Further Development

My Final Project Deliverable Presentation has held on 18 April. After I have finished the presentation to Koala and Raymond on that day, they had given me some suggestions to improve my work.

Those improvements are about the projections.
1. Move out the logo of the sea projection.
It should be my little careless. I forgot to move out the logo(gettyimage) of the sea photo. But now, I have already deleted the logo from the photos.

2. Move out the appeal/message on the projection at the start stage.
They thought the message is too big size to hide the Hong Kong domain on the projection. So, I have deleted the message when the projection at the start stage. After the interaction between audience and the projection was happened, the message would be shown with a smaller size.

Last stage Set Up

Besides doing the testing on both hardware and software part, I started to set up the whole installation. 


I made a big, sharp and attractive banner on the installation. I bought a big foam board to cut out my installation title “Hong Kong’s Atlantis”. Each character of the title was cut by me one by one. I used the sharp color red, gold and silver reflex paper to stick on the foam board. So that, it is clear to audience.



I used the stainless steel shelving to be the main frame of the installation. The shelving is integrated by screws. So, the frame should be safe enough. The stainless steel shelving can be freely integrated with different size steels. It is more flexible and convenient.

Testing both hardware and software part

Doing testing on  
Circuit:   I tested the operation of the circuit and started within a shorter time period. 

Body detection: I tried to adjust the sensitive of the detection. The infrared-ray distance sensor can detect for maximum 2M far. I had tested to put the sensor at different positions.

Mist: I found that the mist was not spreading out from the water container. For I tried and tried, I found that mist is needed a certain weight to spread out and land down. So, I tried to put the mist machines into a water container with shorter borders. So that, the mist was easier to spread out and land down. 


Projection: I have borrowed a 3M portable projector from CM Production Centre. After doing the testing on the display of the projection, I think a 3M projector contains a higher quality of the display. Hence, I chose to borrow the 3M projector for my installation.
  
Moreover, for the projection, as the projection was displayed on the floor, I should put the projector at the top .I had tried many positions to set the projector. 


Microphone: I needed to test the level of sound received by the microphone. The function activityLevel () control the sound level. I have tried different value to test the sensitive of the detection of the microphone. Finally, I used 30 degree activity level as the sound detection level. It is suitable for a normal environment.
