Hey everyone, we are almost there! In less than a week, and before we have our exhibition on the 15th, we have a few things to do and prepare.  After our user testing day and our presentation, we have received thorough feedback and suggest from Lian, Louis, and Ruchi.  What we need to do before…

Achievements (Week 12) – Almost there!: Finished the cloud production and tested in the Lab environment Coding for lightning patterns and human active pattern of the cloud are ready, but it’s not working properly as expected when combining together with data received from processing.  Observed and received a lot of valuable feedback on the user…

Achievements (Week 11): We have worked on the coding for integrating camera data input to change the LED lighting effect. With fadeIn and fadeOut transition state. Arduino is able to send data signal to Processing via serial.read and serial.write. We have also tested the two states for the LED strips (idle and Active 1).  We…

Achievements (Week 10): Worked on the technical setting of data input, which is the human movement within the space. Web Camera input testing on-site, try to find the best spot for placing the camera to capture human interaction.  Confirmed the projector position. According to Leslie, the projector could not be mounted on the wall, but…

Achievements (Mid-semester break +Week 9): Material sourcing for the cloud at the craft store and Bunnings, and experimented them on site. On-going technical research on visual content coding and system input (we have decided on using camera input to detect motion rather than using a motion sensor) Developed lightning and thunder using the LED strip…

Achievements (Week 8): Mapped out the movement scenario based on our finalised concept  Checked out the projector from the asset office and have worked on visual projection Sourced different materials  Sourced different sound bites for the “installation experience” Final Concept With the help and guidance from Louis and Ruchi, we are more clear with our…

Week 7-8//Stage: Design// Previously, we have created user archetypes in relation to our site location. We’ve got Christopher, who is a design student who often takes the staircase from level 1 to level 2. There is May, who is an Architectural student who often takes the elevator to go up and down to her studio…

Week 7 //Stage: Design// Last week we have come up with 3 initial ideas that have potential on our site. However, after talking to tutors we agreed to narrow down to the first idea and further develop. We really like the cloud concept because it matches with the message we want to deliver to the…

Achievement (Week 7) Refine the design challenge:How might playful intervention generate a positive perception of in-between space? Consolidated the feedback from Ruchi and Louis including: The narrative of the installation How is it going to demonstrate to the user? Visual? Sound? Light? Look into different art period or style, how to visualize the content Can…
