Don't forget, exhibition is open to the public on Wed. 2nd June from 6-8 and Thurs. 12-8, in the newly refurbished Carrolls Building at DKIT. Prepare to be dazzled at all the different interactive multimedia projects on show.

Nearly there

We've been mad busy all week putting the finishing touches to the project. All the inventions are complete and are in the room for the exhibition. This is how they look now...

'The Steam Powered Mac' 'Guided Grappling Hook' 'The Gramopod'

This week we put the finishing touches to the 'Gramopod'. It incorporates the look of an old wireless Gramophone and an ancient form of ipod. We also completed exterior shots of the newsreel to be shown in our museum. The shoot involved filming the 'bots', these are humanoid robots which feature heavily in the timeline for the museum. Above is some pictures from the costume test before the shoot.

We had our Demo this week which we think went pretty good. After deciding that the wind up device wasn't essential to the project the plan was changed to using a button that is pressed a number of times. Another interactive Encarta type page will be added to the Macs menu and this will inform users on other inventions and events that are not on the timeline. The 'Gramopod' and 'Heat Seaking Spear' are nearly complete. Below is an image of the spear and the speaker for the Gramopod...

This week some of the dictator scene was shoot, there are only a few more small scenes to be done. Were currently collecting old images of 19th century people and saving videos onto our youtube channel.

We are going to create a viral to promote the project later this week.

The visual timeline is also being worked on. The flash menus still have to be linked together and arduino and flash are still not connected properly. We may have to use plan b which will be a button instead of a wind up device.

This is how the 'Steam Powered Macintosh' and it's menu will look.

Inventions Are Go!

We are currently working on the Gramomixer which has changed slightly. It will be an invention that merges a Gramophone with an iPod style holder. The invention will have a good grain effect and will play swing music! The menu is nearly completed but still having problems getting the wind up device to work with the Mac, we'll get it working within the next two weeks.

A visual plan was done in 3D Max for the exhibition plan heres how it looks...

In our parallel world, steam punk robots, called 'Bots', campaign for rights.
