PPM - Meeting Our Specialists 4

Post no.9

Idea-Execution consultation with Jazmi.

1. Vibration motor - on/off it's simple enough so its alright. As long as I'm not dealing with adjusting the range of vibrations.

2. 4/5 lights per device would be good. Try some Tri-Color LEDs.
Here's a brief video to show how it would work. And there's a tutorial as well link HERE. To get a really bright shine/intensify the brightness he suggested mini-reflectors.

3. He asked me explore and to get the feedback on the screens based on expression/emotions rather than the amount of people I need to participate and trigger the visuals. 
When he said this, what could I use to measure emotions? Facial Expressions? Sounds?
I might be able to work with a sound sensor but it would confuse it with the surrounding sounds.
ALTHOUGH, I could key in a very very low sensitivity that requires the user to put the device right up to their faces when they get excited. They could scream and shout into the device like so:


Maybe I could translate their shouts into crowd audio.
Example:
DJ: HOW ARE WE DOING TONIGHT?!?!?!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOO!
DJ: ARE YOU HAVING FUN?
Crowd: WOOOOOO!
The crowd somehow thinks Wooo is the answer to everything. Reasons why is that maybe they think it would be the loudest sound they could make rather than verbalizing the actual words + Shouting. I could fix this.
How to fix this:
DJ: HOW ARE WE DOING TONIGHT?!?!?!
Crowd: WOOoooo --- AWESOME! GREAT! (words blaring from speakers)
DJ: ARE YOU HAVING FUN?
Crowd: WOoooo -- F-YEAH!
This could be the feedback that the artist needs. A real connection with the audience. The true exchanging of words. Just like the video I shared below of one of my favorite French Artists. Je t'aime comme ca. 
Facial expressions, is a little bit harder to do.
4. For the visuals, the more people participate the more layers are uploaded to the video.
Actions: 
-Study other projects
- Prepare some benchmarks for the visual and animation
- Find some videos on people experimenting with the devices similar to my idea.
