Decomposition of the Brief

OVERVIEW

-design an interactive version of your chosen board game using your chosen technology.

-appropriation must be considered. i.e the realisation of the technology. Don't do something which is impossible to do

-Should encourage people to engage in the technology whilst keeping the essence of the original board game.

-Avoid function design and remember to involve artistic design. Think about aesthetics, think abstractly. 

BOARD GAME

-Attempt to reach a your targeted audience

-Focus on the concept of the board game rather than focusing on the interactive space

-The interactive technology can be anything, such as webcam, wii remote, kinect, arduino

-Board game is chosen by first years, but technology chosen as a group (first years + second years)

OUTPUTS

-Abstract thinking

-Emphasis is on design

-Document the whole lifecycle of the project

-Derive requirements from brief

-Research the technical and artistic background to the board game

-Research the chosen environment and context

-Produce a deployment/operation plan

-Provide a description of how we would go about reflecting on the experience of the installation in use E.G outlining protocols, designing questionnaires, defining success criteria
