Our group mainly discussed the planning and conceptualization of a project for dmsp-play, involving the design and realization of a game or interactive installation, with the main components:
Project Objective:
The project is centered around a “game” or “interactive device”, with an emphasis on the user’s interactive experience.
The plan is to produce a project that combines virtual and physical interactions, which may include mental games, exploration games, interactive installations, and so on. This can be realized by means of sound, light, sensors, etc.
Creative Direction:
The use of technologies such as virtual reality (VR), sensors (e.g. gesture recognition), etc. is mentioned.
There were suggestions to change the perspective (e.g., from the point of view of a non-human character) to increase the novelty of the experience.
Technology implementation and tool development:
Virtual part: developed based on VR or computer game engines (e.g. Unity).
Physical part: using interactive devices combined with sound design to realize realistic immersive experiences. For example, using Leap Motion’s gesture tracking technology for intuitive user interaction.
Teamwork and work organization:
It is recommended that the task be divided into three parts: conceptual design, technology development, and documenting and summarizing, with each member dividing up the work.
Emphasize the importance of documenting the creative process and uploading progress through blogs or shared documents.
Next Step Plan:
Organize all ideas and directions and create a shared document for group members to add to.recording text
Discuss specific directions with tutor at next meeting and finalize project proposal.
Prioritize clarifying the project’s storytelling context and interaction mechanisms, then gradually consider technical details.
