Not just care for humans, care for objects (repair), care for our environment, care for non-human organisms. Teaching is also a form of care (care for the future?). Honest journalism could be care for the past.
Play is not just games, but acting, singing, dancing, making art, performing.
Can you think of other examples of Care and Play?
1. Brief: Care and Play (continued)
I'm going to concentrate my lectures into two areas:
1) Computer vision in the browser to allow for bodily, facial, object and gaze interaction.
2) Multiplayer interaction to allow many users to use 1) together.
For the end of year show, I want you all to build web-based multiuser interactions to help people through these strange times.
Your projects don't need to be "worthy", they just have to make you and your peers feel care or play.
This is an opportunity to make tools that could help millions of people.
You are going to need to work together to help each other build these multiuser projects. You are going to need to help each other test and develop them. It's perfectly valid to make projects that solely help other people make, test and improve their projects. What matters to you right now? Why?
1. Brief: Care and Play (continued)
I'd like to try out a new method of doing crits. This was borrowed from Golan Levin.
I'd like everyone to make a Google Doc when people are presenting their work, and work together to make a whole document of thinking to give to the person at the end of their crit. This document will form the basis of the discussion we have immediately afterwards.
Is there a better tool for this than Google Docs? Etherpad?
What do you want your team names to be? I've already added you all to the GitHub as contributors, so edit as you see fit. Message me on Slack with your Github username if you don't have access.
2. Background to the brief:
The thinking for this term's project came from a presentation I saw between Christmas 2019 and NYE by David Graeber: "From Managerial Feudalism to the Revolt of the Caring Classes":
Please take some time to watch this presentation today. Perhaps immediately after this lecture when you don't have a team meeting? Before lunch? You could even watch the video as a team.
4. A preview of some of the most interesting examples we'll be going through this summer.
Use this list to help you start thinking about your project. Don't forget to sketch first! Keep those drawings and use them for the beginning of your end of term presentation. Suggestions for use are just that!
Marker Tracking. Use this to allow people to make puppets with their fingers or nail varnish or t shirts.
Object Recognition. You'll need to run this locally Joel! (Run "http-server -c-1" in "/2020_04_11_KyleMcDonaldCVExamples/cv-examples-master". Use this to understand people's environments.

Image Classifier. Use this to get people to find things to show to their computer.

Palettes. Use this to get pretty colours for your app.
Patterns. Use this to let lots of people to make a picture together.
I think this could be useful to allow you to have a) multiple sketches running on the same page and b) easier integration with other JavaScript libraries.
6. Refresher p5.js demos.
p5.js 1.0 is here! Lots of updates, new libraries and support for loading animated gifs!
It's going to be up to you guys to come up with a design, I've got a paid account at Glitch, so your apps won't go to sleep - so you can have persistent high scores, worlds or spaces. They also have unlimited users!

What questions to do you have for me?
What are your concerns? What are you worried about? What do you want to ask but you are
embarrassed?
