For this week’s review I spent my time split between more content research while diving into the technology that will make my project a reality.
For this week’s content research, I decided to change things up a bit: last week I read a bunch of articles, websites and books. It dawned on me then that there are other mediums that have a plethora of information I need, that being documentaries. Asking around and getting in touch with some professors, I found quite a few documentaries and television series that talk about ancient civilizations and the common tie between them (which I will be sure to include at the end of this update). I found those to be helpful and insightful, providing even more content and helping me think about how to go about covering the information.
Having watched and read enough information on ancient civilizations to sustain a stable prototype, I decided it was time to tackle the beast I was avoiding: the technology. Having received feedback from Professor Ault and my student adviser a few weeks ago, I decided to look into leap motion cameras. It looks daunting to say the least, however reading about the technology in articles and watching demos provided me with enough information to realize that if I could execute this the same way I envisioned, the Leap Motion camera would help deliver the exact project I want. This upcoming week I’ll reach out to both Professor Ault and my student adviser, as well as a few other people who might be able to give insightful feedback, to talk about the technology and see if there aren’t other options I should consider and really cement my idea once and for all.
