Clarification

Hi everyone,
Can I just get someone to clarify for me when we are meeting and where specifically? I was going to assume 6:30 at the screen, kind of like last time, but I might be WAY off. Please let me know.

Zac.

Sorry sorry sorry sorry

Sorry guys for the umm hiding and all....


Below are my text for the questionnaire evaluations as well as my recommendations on what the images should have. I'll add somemore, do I need pictures?

Oh and I'll be doing the moving eyes animation ASAP (still pissed my idea couldn't be realised). SHould be ready by tomorrow.

-------------
Colour

Contrasting colours were much preferred during the initial testing, as my group find it hard to analyse any image due to the poor lighting. This is evident during the testing of image 1 to seven, as the group found it painless to recognise bright foreground colours with a dull-coloured background and vice versa. For example, the colours orange and green were easily distinguishable from the background (be it white or black), while purple was not. Monotone or semi-monotone images (8, 13, 33, and the smiley images) were the most easily discernable. Images with yellow over black were especially striking throughout the whole session. The final image (#33) was easily identifiable because the inverted monochrome display makes it easy to see the small black lines of the characters. Therefore, it is my opinion that any images that are to be displayed on the screen should avoid using dull colours and employ a mixture of the following colours only:
- orange
- green
- yellow
- blue (with white background)
- light brown

Shape

My group had found that complex images were hard to be identified, due to the poor colouring as well as the poor resolution of the big screen. However, simple (as in images without any backdrops), big images were quickly identified (8, 13, 21, 33 and the smiley images). Anything smaller than the size of a square of the grid is non-distinguishable at all, so this should be a future reference when displaying images on the screen.

The Grid

The grid, it seems could be a hindrance or an enhancement of the display. For instance, the eyes in image 8 were blocked by the grid, hindering the image. Image 17 was hard to identify due to the grid blocking a lot of the image’s detail. On the other hand, the grid was seen as a part of the display (a jail cell) for Image 13. Therefore it is my recommendation that the grid’s size and position be taken into account during the early stages of development of a display, as it could impede the audience’s ability to enjoy the display.

Animation

From the survey, the animations were described as smooth, and no jerkiness were able to be seen. So this is not a concern when creating animations with the speed of 25fps or 30fps.

Moving pictures

Okay Audrey, no probs. Would three be okay? One of them will be just a bouncing ball. The other two will just be cycles like that, but I don't know what yet. Anyway, I'll send them before Friday.

Not really that important

Since Angela brought it up, our footage was also almost completely useless... just letting everyone know. Sorry. People were just chatting and joking around.

Zac.

hey

The video that I shot was completely useless! They don't talk for about 25 minutes and then because they can't see anything someone starts talking about booze and boobs. There is nothing really helpful at all. I have gone over it and there is nothing that I can actually show, sorry but it just didn't work out as planned!

The Assignment no... the OTHER one

Hey everyone!
What are we meant to do for the assignment worth 20%? I only kind of know, so I was wondering if someone could help me out. Thanks for your time y'all!
