WEEK3
So today we were supposed to bring the coasters that we had to make throughout the week. But some of us were unable to complete the coasters and so sir gave one more week to complete our coasters.
And then we moved forward to todays topic that was “HAPTICS”. It is about any form of interaction involving touch, texture, impressions, pressure.
After that we discussed about the types of Grips;
- Hold
- Comfort
- Action-Reaction
- Balance
- Pressure
- Surface type, etc.
Then sir asked us about some of the Actions that we do with our hands like;
- Catching
- Pulling
- Pushing
- Holding
- Carrying
- Throwing
- Catching
- Hitting
- Writing, etc. And sir asked us to write down a list to these actions and grips as much as we can think of. Here is what I thought of:
After this we got to know about “Degree Of Freedom” ie; the number of motions an object can do.
We then had to draw those action in our sketch books, it was really easy to say all the actions done by hands but was equally difficult to draw them. We had to make 5 of them in the beginning but then sir gave us an hour long break and go around the campus and observe new actions, and write down another list of things that we think of that was not added in the list above. Here is the list:
Then we came back and had to make more 10 of them different from the ones we made above. So today we observed a lot to get different grips and more importantly drawing them!
