Project Update

Camilla and me have been struggling grasping the actionscript for our interactive kiosk over the past couple of weeks. We have been using tutorials found online and the help of David Downes. In the last few days we seem to have gained more understanding and things have finally started to come together. Due to our underestimation of how complicated the scripting part of the project would be we have decided to further simplify our kiosk. We are now only using two phidgets, the joystick which acts as a drawing tool for the user, and the vibration sensor which activates an animation. After careful consideration we decided this would be for the best as we would rather have two interactive elements that work really well rather than 4 phidgets that don't work at all. We have drawn up our design boards of what we had hoped to do and what the finished product would be like. This will give the tutors a better understanding of what we would have achieved given more time and if we had planned things out better. This may be a project I would like to try and take further in my own time so I can continue to gain knowledge of actionscript and the use of phidgets.

see this is why i tried to crash your presentation, actionscript. I knew there was a reason I was drawn to the room!!
I am still waiting for the full actionscript penny to drop but it's good when elements of it do isnt it!!
