Venue
Our project was held in Atrium. Before audiences entered the room, we affixed a poster to the front door, introducing our project and effectively conveying its theme.
Figure 1: Poster
Atrium provides enough space for a certain number of spectators to walk around. We placed chairs around the front area to prevent individuals from obstructing the projection or inadvertently stepping on cables. This layout clearly delineated designated pathways for audience movement and restricted areas to maintain an immersive viewing experience.

Ideally, we aimed for a completely darkened space. However, a large window above Atrium meant that natural light would influence the lightness in Atrium, preventing the space from achieving complete darkness throughout the presentation. Thus, to improve our project, we will need to use a large black cloth to block out the light from the top to create an all-black, immersive, deep-sea-like environment.

Setup
Because our project is an audio-visual installation with surround sound techniques, the used equipment includes:
- 4 Genelec 1030a speakers
- 1 Faderfox DS3
- 1 HD NEC V302H projector
- 1 FireFace UCX
- 1 projection screen
- 5 sensors

We wrote instructions on the designed box next to each sensor to guide the participant during the presentation.
