The Weeks, 1-5

Week 1 – Introduction and overview
We were introduced to the subject title. In classroom we were discussing the project description of what is being expected. A clear understanding of the subject matter.

Week 2 – Inspiration & context
Brainstorming of idea's dealing with the subject title. Talking in the classroom of ideas and critiquing on each other's idea's and thoughts. And getting feedback/response to each students projects. As well as a short presentation in context from where we get our inspiration from.

Week 3 – Concept & direction
Discussion is taken further, how it will work and what won't work in visualizing. What can be eliminated and what stays. Asking a lot of questions such as; what is my statement, what is it for, what does it focus on, what is the interaction, what is the delivery, etc. Drawing out sketches to see how it would look like as if virtual.

Week 4 – Project implementation
This week was an update on each or our projects, research and idea's. There were discussions which took long, though worth it. It has come to a point where things has to be eliminated, which created a debate as to concept and prototype wise. In the end the original idea stays, using only one camera instead of two.

Week 5 – Project design & planning
A lot of difficulties this week. Need to change direction as things are still the same. As if repeating a joke over 5 times. Need to come with better ideas, as matters has become as a bore. Or an update on 'smile' project – what more is to be done? Main concern this week is how it looks like when this device is warn. How it appeals, good, or not so good? Also had a discussion on our proposals, what information is missing and what needs to be clearly stated with what is directed across as a social fabric. This week has gone by quick.
