Choosing a space

The Brief

Last week my group was given a brief to fulfill. As I was not there last week due to illness I was playing catch up. The brief was, we have to pick a place in Plymouth to set up a interactive display. My group picked a busy spot in the city centre. Below is a picture of the area that they choose. We are going to constrate on the circle design and how to make this interactive in some way.



The ideas

• One of the idea we came up with was that the different section on the circles would make different sound then people stood on them.

I thought this was a very good idea and would be a very fun and interactive for everyone in the city centre.

• The second idea we has was making the circle a interactive screen. So there will be a screen underneath your feet and when you walk on it you will triger thing to happen. Such as make ripples, move balls out the way, fish come around your feet ect.

However even though I thought this was a really good idea, I did feel that with how busy the space is this might be a problem.

• The third idea was that if people walked over the middle of the circle that it would glow up different colours.

I also thought that this would be a good idea. Made not as interactive as the music (seems it allows you to play different tunes) but still a good idea.

So we have three idea's we are still unsure which we are going to choose. We desided to do research into 3 key area of the industre. Socialism, Technology aviable and example of digital art already in place. From this research will will choose which idea is best or come up with a completely now one.
