Today was the day of the Formative presentation. Based on the feedback, we’re on the right track, but have have some serious work to be geting on with.

We’e had some problems with getting the pressure mats organised, so as an alernative we are looking into new ways of presenting the project

1) on/off mats which trigger specific sections of the image, the layout of the project remains the same.

2) on/off mats hidden around the exhibition room. As a user accidentally steps on one, the animation plays.

The use of on/off mats will make the project a lot more straight forward to achieve, something which will be a major help considering the time left to us. Although it’s not exactly what we set out to do, it’s the only major compromise we’ve had to make. Presentation slides after the break.

On Monday was the presentation for the various ideas people had come up with. Around twenty to twenty five ideas were proposed, and then out of that number five projects were voted for. Those who’s ideas were voted for became team leaders, and those who remained were split up to become team members. My virtual earthquake concept was chosen, along with four other ideas including Frasers RC Snake idea and Craigs Shoutbox.

I will post more on the earthquake concept as well as the team that will be creating it at a later date (perhaps tomorrow). For now however, here are the slides used in the presentation of the Virtual Earthquake, as well as the Virtual Decorating (which was another proposed concept).

In preparation for a presentation of ideas - something that will most likely take place next Monday - two ideas need to be chosen and then explored in further depth as to how they will work and what tools will be needed to be able to implement them successfully in an interactive space.

Here begins a new project at Ravensbourne, and my first shot at blogging about this stuff here on the website. In keeping with the concept of having a project log, I’m going to write it in third person. Fun eh? Anyway, let us begin:
