WEEK 14 (Pt.2)

Feedback from Online Tutorial With Steve

  • You need to use a software called Mosaic to display your work on 4 screens
  • Laptop needs to run on an SSD instead of a hard drive for faster graphics processing power
  • Need a USB hub to connect 4 Kinects and make sure it is fast enough, e.g. 3.1 and 3.2
  • Idea 1- The concern of the audience not having anything to interact with can be alleviated by making a small part of the work interactive, as opposed to the whole thing
  • Sample layout I created- reevaluate the distance between the screen and the projector 
  • You will only get a small image with the projector very close to the screen unless you get an ultra-short-throw one
  • Good to know how standard projectors work
  • Look into getting a net curtain for the rear projection setup
  • 3 sections of work to write in the proposal - dance element (live performance), video of the dance and participatory element of the audience
  • Write that the work is evolving rather than having a fixed mindset of what you are going to do
  • Write about the discovery of merging an artefact into an immersive and performative environment
  • as I gain more knowledge on...
  • Risk assessment and health and safety are the same thing
  • ethics and rights- low ethical risk because you are the only one dancing in your project 
  • As for user testing, they only need to sign a release form, but that is done at a later date, and you can submit that with assignment 3
  • Steve might talk to Phil to move one of the i9 computers to A238
  • Finish building the installation by the 6th of May, so work has to be done a week before that
