On November 27th, all the project teams presented our interactive installation prototypes to a panel of professors, school administrators, people from the City of Stratford, and the class.  The feedback and comments were beneficial to our learning no matter our paths in the future.  It was really cool to see everyone’s hard work over the past term; from ideation on a PowerPoint to a final pitch with a tangible interactive demonstration.  We definitely felt a sense of pride presenting to such a big audience and people outside our classes.  Very 4th year of us!

​

Even though everyone was given the same creative brief, each team came up with their own unique twists on it with varying themes and types of interaction.  A popular theme, we noticed, was about how humans impact the natural ecosystem of Stratford.  It was especially fascinating that groups went about the interactive component in different ways too with gamification, immersive experiences, or a more educational route.

Congratulations to A Living Entity and Nocturnal Visions from our section, and to Fungi: Beyond the Eye from the afternoon section, for being chosen to showcase your projects on the big screens at the Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business this winter!  Your presentations were very impressive, and we look forward to seeing and interacting with your projects on December 13th.
