Week 5 - Week 6

We are looking more closely at divergent thinking and trying to cover both user/consumer and business sides of the project. Looking past the idea of the project and the realities behind what the project would look like money wise and development wise.

Week 4 - Week 5 

We had some feedback on the project which was insightful and very helpful. It also reassured us that we were on the right track and that realistically we can carry this project onto next semester if we wanted too. This could really help with our creative workflow and development process. As we are still in the decision stage and focussing on research and audience.

We are currently using a Miro board to break down our ideas. 

Problem - the lack of knowledge around the Maori culture and variety of learning experiences.- minimal technological experiences and equipment when it comes to breaking down culture or cultural experiences

Possible Storytelling elements:

3 different virtual cultural experiences/activities that the user will be surrounded by, and has to complete in order to escape

1. Cooking ( preparing a Hangi)

2. Combat (using a Taiaha, learning different techniques)

3. Carving experience

At the end, read brief history on

marae:

- Learning about different features of a marae

- Learning about the purpose of the marae and its cultural significance

Week 3 - Week 4

A more in depth break down. I have come to a stand still this week and have struggled with some ideas on what to follow up and realised that if I wanted to do AR/VR work I would need to team up with others as I don’t have the best understanding of how this works but also haven’t taken any papers to do this. Therefore, I have teamed up with Thomas, Ray, Tim and Raj to develop something that we can call contribute too and all have passion for. Which surrounds culture and using technology.

Week 2 - Week 3 I am currently still sitting in ideation. However, I have a hand full of ideas/problems that I am wanting to pursue. This will help set me up for what project I am wanting to focus on. In CTECH705 we looked closely at system thinking and wider contexts. In addition, different tools that we can use to develop our ideas and make sure that we are looking at different aspects such as social, political, ecological etc. It was very helpful as it was also a refresher of what we were learning in our first year and integrated practices and entrepreneurial paper. After this week I put together a small and easy chart that will help set a standard of what I am wanting to do every week for this semester.
