This will be my final blog post. Yesterday, the final year interactive project exhibition was held. Although we all would’ve rather been gathered together in the library yesterday evening to witness each project come to life, we met over Zoom. I believe just under 60 people joined the chat, including the head of department andContinue reading “MD318 – Blog 10”

It’s finished. Our final year project has been completed and sent to our Supervisor. On Monday, we had a meeting with Javad to make any last minute adjustments and finishing touches to our animations and video. Our video covers every aspect of the project. It introduces the basic concept and where it would be located.Continue reading “MD318 – Blog 9”

We have just over a week until our Project is due and it’s all finally coming together. Javad has been a huge help this past week. He has given us lots of guidance and allocated his free time to helping us. I began the AfterEffects animation on the new 3D map design for our video.Continue reading “MD318 – Blog 8”

So we are nearing the end of our final semester. The deadline for our project has been set for just over two weeks away. The girls and I have had many Teams meetings to progress as quickly as possible. Yesterday, we had a Video Chat with Javad to discuss the beta version briefly and confirmContinue reading “MD318 – Blog 7”

Over the past two weeks the team has been adapting our project plan and format due to the pandemic. Of course, this is not an ideal situation but we are doing our best with what we have.

Although many lectures are being moved online so we can progress, this isn’t really anContinue reading “MD318 – Blog 5”

This week the girls and I accepted that we would be producing a projection based project without the interactive board. We focused on finding the most suitable material to project onto and our design. We borrowed the projector from Mark who said we could keep it for the foreseeable future – or until he neededContinue reading “MD318 – Blog 4”

On Tuesday I met up with Lucy & Niamh in the Mac lab which is becoming a routine of ours. Javad is usually there at the same time, saving us from arranging other meetings. This week we wanted to hit the ground running and start ordering supplies ASAP. I had emailed Javad enquiring about whenContinue reading “MD318 – Blog 3”

Lucy, Niamh & I met on Tuesday in the Mac labs to discuss what stage we are at with the project and to see if Lucy had gotten any email replies. Conveniently, Javad was also there so we were able to discuss further with him. Lucy had received a reply from Bare Conductive, the companyContinue reading “MD318 – Blog 2”

In the first week back after the break, Lucy, Niamh & I met with Javad and he suggested we start emailing Bare Conductive and other creators or companies that have dealt with Interactive/Projection mapping. It was slightly worrying when Javad mentioned he has never worked with Interactive mapping and it will be a new conceptContinue reading “MD318 – Blog 1”
