We were pleased to show our interactive prototype, Echoes of Tomorrow, to our students, Stratford City Hall members, community members, and GBDA faculty on November 27. For our team, it was a turning point that demonstrated the results of months of generating ideas, revision, and collaboration. Our prototype, Echoes of Tomorrow, is an interactive media piece that mimics how Stratford's natural environment and metropolitan lifestyle are interdependent. With the help of a big screen that projects Stratford's famous buildings and ponds, this initiative encourages users to adopt a positive view on their actions toward ecological preservation and sustainability.

The presentation and demonstration were nerve-racking yet rewarding. Our concept came to life in a way we could never have predicted when we observed the audience's reactions to our prototype and their responses. Their comments confirmed the many hours we spent on each component and demonstrated how intuitive and emotionally impactful our design was.

​

Looking back on the day, we're really pleased with our achievements. The trip has been an explosion of creation and development, from early September ideation to presenting an actual, interactive installation to an audience. Presentation day was a celebration of our team's passion and dedication rather than just a chance to show off our work. We are grateful to everyone who helped us along the journey. Cheers to the echoes of tomorrow!
