Meeting with our Specialists 8

Post no.19

Tutors present: Jazmi & Sweii

I missed the two previous sessions and feel horrible. The first one was Jazmi's (where I was overwhelmed with the 40 Hour CFE challenge) and the second one which was with Yee Siang (where I resulted in lugging around my paperbag filled with arduino boards and went home after some miscommunications)

MUSIC
Alright so today I gave Jazmi and Sweii a listen to the music I chose and told them that I specifically chose the ones on SoundCloud which had the labels 'Free Music Download' on them. I'm glad that they had really good remixed of mainstream Dubstep and EDM tracks like Summertime Sadness or Animals.

I decided to extract the drop and parts leading to the drop about 30 seconds to keep the experience short and sweet.

He commented that the transitions should be smooth too.

STAGE DESIGN
Now that I have changed my output to a holographic box instead of a projector, I could no longer project my audiences onto the front panel of the box as all the animations are going to be happening behind the slanted glass.
I opted to place two monitors on each side of the box.

But Jazmi gave a useful reminder that monitors in concerts are usually embedded in the stages. I just had to make sure it blends with my holo box.

As for the machine, I was thinking of using a Mac Desktop Monitor because of its clarity and large screen. I obviously had to think of a way to conceal that bulbous silver machine lying faced down on my holo box.

As for the distance between users and holo box, I have yet to test them as I need to have a live testing on the viewing distance and space. I need to conduct this in the iis.

HOLO BOX
I consulted him about the double images I get from my previous holo box and he suggested I take a look at some holographic films.

WOO GLOVE
He said it sounds catchy but it should have some meaning to them. Make it like an acronym.
W - Wearable
O  - Overhyped
O  - Omitters

Maybe.

WOO GLOVE TECHNICALITIES
For the LED, they are RGB. So, I should program different colours for both the microphone input and the accelerometer input.
