Brad Curtis Innovation

New Media is basically anything visual and using some form of electronics to create something new and/or help make life easier. Innovation is the process of creating something new, whether it’s something entirely new or a new way of doing something already.

1. Video games – realistic graphics and game play
2. Movies – like Blu-Ray to get HD
3. Meijers (where I work) – scan barcodes to order more product
4. Bowling – keep track of scoring and use animation for various things
5. Vehicles – navigational features to help with directions

∙For video games, there are mainly three companies that do it now. There is Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Sega used to do it.
∙It involves putting together many different circuits and creating an interface to interact with both on screen and in the user’s hands.
∙It was mainly aimed at teenager boys, but has tried to incorporate adults, a younger group, and females. Nintendo’s newest systems, the Wii and DS, have been aimed at those non-gamers.
∙Flash games are being made all the time, so by using these systems if I choose, I could create something with more power.
