Idea for Installation 4: Face Puzzle Game

This puzzle was the basis for this idea. Using some sort of electric device with a camera the user would take a picture of their face. This picture would be split into nine pieces and randomized. The user would then have to solve the puzzle (as above) to put their face back together.

Idea for Installation 3: Interactive Comics

On some sort of electric device there will be a selection of digital comics. Users will pick a comic then as they read there will be many different branching points where the reader will have to make a decision to progress the story in different ways.

Idea for Installation 2: Expanding Map

A map that expands the size of countries or states where people are from the most. There would be a field where people input where they are from. As more people input their home location then the map will slowly morph into a data visualization of peoples' home locations. A dynamic data visualization.

Here is static representation of this idea:

Idea for installation 1:Interactive 360 Degree Panoramas

Panoramas from different places around Boulder with labeled spots of interest. These would allow people to see parts of Boulder that they haven't maybe been to before in an interactive way. This could be implemented on a laptop or touch screen.

Atlas Lobby Installation: Examination of the space

While examination the Atlas lobby space I noticed several things. First, the people who are staying within the space are all working at the tables. This can be either alone or with a group. If they are alone then generally they will sit with at least one seat in between them and the next person. If they are part of a group then they take over a corner of the table.

Second, people who are not staying in the space either walk straight through or are waiting for class or coffee. The people waiting for class usually lean against the wall across from the stairs looking at phones. This is a potential space for an installation. The people waiting for coffee all line up against the wall that leads into the coffee shop. This spot is a very good potential space for an installation against the wall as people are waiting for coffee.

The people that could be effectively targeted by an installation would be those waiting around. However since they aren't waiting for long the installation then becomes constrained into a project that can be interacted with in a very short amount of time.
