SO then the time has come to finalise and test our project. To review....
Input: Traffic light - Light sensor.
Process: fart machine - sound sensor- ardunio board
Output: computer - RSS - projector
So as mentioned we are going to use the RSS feed to display information in stonehouse. Taking the latest post's on the RSS feed on the herald website, for reasons mentioned in previous post's.
Ideas:
Moving text
Subtle message
opening curtains
Flash animation
Based on the time that the public are waiting at the red traffic light we know that the animation has to be relatively short but yet send a message that's memorable. Yet if we just have standard static text the public wont be drawn to our project. Although we know that the RSS feed is going to be imported into our flash animation live! So any new post will be on our animation, therefore displaying several bits of information very quickly, in sort of a subliminal fashion, controversial?
We also have the idea of having red theatre curtains starting and ending the animation was suggested. Not only will this be a moving animation that will hold the users attention but it also will also tread water in the historic part of the Dance Academy. Something which we had dismissed previously, which is nice because now we are exploring the realms of modern and old history within stonehouse. By applying this I think our target audience now applies to all ages and people from every demographic, after all voyeurism is embedded in human nature.
So Luke used his Flash skills and put together an animation with all the specification in mind.
As you can see in the image below, the RSS has been successfully imported and ready to use in our animation. However we are also going to add our own message to the animation to make it A. send a controversial message and B. extend peoples thoughts whilst exploring the space of stonehouse.
