Project Milestone #4 – Reflection
Dynamic Rehearsal – http://www.rebecca-e-spitzer.com/dynamicrehearsal/index.html
As the semester draws to a close, CS349 has been a very intense but inspiring class. One of the major accomplishments that I feel I have done (along with my group, of course) is complete a functioning prototype, that reflects a lot of work and learning as well as a lot of thought and innovation. I recently looked over the project (and fixed filtering, exciting!) and was astounded and how much of the project we were able to implement in less than a month (we started implementation of the functional prototype after the second milestone officially). As well, the project has changed drastically in look and feel for the better. The various steps we have taken, the different milestones, have been a great introduction to the methods and tools that developers use to move towards a working product. The initial brainstorming, the use scenario, the paper prototypes, etc. have all been important to the development of our project.
Our project implementation only merely scrapes the surface (pun not on purpose..) of the possibilities with tangible user interfaces, which is what makes TUIs such an interesting field of study. My hope is that our project will be beneficial to future developers, and that it may be further developed into a working product.
Until next time TUIs,
Donna Yee
