Space
Although we understand the space (E15A) for the presentation is not that big and neat enough for our installation, we still choose the room for our update project. That is because there are several rooms booked for the degree show such as C09, C02, and other rooms such as C08 and E21 are not available during the spring vacation. Therefore, we used a large black curtain to cover the floor.
A possible future improvement would include a more suitable room for the audience to walk around. At the same time, it is necessary to be well-lighttight for projection and proper size for filling the room with music.
We expect to find a room large enough in the future that the projections of water ripples and the interaction of the touch designer can fill the room. Max is still capturing the movement of the characters, but these changes will present a more dramatic visual change. The changes made to the image by the characters will become more visible
installation
The current installations appear too crude and in the future, we can improve the visual effect in terms of the beauty of the installations, the neatness of the environment and the refinement of all aspects.
Interaction
Although we enriched the interactive way, the experiences still be regarded as insipid. In this case, it would be better to make two video walls interactive rather than just videos with masks. For example, the audience can be captured as a human mask.
As well as this, the current interaction is still between the person and the wall, and the person and the installation, we want to make it so that the movement of the person has an effect on the whole room. For example, when people walk on the floor, the floor will ripple as they fall; the water ripples on the walls will change as more people talk in the room, the volume of sound, etc.
We expect the future of interaction to be a dual interaction between people and people and people and things.
Music
We have updated another piece of music, but the main part still be remained. The original piece is generated for the vibration of water, so it tends to have a strong sense of rhythm. It would be better if we change the style and atmosphere from sci-fi music to sound conveying pleasant and peaceful.
Convey core ideas
We have been working on this problem for a long time, but the final effect was still not satisfactory. Apart from the introduction before watching and the explanation from us, the designers, it seems to be difficult for the audiences to understand what we want to convey and the metaphor for each piece of content. In the future project, we would prefer to learn from more projects which can be easily understood.
