IDAT101 Group Project Interactive Installation Requirements and Specification

Requirements for Interactive Installation:
  • Must contain some form of media that allows users to interact with it with an appropriate device.
  • Must allow participants to engage with the space and support the activities that already take place within space.
  • Installation must have aesthetic, conceptual and sensory qualities as well as functional.
  • Technology must be able to work under any weather condition.
  • Technology must be able to withstand a large and prolonged amount of use.
  • There are space limitations with the chosen area so installation size must be relative to the size of the area.
  • Installation must not be in the way of pedestrians.
  • Installation must produce sound but must not be too noisy that it distracts other passersby.
  • Installation must be a completely new design and not resemble any of the other technologies currently installed in the shopping centre.
  • Installation must use as little cables as possible to ensure the optimum area can be chosen and there are not too many wires around that could become broken or damaged.
  • Must use light effects to ensure it can be used at night.
  • Must be secure so pieces cannot be stolen.

Our requirements aim to help us achieve the main goals of our installation. Our main goals are:
  • Ensure the interaction adds to the aesthetics of the area.
  • Make the space more interactive.
  • Increase the number of people who visit the space.
  • Make the space fun and enjoyable for those who are within it.
