Hello all, just a quick post following my first practise using the interface on the touchscreen this morning.
My principal jobs so far with this project have been to work closely with the graphics/video members of the group in the design and creation of our interactive interface and to assemble the interface and content within MaxMSP – putting it all together!
I’ve been working over the past fortnight or so to build the interface at home on my laptop and today I took what I had so far to use with touchscreen. As planned, everything is nicely spaced and laid out, clear and most importantly, feels very easy to operate with the screen and runs very smoothly.
The video below shows me briefly operating the device, showing off the overall look and feel of the interface, with some of the animations and graphics now in place. Obviously there is still a lot of content yet to be integrated on the other pages but you get the idea of how it’s going to work.
Just a quick note to Rob, I have emailed you about this but we will need Max to be upgraded to the latest version (5.1.5) as some of the added functionality with certain objects is necessary to how our installation works. The DMG is on the desktop of the Mac Mini but needs the administrator password to be installed. Thanks!
Hi James,
ReplyDeleteThis is looking really great. Good work so far!
Obviously some re-alignment of the text is needed on the message box, but very easy to sort this.
As a main interface this works really well. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the content in your demo next week.
The version of Max you requested has been installed on the Mac Mini by the way.
Cheers Rob! Yes the realignment should be a quick job, the text is left over from a placeholder graphic before that 'parchment' style one appeared. In the end, the text will probably also be part of an image file for a nice polished look!
