Visualizing alternative stories through manipulation of animation design options
Middle East Peace Potential through Dynamics in Spherical Geometry (Part #5)
[Parts: First | Prev | Next | Last | All] [Visuals] [Links: To-K | From-K | From-Kx | Refs ]
The purpose is to enable people to experiment interactively with various "stories", especially in the two-dimensional territorial occupation phase. Clearly some options privilege one framework and place the other at a disadvantage. The options could could be seen like a musical keyboard in which the challenge is to render elegant the relationships between the two by manipulating the many combinations of parameters. The animation offered as a demo is the consequence of one set of design choices. Clearly many others are possible. The animation could itself be improved in a variety of ways with greater expertise..
| Interactive design options in composing a story | ||
| Option | 5-fold Islamic Star | 6-fold Star of David |
| Generating symbol | change visibility (variable) change "pulse" rate | change visibility (variable) change "pulse" rate |
| Polygonal "vehicle" container: line width | thin to invisible thick | thin to invisible thick |
| Polygonal "vehicle" container: colour | neutral (black) alternative colour alternating colour ("blinking") | neutral (black) alternative colour alternating colour ("blinking") |
| Polygonal "vehicle" container: phasing visibility | permanent periodic unpredictable/random | permanent periodic unpredictable/random |
| Symbol | outline (optional width) filled | outline (optional width) filled |
| Symbol colour | conventional red alternative colour alternating colour ("blinking") | conventional blue alternative colour alternating colour ("blinking") |
| Symbol: phasing visibility | permanent periodic unpredictable/random | permanent periodic unpredictable/random |
| Space prior to "occupation" | polygon (absent/present) symbol (absent/present) | polygon (absent/present) symbol (absent/present) |
| Space "occupation" phase | do before 6-fold do concurrently do after 6-fold | do before 5-fold do concurrently do after 5-fold |
| Space "occupation" rate | slowly (encroachment?) faster (invasion/rockets?) | slowly (encroachment?) faster (invasion/rockets?) |
| Consequence of site "occupation" | polygon (empty/colour filled) symbol (absent/visible) | polygon (empty/colour filled) symbol (absent/visible) |
| On completion of all "occupation" (A) | make symbols (dimly) visible | make symbols (dimly) visible blink symbols (randomly) symbols (occasionally) visible empty polygons (and colour fill) |
| On completion of all "occupation" (B) -- success scenario | highlight (blink) connectivity lines through 5-fold and 6-fold outline symbols | highlight (blink) connectivity lines through 5-fold and 6-fold outline symbols |
| On completion of all "occupation" (B) -- success scenario | highlight (blink) connectivity lines through clusters of 5-fold and 6-fold outline symbols | highlight (blink) connectivity lines through clusters of 5-fold and 6-fold outline symbols |
| On completion of all "occupation" (D) -- failure scenario | move 5-fold polygons back to origin, emptying site locations | move 6-fold polygons back to origin, emptying site locations |
