World Idea’s
My initial idea was to use a 3D globe that you could navigate around and pick the location to search. I research as many designs and quirky idea’s of hoe to change the appearance of the world. I wanted to add something a little bit different in the design of the globe.
The problem with a globe that was 3D was not only my technical ability, but how easy it would be to navigate.
“This refers to a wide range of people with varying types of physical disabilities. With regards to the web is refers largely to people with upper limb mobility, manual dexterity and co-ordination problems. This can be caused though a disability that an individual is born with or one that develops due to illness such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s or a stroke. People with a broken bone would also temporarily fall into the category”

My first though was how people with disabilities could handle a complex. I tried it myself on Google earth and also asked a few friend’s navigate to a location. I found that all seven had some difficulty a first with direction and mouse use.
I felt that this was and could be a big hindrance to my project. My project is based on connecting anyone from anywhere with people and a website that didn’t exclude anyone.
This along with my ability in flash was the deciding factor in creating a more simple way of navigating the globe.
