  1. XCTL System Visualization of the use of XCTL by multimedia means 21.08.03 Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  2. Visualization of the use of XCTL by multimedia means Contents Introduction Demonstration Making and Effort Further Development Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  3. Initiation  Novi Sad 2001: Wish for a multimedia (MM) presentation to allow a better understanding of the XCTL problem domain. Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  4. First Steps (Chronology - 1) • Nov. 2002: Decision for a MM production Previous knowledge: none !! • Dec. 2002: First dialogue with the physicists • Contents: • Announcing the intent • Presenting own imaginations • Discovering their imaginations • Aims: • Attracting the physicists • Concretion of contents • Result: • Interest of the physicists present  Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  5. First Steps (Chronology - 2) • Jan. – Mar. 2003: concretion of project and material securing • 19th of Feb. 2003: Issued financial support request for the project within the framework of MM supporting program of HU Berlin (7 pages) • Short title: XCTL Project: Multimedia presentation • Contents: beside others Target groups • Physics: students and lecturers • Pupils: „Doors Open Day“ at HU • Informatics: students and lecturers • Partners from South East Europe Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  6. First Steps (Chronology - 3) • ... • Contents: beside others Target groups ... Applied fonts • 10.000 Euro for HW and SW • 1 student assistant (1 year with 80 hours per month) Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  7. First Steps (Chronology - 4) • Jan. – Mar. 2003: concretion of project and material securing • 4th of Mar. 2003: acceptance of request funds in part: • 4.000 Euro for HW and SW • 1 student assistant (1 year with 40 hours per month) Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  8. Visualization of the use of XCTL by multimedia means Contents Introduction Demonstration Making and Effort Further Development Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  9. Demonstration (1) The implementation of the product is done by Andreas Wenzel (student assistant). He started on 5th of August.  Up to now very little time! Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  10. Demonstration (2) • Characteristics of MM program • Platform: Windows (UNIX later) • Display: 1024 x 768 pixels • Program exists in two variants • .exe  Main program with Flashplayer 6 included • .html  Using MS Internet Explorer  Demonstration Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  11. Visualization of the use of XCTL by multimedia means Contents Introduction Demonstration Making and Effort Further Development Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  12. Making and Effort (1) Architecture and Scripts. • U. Sacklowski, Mrs Richter (physicist) • Utilities: Word, hand sketches and screenshots example Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  13. Making and Effort (2) • Implementation • . • A. Wenzel • Tools • Flash MX with scripting language (main tool)Design vector graphics once and publish to print, the web, and Macromedia Flash. • Freehand MX (for difficult drawings)Create interactive content and Rich Internet Applications. Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  14. Making and Effort (3) Videos • Shot by a colleague from the CMS (Computer and Media Service at HU) • Cutting and titleing by same colleague from the CMS, Mrs. Richter and U. Sacklowski Software: Media100 Photos • Pictures taken by a colleague from the CMS • Edited by A. Wenzel Software: Photoshop Audio (Speech)  later (Nov. 2003?) Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  15. PC (Software) Dev. platform: Windows Object Technics Format Integration Making and Effort (4) Laboratory application flow Video camera Media 100 MPEG-1 Speech (later) Micro Cooledit (?) WAV, MP3 Laboratory picture Digital camera Photoshop TIFF, JPEG Flash MX + Action script Silverfast Photoshop PSD, JPEG, GIF, PNG Document Scanner Text PC Flash MX FLA Flash MX (Freehand MX) Graphic PC FLA Flash MX + Action script Animation PC FLA Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  16. Making and Effort (5) Getting to know on your own new media and methodology with relatively high effort.For example: • Exposure to new media (usage, formats) • Managing complex synchronisations • Working with flash scripts • Handling dramaturgy • Estimating the effort Getting to know on your own new complex tools  Underestimation of effort! Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  17. Making and Effort (6) Making and Effort (6) Two concrete examples: Make three videos • Analysis and design: about 3 days • Shooting: about 3 hours • Cutting and titleing: about 8 hours • Rendering: about 1 hour Animation of azimuthal adjustment • Analysis and design: about 5 days • Implementation: about 7 days Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  18. Visualization of the use of XCTL by multimedia means Contents Introduction Demonstration Making and Effort Further Development Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  19. Further Development (1) Restriction: student assistant • 40 hours per month • August 2003 – July 2004 Priorities • More attractive GUI • Choosing important examples • Choosing attractive examples Aim: Motivation of other chairs in the institute of physics, too Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  20. Further Development (2) Products • Diffraction models (e.g.: Wave fronts after C. Huygens) • Adjustment: Theoretical explanation with Kossel cones • Topography: Presentation of further steps Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  21. Further Development (3)  Demonstration Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin

  22. Further Development (4) Thank yu fr yur attentin! Ohrid, 25. – 31.08.2003; U. Sacklowski, Dept. of Computer Science, HU-Berlin
