Tutorial Two

We had another tutorial with Peter today in which we discussed our progression and an queries we had. Following the talk we understood that we needed to be progressing through the project at a faster rate, and that some careful planning was needed in order to be successful. In the tutorial we had discussed the expenses behind the project and how they would effect the piece, in terms of how many props we would be able to have in the room.



Our original idea was to have at least three beds in the room, then due to expense issues we were limited to two. We imagined the room to look like the diagram above. However, talking this through with Peter we highlighted that there may be a problem with the IPAC card and its response to the pressure pads far away, with long lengths of wire between them. This will obviously be something that we will have to test in order to see if its possible or not. The other problem is that the bigger the room the more potential there is that the user will become lost in the piece and just wonder around without actually setting anything off. For these reasons we are currently considering the possibility of decreasing the size of the project and only including one bed in the piece. This will be something that we will have to give extensive thought to.
