<note warning >ASSIGNMENT - CHROMA TRACKING
BRIEF:
- Develop a concept / SKETCH for an interactive MULTI-COLOUR tracking interface
- use 2 or 3 colours (eg RGB / CMY / anaglyph)
think carefully about what experience you want to create before diving in to building it. Don't be limited by the technology (or your experience of it), but focus on the idea first. On paper, try and be specific about what you would like to achieve. Aim high!
CONSIDER:
- users - 1, 2 or 3 users / players?
- purpose - is this a game or a tool?
- audience - who is it for?
- context - where would we encounter this? how does that shape our role?
- interface - what is the coloured object that is tracked? what is the suggested action?
- colour - how does the colour shape our experience / interpretation (beyond mechanics)? why is it relevant?
- SCALE of movement (wiggle finger or dance across the room?)
- REWARD (or TENSION) - what creates the impulse to move or not move?
- media / output - what media / content is required? how should it look and sound?
Submission:
1. .izz file
2. media (dependencies)
3. documentation
4. statement / proposal / evaluation
