Presenting a concept

Before proceeding further we have to present an initial concept and have it approved.

We decided that rather than using the game in its literal sense we would use the visual basis of hungry hippos and use it to visualize data.

Our concept was to use a large open space (a public walkabout outside university) and visualize the flow of people through the exits of the space. A camera would be point at this space, which would be shown on a monitor and used as the hungry hippos board. Each of the four exits would have a hungry hippo on top. Each time someone went through the exits the hippo would animate eating the person.
