Power-ade-Point

Apart from a few minor mechanical and technological errors on the day of the presentation, we were able to successfully demonstrate our ideas to the tutors and peers. After a certain group member accidentally broke the syringe pump that we would use in our displays to show its operation, i was forced to improvise and sure enough, red Powerade worked a treat...and tastes great!

This concept shows an birds-eye layout of the seating in a Brisbane City Council Bus. The image on the left shows the bus is empty, the middle has about 5 seats taken (ten people on bus), and the right image shows the bus is completely full.


After the presentations we got together one afternoon to collaborate and try to find a way we could incorporate all of our concepts into the one interactive bus stop timetable. The three concepts are Pat's part which concentrated on the interactive route display, Ned's part which shows the position of the bus, and my part which shows the capacity of the bus. We also looked at the design breif to see if our design was filling the correct criteria, this includes an exact description of the type of bus stop we are designing for. We came up with many ideas in this sessions and i will go through many of them in the following blog posts.


Throughout the remainder of the project we have been divided up into Object (Pat), Behavior (Ned) and Scenario (me) groups. Each week we will get into these groups in class and discuss different aspects of our designs.
