Group Meetings Update

Sunday: LCC

The LCC students met up in order to complete the wave-shield and in order to begin working on piecing together the electronic/digital component of the structure. However, due to time constraints, we were unable to work past soldering the wave-shield together. Later, Daniel informed us that the wave shield was failing and that he was not sure why and that we would all meet tomorrow in order to try and figure out what was wrong.

We also brainstormed ideas for the sound interaction. We went through a few ideas including: Animal sounds, Space sounds, and Cartoon sounds though we could not decide which was the best because we were not sure how the structure would look and what type of interactions there definitely would be.

Monday: LCC & ID

At our set meeting time, we met and discussed slightly what it is that we needed to complete for class on Wednesday. The ID students decided to go pick up the boards and get the materials available in order to piece together our idea for the structure. The LCC students stuck around trying to figure out what could be wrong with the wave shield but decided that asking the TAs would be the best approach.

Tuesday: LCC & ID

A portion of the LCC students decided to work further on trying to get the wave shield to work. After further inspection, they decided that a few of the pieces were soldered on wrong and had to re-solder them. However, even after this discovery, the wave shield still did not work. The result of the wave shield is still undetermined at the moment.

The rest of the group met in the College of Architecture in order to become assembling the structure, using the  templates that Paul sent out to the group. After the deserved structure was achieved, the placement of the sensors, speakers, and other components was decided.
