Success Criteria
1. decision on the scale
- how fast are ants moving
- how fast does this compare to human movements
2. Material 3. Think how the avatar of the human can be incorporated 4. Feedback with human environment so the two are matching 5. Decide on the lay-out/design of the map 6. Prepare digitally (lasercut files) 7. Building the actual environment
Deciding on one material
- wood
- plexiglas (most logic option because of visibility)
- gel (more natural option)
- Laserpointers for human avatar
- small robot for human avatar
- projection
Activities
- Do experiments to test out the scale
- do experiments with materials
- build
Risks
- The scale is a risk factor because synchronizing can be hard.
Solve by testing it.
- the environment should be ant-friendly and make sure they cannot escape
Time
Scale
- experiments for the scale: first two weeks
Combine ideas with people that are dealing with the virtual environment: after 2 weeks
