Post no. 5
Today I had a meeting with my specialist tutors Yee Siang and Jazmi.
I explained my idea on the wearable media being used in concerts, and we discussed about how I could include the contents of the audience into the display output itself. Yee Siang said that I needed to use C++ and had to consider the amount of people if I wanted to crop out their faces and include them into the projection mapping display. I had the inspiration of face cropping from a theme park ride in Disney Land where it crops the riders faces and renders them into an animation on the screen. It has a really loading time though, something I want to avoid.
Sweii then suggested that I could build a website where it collects the audiences content when they buy tickets online. It could provide both traffic for the potential sponsor and user content for the concert.
I had a little motto about how the audience controls the concert rather than the other way round. Feedback is important to the artists, they could actually get a number for data mining and market research. How could the audience contribute to the artists as well?
I have two angles on the approach to this project.
1. They could replace lighters/phone displays (when they wave them along to the tempo of the songs the artists are performing)
2. The could be in a gestural feedback form, just like the Colosseum Gladiator fighters during the Roman Empire.
I would not want users to download apps or scan QR codes to interact with the installation. It's too much of a hassle.
Plus, I have included labels at the bottom of each post for easier navigation. Posts will be segregated based on the progress labels of my project.
