Project meeting; combining the ideas

7-10


During our coach meeting today, there was a slight emphasis on how we as a group intend to combine the concepts of the individuals into one room/area for the workplace. I will come back to later in this post, as there is some additional information necessary to explain how we combined them.

Mariette explained her ideas. One of them consisted of clouds, which people can use to be transported around. This proves how games can act as a very good source of inspiration, as this is related to the Mario games of Nintendo.

Jelmer had a very productive day on Thursday which resulted in a couple of ideas, his latest involving a waterfall which can be used as an interactive wall for a non-fixed purpose yet.

My concept, being the 'liquid light' idea (which is not a very good name for the concept actually) and those of Jelmer and Mariette can be integrated with each other pretty good. We have decided to present this during the mid-term exhibition. The clouds of Mariette will move around in an oval/circular shape. At one moment, they an animation will 'take 2D clouds upward'. Clouds natural behaviour is that they evaporate into rain, rain is water of course --> Waterfall. The water at the bottom will be used by people, at the midterm for my light activation. In other words, Jelmer's waterfall is the link between the concepts of Mariette and myself. The link will be clearly visible on the posters, which will be blend in with each other. Below you can see the poster which Jelmer made:

Another thing we discussed in this meeting is that we could add a more practical dimension in our concepts. In my case, it could be a way to focus the light on a particular area of the room. There are a lot of different ways to include things like this, which I want to explore on the midterm exhibition by engaging discussions with people about this area.
