finding a direction.

Zak and I teamed up.
the events so far

My Arduino came the day the day of hand in for the Java programing so it was a whoa someone random sent me a package moment, Arduino is something that I've wanted to play with since Leah Buechley (she designed the lilypad variation of arduino) visited AUT and gave us a lecture, I've started learning the basics which which is easy so far. I got the normal Arduino Duemilanove as its the board with the usb connector on it and it has pin holders.  I still want to make a lilypad embedded sewn piece of clothing.... maybe during the break.

we went on a exploration to find screens, and found several potential locations.

and got steadfast on two ideas.

The first: A photo booth like thing in the front window of a camera shop, this allows people to take photos of themselves, and others by txting a number. it needs to be visible, and simple to interact if it takes to long the potential user will lose interest

The second a table that is a socio node point. when people go to a eating/drinking establishment its a space to be seen and to see others, this is more focused on a captive audience. this one has the most possibility's for development of content.interface, user experience.

as it currently stands we are just waiting for the approval to go ahead.
