyi düşünüyorum ...:D Bakalım kim daha yaratıcı :D Ben mi onlar mı..?

Claim: "Magically adapts to your every desire..."

I wonder whether this is just an ad slogan or whether they developed an algorithm or a "machine learning" thing for this...Maybe I can buy one to check it myself :)

Other cellphones developed by this company are interesting and pretentious in the sense that they suggest new ways of interaction (Soul and Tocco)(actually I should say 'user input') and they seek to broaden environment of use (such as miCoach)...Let's see whether they will come up with innovative interface ideas or not...

Acaba gerçekten kullanıcının isteklerini öğrenmeye yönelik bir algoritma mı var yoksa sadece bir reklam sloganı mı? Sırf bunun için telefon alınır mı bilmiyorum ama merak ediyorum :)

Firmanın ürettiği telefonlar önerdikleri etkileşim tarzı (Soul ve Tocco) ve yeni kullanım alanları (miCoach) açısından da iddialı gibi duruyor. Bakalım gerçekten yenilikçi bir arayüz tasarımı var mı? Ya da hepsi reklam mı?

For the phones mentioned above check out the Flash app. on top of the window/Bahsedilen telefonları görmek için sayfanın üstündeki Flash uygulamasına bakın:

Video game as a trainer for the American army!

RWS (Remote Weapon Systems) are becoming widely used war machines because of many of their advantages over conventional combat weapons. The video game named 'America's Army' and how it is utilized by American Army is interesting to illustrate that virtual reality, games and rock-hard reality are interwoven...What is more interesting is although the game is not developed with a tight budget it is distributed free...

Turkish players developed a patch to get rid of the step where players ought to take an oath for protecting American lifestyle...They are pride of their team called Atak TR and how they shoot down real American soldiers... Ironic!

2-ch PIP processor!

Sakın benden önce hepsini satın almayın... !

PIP bence çok yararlı bir video karıştırma tipi, çoğu zaman basit ama etkili bir çözüm oluyor. Kullanılabilirlik testlerinde, özellikle mobil setting'lerde kullanılabilecek bir işleyiciye benziyor. Satın alıp deneme şansı bulursam buradan elde ettiğim sonuçları da anlatırım. Bildiğiniz benzer cihazlar varsa yazar mısınız?

Do not purchase these units before I do! Seems to be a satisfactory "poor man's video mixer"... PIP is my favourite way of mixing video. It is simple yet effective...

Unit may be useful in usability tests, especially in mobile settings. If I try this equipment I will let you know... I hope the quality is satisfactory. If you came across such specialized equipment please let me know.
