MusiKritical: combine music and food

Concept:

an interaction design project that deals with the connection of food and music and tries to combine the two. the music changes itself automatically in direct connection with the food served. moving the salt and pepper changes the volume. 

How this works:

this works with the RFID technology using a Flash platform and Phidgets chips. the project was created during the course IDHO 2008 (interaction design hands on!) at Holon Institute of Technology, Israel. 

here's a link to the IDHO 2008 course website for more similar projects.

Teaching the visual literacy in the digital age

this website was developed from zero as a presentation of a new concept in teaching and learning the visual literacy for Dr. Shlomo Lee Abrahamov, teacher in many schools and universities in israel.
Dr. Abrahamov teaches the visual literacy in a unique way in israel: he is using the web tools, such as forums and other collaborative tools, to enhance the learning process.

the website had 3 earlier versions and in total of 300 man-hours of work. 3-4 people were involved in the process for about one year.
