For this project we want to have a good campaign, as a start I made a poster to promote our installation. First i made this design. But my team members thought the poster was still a bit to plain and they missed the color gradient i used in the logo. I put a photo behind... Continue Reading →
Building pan
So it's week 7 and as a builder in the team I had to make a plan so we could start building as soon as possible. I decided to do it in the small steps. First as we decided to use the given wood for us I needed to know the measurements of it, so... Continue Reading →
Testing the design
To make our design not only pretty but also usable we needed to test it as well. The feedback for the first design wasn't the best. Even though they liked our idea but there wasn't clear what that was and how it supposed to work also the map wasn't visible and general look wasn't the... Continue Reading →
prototype_update
So far my prototype consists of the custom made code for the Arduino that sends an array with the values of each of the sensors every few times in the second and the code inside Processing that reads the data and works with it. If something gets into the range it will start playing music... Continue Reading →
Materials
This time we decided to use more reliable materials for our installation, so it would be easier to give it a professional look. So far we are planning to use wood for outer part and acrylic plastic for inner part. The lower part of our installation we are planing to make from hard wood provided... Continue Reading →
Finishing touches to the new prototype
After Alexandra made a new sketches and build the model in maya to visualize our concept I wasn't completely happy with the end result. There still was something what bothered me and seemed out of the place. So I took a file and decided to experiment and see what is possible to do. First I... Continue Reading →
3D model of the installation
While sketching different versions of the installation, some teachers advised on having a 3D model for a better perceivance of the installation. We took the advice of the teachers and created our first model in Maya. After discussing with the team, the pedestal will be way taller and the map thinner.
New customer journey
One of my tasks was to update customer journey. From feedback two main changes should have been done is layout, because it was hard to read and it was missing the main goal. I started from clearing up our main goal: "To show that Enschede is a musical city and demonstrate that everyone can find... Continue Reading →
tech_shop_research
Today me and Andro took some time to look for local shops that sell sensors and other tech for Arduino. Our budget is still on ground zero and we cannot afford buying anything, so we decided to approach the shops for sponsorship. We both recognised http://www.vanallesenmeer.nl as the best suited in terms of prices to... Continue Reading →
Prototype photobooth frame
Today michelle and I went to make a prototype for the photobooth. We are starting up with our social media page. We want to make this photobooth, so we can use it to introduce our team with our followers. Today Michelle is going to paint the wood, so that tommorow we can attach it together... Continue Reading →
