Week four, model constructing and prep for presentation

As Will took care of the mammoth task of the programming, Ann-Maree, Felicity and I took care of prepping for the presentation. We made signs, helped find links to things and helped to refine everything down perfectly.
Once we'd all built the model and finished the coding we tested it out at home and it worked beautifully!
We attatched push buttons with casings to the sides and front of a chair and mounted the Arduino on the seat of the chair:





After the testing, we took it to the local coles to give it a real life set up and try it in context. While being a tad fragile, it worked well and we definitely had fun doing it which means our fun theory is in place right?

People who passed by seemed to be intrigued and amused which is a good indication that this thing could actually work I think, althought of course some people seemed to just hate life and want nothing to do with it but thats people.








From the footage we took while doing the context set up, we made two small films to upload onto out google docs as backup for the presentation.
