WEEK 2
Shtilyan, the lifesaver
In the beginning, the fact that Shtilyan was in Bulgaria was a bit frustrating. In the end, it turned out to be our solution to our problems. He, with a fresh mind, came up with an amazing concept inspired by Chaldni's technique. We then talked about it, and tried to implement this idea into our concept. We then decided to create an interactive installation with a hologram as well as sounds, that people can control with their hand movements.
​
Getting our concept clear was not an easy thing. We had to talk to a lot of professors, as well as Jacob - a super cool artist - and the owner of the skate shop in the city. We god a lot of inspiration, and we finally got our concept straight.
week 4 / Making notes from the feedback on The design document
Concept
​
explain more about the concept - intallation starts to get crazy dont use standby term
show how does it influence Enschede
try to write down the concept as Shtilyan
explained for teachers mentioning the functionality itself
MOSCOW Method
We should work more on it
Specify better
​
Sketches
​
Scan sketches and make them bigger
and add descpription bellow
​
3D model
​
Measure people define a real average height of our target audience
​
Requirement list
​
1. move properties in same paragraph
for example: How many times light should switch on and off.
major - the drawings that should be performed
2. -
3. think of what would happen if customer chooses our concept - life in service
4. acceptible on computer - maintainance
5. product cost
6. transport - should fit in elevator etc
7. dont use spray colors - paint it~! aesthetics - installation should be easily connected to a user
user journey
use QR code - to find on google maps
make QR on web and share on google maps the location
DELETE 5 min later and put under QR code img
+ people go the event - not just to review the website
morphological chart
​
hardware part - include! arduino touchboard laptop etc
use PIR instead of Ultrasonic
Actuators include more - vibration motor/ think more
decoration - sandpaper - clear
Testing
​
uptade the idea about using 3 screens intead of 4
​
State transition diagram
​
Not a clear state transition diagram
start - some explanation
technical states - and how do you get there (sensors etc)
​
Deployement diagram
looks like a user journey -
​
Hardware diagram
vibration motor - make to 12W
concept drawing - put it in the beginning !!!
This feedback was given by Boris and Harry. I am very happy about their feedback. It was really positive, of course there were also few more spots that could be improved - but that's one of the main puzzles in the big project - always updating your work.
week 3 / WEBSITE MAP AND WIREFRAME
Second thing that I made this week was the site map/information architecture for our website. I wanted to start with website as fast as possible and having all structure ready in early stage will save me a lot of time.
Our website is going to consist of three pages Home/Events/Contact. After team's feedback, which was positive and they didn't have anything against it or add something, I started creating the wireframe of the website.
week 4 / WEBSite prototype
In this week I have started with prototyping and making a responsive website for our project. After Herman's and Margrit's feedback yesterday, the overall design of our brand identity must be improved, so the website design can also differ a bit. In this link you can explore the prototype I made: https://cityorchestra4.wixsite.com/website-1/home
week 4 / Helping Max with bugs
On Tuesday I also tried to help Max with fixing some bugs while connecting Arduino to Unity. I didn't find the clear solution but gave some advice, for example, I told him to follow Boris code from VR module and to try connect first the Arduino in such a way instead of debugging his friends code. But of course most of the work Max has done and he is really handy with that!!
