WEEK 16: 5/5 – 5/9 (FINALS)

Academically, this is our final week on this project, and what a project it has been! We had our ups and downs, some close shaves, but with the great talent working on the team and great support from faculty and staff, we have made a tool we are proud of.

We spent the first two days of the week working on the feedback received from Dr. Thomas after our latest tech rehearsal. Some of the virtual camera movements still had to be toned down and there were some slight issues with regards to placement of the visual elements on the screen. We were also prepping for our final presentation, which involved a live performance on our system.

We had our finals presentation on Wednesday this week. We had a separate time slot, starting at 1:00 pm, where we had the School of Music students, come in and play a sort of concert, driving our system. It was the first time the faculty at the ETC were seeing our entire experience, the way it was meant to be seen. Apart from some minor niggles in the beginning to get the system started, the performance was a success. It was a great way to set up our presentation, which was explaining our entire journey from conception to execution.

While we are done academically with this semester and are ready to wrap up, our final performance is still ahead of us.We are wrapping up with all the paperwork, but are still making minor tweaks and fine-tuning the system according to feedback we received from our client on the final presentation. We are finally presenting our tool for the intended use on May 14, at the Kresge Hall, the event starting at 7:00 pm. The event is free admission and everyone is invited. We hope to see everyone there!
