Our aim for this project is to use any specific board game as inspiration to create a novel interactive experience.

After considering our initial aim for the project, we had a group brainstorm session and came up with the following requirements:

The following is our design specification. These requirements have been gathered from the information we have found in our contextural and environmental studies, and from our research on other technologies which have been used in similar areas

Customer needs and goals 

• An installation that provides a fun, simple to understand and interesting experience which incorporates some intelligence or educational purposes
