Fading Forest

The New Semester Begins!

The winter semester has started! We are so excited to announce that our project "Fading Forest" has been chosen along with "Your Screen is Calling You," as the class projects. We had pretty low hopes initially when our prototype last semester did not work as we planned. Some of the wires we realized were disattaching from the arduino, since it was quite heavy and it had to hold a lot of wiring. It was a huge relief for us that the class members had faith in us, despite some of the technical issues faced during the presentation. This Wednesday was the day we got introduced to our new group members. We used this time to further explain our project to our new group members. We realized since our group tied with "Your Screen is Calling You Group," the budget would be split in half. At first the class wanted to combine both projects to keep the budget intact, but we realized that the projects just had different personalities, so it's best to keep them separated. Our group also realized that the cost of our original idea surpasses the budget, thereby we would have to look at a new redesign. Netra came up with the idea of creating a network of trees, based on our old project "The Secret Life of Trees". This redesign that would potentially fill up the space and create a more immersive experience for the participants. Next week we plan on meeting to discuss how the network design should appear, dividing the tasks and start preparing our 10 page written documentation.
