Week 8

As we decided to do the "interactive storybook" for our topice, we had been throughlots of ideas on the physical book and tehnology part. We have present our prototype and some technology issues in the second presentation. After the presentation, we got lots of useful feedbacks from tutors and also some suggestions that could be improve for the physical storybook.


Technology
We had just been through lots of idea on technology part. We were thinking use RFIDand barcode technology before, because we try to design a storybook that could change the animations in the context when children turn over the page. However, we asked tutorsabout these technology and he suggested that it would has lots of technology issues and problems and maybe not suit in this design.
After serevl discussions, we finally decided to use projecter and webcam to present ourproject idea. The basic idea is when webcam sensor the different tags in the storybook, it would change the animations automaticly and present on the book through projecter. Howeber, we need to spent a lots of time to learn and analyse on action script part.

Physical book

The main purpose for this project is about interactive, so change animations is not enough. Therefore, we are going to design the interactive functions in the storybook.For example, when children rotate the side in the storybook the animation could change.
