FINAL PROJECT PROPOSAL ESSAY
1.PROJECT TITLE
Back to Summer Nostalgia II
2.PROJECT STATEMENT OF PURPOSE *
This project is based on my midterm project. I would think of it as an expansion of my midterm project. Because I have always been thinking about creating a whole children playground that can bring everyone back to their childhoods. My idea for now is to build a sky wheel and people can turn the sky wheel. I would connect the motor inside the sky wheel with a sensor so that the speed of the sky wheel can be analyzed. Then there will be images not he screen of computer(using processing to draw it), and the images will be different according to the speed of the sky wheel. Also, the brightness of ice cream truck will be different according to the speed of the sky wheel.
3.PROJECT PROPOSAL PLAN *
My project aims to bring people back to their childhood and pick up their childhood memories. I think what I want to do is to make the whole project a set and make the kind of atmosphere of a whole set of childhood memory. Also, I wish I can make it neat and clean so that it can be something people can actually take home and play with. I think for this time, I want to figure out the coding part first because that’s what confused me and my partner a lot last time and also we know that we are not that good at it. I think the first should be spent on coding and the second week will be working on the fabrication part and putting the two parts together. After that, there’ll be user testing and we can get feedback from the users and do some adjustments and improvements according to that. I think the last step is really important because the whole project is about interaction so it should arouse the testers’ interest and easy to understand how it works.
4.CONTEXT AND SIGNIFICANCE *
I did research in midterm so that because final is the same topic I just need to add on to the research I did before. I researched a lot about projects that can interact with people so that I can know how to make the interaction more smoothly because that part is also the main problem I found in the midterm project. I think what is unique about my project is that I will be laser cutting the whole part which will make it look like those toys we have actually played with and that will make it really fun and able to bring people ack to childhood. My project is intended to everyone who misses their childhood because I think the value of it is universal and everyone can relate to it. I wish everyone cam find those happy childhood moments after interacting with the project.
