1st Meeting

This project literally is the 'first meeting' for some of our group members. Today we met casually in the canteen for one hour.

The group roles are half assigned and we made a start on exploring concept ideas. Tomorrow we will decide on a concept so that we can start working on our first deliverables.

Although we are only getting our group together today, this is week 5 of 12 on the group project calendar.

Up until now, in tutorial classes with our lecturer, we have learned how to approach this multimedia project.

The lecturer covered areas such as keyboard hacking, basic switches, and circuit bending. We saw examples of what others are doing in their multimedia projects. We looked at projects from students who have gone before us, technology junkies and fashion designers, exhibition projects and alternative musicians.

So, what will we be doing?

The idea is to build a multimedia piece with an alternative method of control to the keyboard and mouse, that places equal focus on both the hardware and software, both of which forming the complete user experience.

The theme of the project is completely open, and it should provide an engaging user experience.
