21.01.09 Project Team Meeting

The project team welcomed Puja Basu. The team is now complete and working towards our 1st real deadline of 6th March, which is the first user evaluation involving Architecture Masters Students.

Panagiotis and Darren have been defining the work packages leading up to the first user evaluation and the proposals for the platform and interface are now formed. There have been a number of detailed discussions about the exact nature of the user interface and project parameters. It has been a real challenge for the group to convey their individual ideas to each other in a way that everybody else understands as the team are thinking on a range of levels; technical/programming, metadata, 3d visualisation, user interaction, legibility and accessibility. Whilst this process has taken some time we believe that we all agree on the detailed approach.

The team will aim to have 3 university buildings modelled internally and externally for the March user evaluation. The base 3d computer model of the campus is being ordered and this will provide a background to the interactive buildings. Users will be able to interact with the buildings and generate specific views of the campus internally and externally, through which they will then be able to download the context, design their own new buildings/spaces and upload back onto the platform for others to view, evaluate and discuss.
