Feature Requests for Visual Display

The landing page will promote musical collaboration, see Feature Requests for Interactive List of Songs, Versions and Snippets.

List of Songs

Each song to offer visitors options to possibly:

  • listen to each tune, or play in order
  • view lead sheets and oratorio scores
  • play backing tracks with lyrics for karaoke
  • customize the playlist and illustrations
  • upload and download in musicxml format
  • upload and download illustrations

Illustrated Libretto

The illustrated libretto will follow the music and user can open lead sheets, karaoke and community videos. It plays like a video playlist that people can switch out illustrated songs, versions and snippets. Still and video snippets can likewise be swapped, edited with user software and uploaded as audio, video and image files.

Collaboration and Deliberation

The WordPress site will experiment with site visitor participation in Imbue project collaboration and deliberation.

USHIN deliberations are typically displayed using a 3×3 grid layout that shows 8 kinds of information, each symbolized by a shape and a region of the screen. The consistency of meaning and screen region help users readily find what they seek through different iterations, platforms, as well as simplify mutual understanding and thorough contemplation.

This site will display the typical semantic screen.

  • See u4u.io for basic semscreen appearance and behavior.
  • In this iteration the semscreen being deliberated is in the forefront.
  • 8 cells of the grid show the author’s color. [It should have a light of the author hue throughout the cells except the top middle, unlike the sketch.]
  • The Merits cell is the background color of the peer who is evaluating the main point, visible in center.
  • Evaluate the content of each region, or shape, by selecting different numbers of stars and watching the weighted merit value change in the Merits region.
    • The size of the stars reflect the relative weight given by the community, and should appear in front at the edge of each shape region (except merits).
  • Click the gear icon in Merits to see and adjust the calculations and parameters that show in the Merit region, even expanding it if there is sufficient data. See Imbue Merit Calculations.
  • Lists headers have down arrows that open drop-down menus effecting content or order of list content.
    • Sort, remove and add peers on the right upper list by DND or flick, or other gestures and buttons.
    • Select options at the “Next” or “Action” list in the middle on the right. These include shapes, shown here, or save, or publish the semscreen or merit.
    • The bottom list on this site, in the topic region, includes only Art, in this case Song is selected, other options would be versions, or illustration.
    • A right (collapsable) panel shows 3 lists, from top to bottom:
      • Peers, who are site visitors who have contributed songs, snippets, tracks or participated in deliberation about them.
      • Next, the Imbue site’s label for actions people can take with their semscreens, such as create, edit, publish, and add merits to others’ input.
      • Art, the Imbue site’s label for songs and illustrations that are uploaded to go along with the score.

Mockup of semscreen layout for Imbue.im

In this example a participant, or peer, named Alice, published a suggestion to pick up the tempo of an entire song. Her semscreen is (or should be) all yellow, Alice’s selected profile hue. Taking prominence front and center it is the current focus of deliberation. Bob’s collection of two other peers besides Alice display their names and colors in a peer list on the upper right panel. These reflect everyone in Bob’s peer groups who published on the topic. Alice’s input may be toggled in and out, see below. The community had given Alice’s suggested action a merit of 4.7 , before Bob weighed in. The following mockup shows Bob’s screen as he is assigning stars with questionable math. Bob gave 5 stars for Alice’s facts and topics, 4 for her actions, 3 for her thoughts, 2 for her feelings, and none for other shapes. His vote raises the merit from 4.7 to 4.8. The merits region could display the breakdown of scores before and after Bob weighs in, results changing as user up- and down-ranks weights of shapes themselves.

Note the backgound colors are specific to the participant who selects that color, with a pattern, and/or “hat” – see mockups of u4few, the conceptual ushin instance for small group deliberation.

          • By importance – show size; relevancy – show proximity to center; show urgency (time line appears) and show popularity:
          • Merits are determined largely for actions that are projected to meet needs that are cooperatively ranked and filtered by user and selected soruces.

          • Actions are now and the future as we see it from here – once events dates are over the input (node) move to Facts.
          • action tags show calendars for user to drop or otherwise connect points. Without having to select the small rim square – that stands for facts, time is in view with all actions by default in the rim edge, mid-upper left, to make it easy to see and set appointment specifics while the action item is still central – the action region grows to reveal first level input with full text.
          • schedule by keyboard shortcuts, drop as well as the hover technique described above
          • this calendar functionality – clock – sits on the edge of the upper left rim [temporal facts (date and time of snippet publication ) – visible as soon as central text is visible or when user hovers over the upper left of a shape, or when node brought to regional or focus centrality.

