NICK SPRINT 4

Nick Hickey Sprint 4 Blog

        This week was quieter than normal. I spent the week researching and purchasing the necessities for the production of our display device. 

        Our original design was a semi cubic display with harsh 90 degree angles. After giving our Alpha presentation and taking James Acres advice, we decided to switch up our design (As seen in Tristan’s Blog). We have opened up the display to have a wider angle exceeding 90 degrees. This will allow me to projection map the object easier and make it easier for the users to see the display. I also decided that doing this will help the production and development of the actual applications now the device is a little bit easier to projection map properly. 

I have purchased projection material online, and the plywood to construct the object. Next using the diagram provided by Tristan I will produce the object accurately and firmly. I want to eliminate the possibility of the display having any issues, so we do not go to show a potential customer and the display is tacky and falling apart. I have purchased wood glue and filler as well, this is so I can fill all the screw holes, and sand it so the projection material will be seamless, without bumps and creases. Overall, as mentioned this week was slower than normal, however I now have everything in place to complete my production with all the required material being purchased and all essential research has been conducted. The goal is to create something that is visually stunning, sturdy, and moveable. 


Here are some similar Productions and styles to what I will create:




The angles are wider and easier to see compared to our original 90 degree idea.


Similar honeycomb effect will be used to create ours.


Similar to our original idea you can see how much harder this is to see compared to the first two images. I want this to be visually simple to see and using a similar design to the top two will allow for this.


SEE YOU NEXT SPRINT!
