New survey

Idea and Data Consultation

Today i consult my idea with ms Mastura. In my application the user is allowed to interact with the artifact to obtain information about particular musical instrument. In addition, there is a game to assist user to understand the way of playing of the musical instrument.

After listen to my idea, Ms Mastura said through my application, user should “experience” the playing process but not watched the playing process. She told me my idea may cause me fail the subject and she suggested me to make something which is really allow people to experience the process…

Actually I also know the feature VR application, but I am lack of confident to realize and face it. I worried I can’t achieve the expectation, that’s why I always try to avoid something that I am totally don’t have idea to do…

But now I don’t think I still have choice, if I want pass and maybe get a flying colour result, I have to try it and challenge myself. Hopefully I can make it, bless for me ^^

Survey

I showed the survey about my application I had done to Pn Natalya, she asked me to change the content because the question I list out is too technical, people may not able to answer. So she suggested me made the question tend to design aspect which is more useful.

Rough information about my application

Description (max 150 words)
I plan to choose at least 4 Chinese traditional musical instruments to put into my application because basically Chinese traditional musical instrument divides into 4 types which are the bowed strings (inclusive of the Western bass section), plucked strings, woodwinds and percussion.
In the application, the user is allowed to watch the artefacts closely to understand their structure and interaction with the artefacts to obtain the information about the particular musical instrument. Besides, I also plan to add in a game to allow the user to experience the way of playing the particular musical instrument.

Keywords (max 5 words)
Artefact, interaction, sound, modeling, information

To allow user to understand the structure and information of Chinese traditional musical instrument and experience the way of playing the instruments

What is the user experience goal?

Measurement (after tidy up)

Second time to visit Chinese Orchestra

The leader and committees of Chinese Orchestra opens the room where they put all the musical instrument for me to take photo. They are very friendly and explain the playing way and information about particular musical instrument.

Here are the photos:

The measurement:

Contact with Chinese Laguage Society

Through friend’s help, I got chance to contact with Chinese Language Society and ask help from them. They agreed to help me and asked me go to find them on the coming Wednesday.

Every Monday and Wednesday, Chinese orchestra has practice, but they will practice together on Monday, so Wednesday is more suitable for me to collect information.

On Wednesday, I just took photo and measurement of one musical instrument, because they look quiet busy and I don’t want to disturb their practice progress, so I made another appointment with the group leader.