        • Thoughts
          • also word cloud of thoughts
        • People
          • People appear on the screen who have input related to the focus topic
          • Note that the people shape conveys a different relationship to the focus point depending on where the shape appears on the semantic screen
            • authors of input show up on the upper right rim – on the same horizontal level as the time region. Seeing the author any snippet in ushin is a hover-over away. This metadata travels with the node, like the time stamp.
            • other people who are mentioned in the input show up either wiithin the semantic screen – and can be the focus of a point – and the author will likely include the relationship within the snippet, e.g. “The butler did it”, as a fact of personal experience, or as an unfounded thought.
            • The prototype will ilet people be notified if they are mentioned. Certainly they will be notified if there is a request coming their way for response, or an addendum to that person’s original input and those topics, etc. of interst to which the user may follow – within the system, or RSS, notifications, etc.
          • We also can see where the information came from
          • Users can invite people to participate on specific points

            • 1000 different users max to ensure that particpants are aware that this is a pre-prototype demo, hosted by USHIN
            • They will receive an invitation that shows the difference
          • the about is filed as contact info, under group and author – upper right
      • Rim gestures
        • For demo, the user controls the shapes on the inner rim, can include shapes from other rims, compare shapes from various rims, e.g. facts to facts
        • user wants to find original source of a shape
        • rims are also layers
        • they have colors and patterns that reflect them
        • (the demo will show rim features with mockup groups hosted by USHIN, Inc. The U4U prototype will use rims to indicate other autonomous sources of info)
        • This is a narrative about rims as though they were layers – is this useful for future interface or conceptual understanding of future potential?
          • The semantic screen appears as though it were layers, covering the full area except any necessary menus, which in future iterations would hide automatically when user is working with the semantic screen.
          • The layers each relate to a particular source for the information displayed on the screen. Each layer has it’s patterns and colors that cover the screen when that source’s input is chosen as the filter for the central screen.
          • Each layer includes the regions, central focus and its own relevant shapes and text as described below.
          • When there is input from more than one source the layers are stacked, with shadows for 3D like macbook time machine display of backups by date. The shapes fan out like cards, in the direction of the shape home.
          • By default the topmost of a stack of shapes is the most recent, but user adjusts the rank of input by changing input position, size, font etc to change an input’s rank. See about calculations in Deliberation function
          • Users select layers by seeing either or all of the name, icon and background of the source – like a tab sticking out from the stack.
        • Each rim reflects the values given to its shapes by that rim’s source.
    • Description of semantic screen
      • Rim – this may be a duplicate
        • Users hover over a specific tiny rim shape to explore it, and more information about that shape becomes revealed the longer the user holds the cursor in place.
          • we will not be able to move the central focus screen around to expose larger areas of other rims – possible later
        • users can move snippets to other parts of the map
          • for example, in their own branches they can shuffle leaves as they desire.
          • when communicating in u4u users will drop their tagged snippet onto a node in our public map of the U4U Demo ( no drag and drop – must mock that )
          • U4U ushers (trained volunteers) will post input as is and alert the author and other interested parties of its publication
          • fyi U4U ushers in the Demo are acting as publishing sources for the participants. In this role the demo shows source-author interactivity, re-tagging, negotiations and agreement.

            • OLD users hold the cursor or touch-long-hold in the center to pull the user’s own screen into view or hover the user’s rim, which may be a floating ushin icon of the 8 clickable shapes on our own background banner – or a hidden layer . if a rim it’s the innermost, which is why it goes central and fades behind hen other rims are centralized.
            • the prior view moves to a past event tagged as an action, if not already tagged as somethng else
          • Inner rims are the filters we keep close, from groups we know and trust
          • The most outer rim includes shapes which distinguished by small shape icons until user expands any of them they remain potentials
          • Each rim reflects the values given to its shapes by that rim’s source.
          • For demo, the user controls the shapes on the inner rim, can include shapes from other rims, compare shapes from various rims, e.g. facts to facts
          • centralization confers relevance, size = importance, labels = specificity, region = meaning, italicized = guess, blank = request, top = rank, heart color = feeling, user color and logo and style = identity,

The url structure will include arguments incl rims, focus. Representation of state of screen in the uri – it will persist, and anyone linked there will see the complete package as saved by author.
    • Behaviors for all shapes
      • Users can grab and move a shape, remove it, re-tag even if it’s not one’s own input, though the original stamp of authorship remains, with connectivity through the author’s source, even in the working dem.
      • Your nodes and other people’s nodes can be edited, re-tagged, copied, deleted, pasted within personal screens on visitor sites and user’s own maps and on source sites with member editing.

      • Tech team acting as USHIN source
        • Participant input will be reviewed by ushers among the community of ushin supporters for publication in the current map. These ushers are acting as sources, who in the USHIN distributed network, vet and filter automously for their own member. At this stage, for the working demo, the tech team will mediate publication, so that new information show up on updated online U4U Demo- (mockup of a collaborative map).USHIN srouces will publish the info as source, and handle data on their own server, thereby following ushin agreements incl data security, custom privacy, storage of branch and responsivity to input re: the content Such future functionality will be mentioned in the demo as appropriate.

            • I need some relief!
              • Angela seeks relief from a long-standing medical condition. She clicks on the USHIN logo on her browser, although she could have opened the tools on her device or any participating website. She types and need some relief!” and tags the issue as a need – relief.
                  •  She could emphasize her experiences, thoughts, feelings, treatments, diagnoses, doctors and how much they did or didn’t help – or she can lead her message with a need. While any shape is optional, a human need such as pain relief would help her message rise to prominence. Note that although we as users can change our own valuation of needs on our own screens, needs are given greater weight by default in the way that the software calculates merit.
