Hmmm as the time draws near for the deadline for studio, so has the realisation that our idea isn’t working as easily as we had initially planned
We were trying to work with Quartz Composer, however we were unable to link the camera from one computer to the other computer’s screen. Trying to find a way around this, attempts were made at using iChat to make it seem as though we’d figured it out. This didn’t work so well however, as you can’t do a three way chat.
As it stands, we’re going to make the frames for the screens, pre-film some footage, hire out/make some touch pads, use Luke’s old hacked keyboard, and do a wizard of oz style prototype. Perhaps separating the screens a little more so it’s not so obvious what’s actually going on. The pre-filmed footage will be used as a screen saver and will play until someone stands on the touch pad. This will then activate the camera to display the footage of a person in front of the other screen.
We have a little time to work out any glitches…
outlook = good.
