Week 9 - Green light

So as a Queen band would say " Pressure pushing down on me/us". We finally felt in in week 9. On Monday we (Shtilyan Indre and Marieke) built a bar for people who afraid to stand on the skateboard. Plus we also made a pedestal for a skateboard for the security reason either. On Tuesday Indre and Marieke painted the sides and a ramp (the wooden parts). Max was still programming the whole states and interaction. Sacha worked on the design/instruction & interaction documents. She will be finished in the end of this week.

In week 9 we had the last demo on Wednesday. The presentation itself went pretty good, but our interaction part with the installation wasn't that sufficient. We had many bugs and the states weren't working that correct. The demo teacher were really excited about our promotion campaign and they want to see much more the next week. But we still got a nice grade - 8. And surely we are free to exhibit our installation next week - green light!!

Also later that day Max was able to fix the states so it finally worked. Shtilyan with Marieke experimented the different materials for projecting the visuals, so plexiglass and a rice paper worked really nice together. Indre bought the rice paper and white chalk pencil.

Thursday we still keep on building, Marieke and Shtilyan worked on building the stable "table" inside the installation to fix our projectors that they would stand safe and fixed. Sacha was working the first part of the day at home on these three documents and Rania also, ohh yeah Rania! Forgot to mention, the whole week she was working hard on the firebase and she finally finished that part! Really proud of her, she put the code in Max unity code in order to retrieve data from questionaire answers.

On Friday we had a Go/No go meeting with our teachers, we got No Go, because the interaction was not sufficient yet. We got a second chance - to have this meeting again on Monday. So we had to improve plenty of stuff during the weekend. The things we've done:

Indre has done:

Because that she was gone for a weekend to Lithuania for the cousin's wedding she couldn't do much, but she researched the events for the personalized events scene in the installation in her spare time on the way to Lithuania.

So! We are almost there, LET THE EXHIBITION BEGIN!
