Title
An online knowledge gateway for industrial design education and research activities
Abstract
This poster presents the development of DesignNet, a knowledge-based project to the online digital display, retrieval and archiving of rich media resources for industrial design education and research. The project addresses the needs of end-users (teachers and students) and content providers interacting with the School of Design of the Politecnico di Milano. It moves from the assumption that conventional modalities of archiving and presentation currently adopted by the Politecnico and other academic institutions are not coherent with design teaching. Typical outputs of industrial design process are in fact 3D models or 2D graphics (digital and/or physical), not just texts or simple images. The challenges, philosophy and methodology in creating this evolving Web-based, cataloguing, multimedia knowledge-base of Virtual Reality and textual design resources are discussed, along with description of the related system and prototype.
