I added shellac to the laptop case to give it a nice glossy finish to the paint. It gives it a bit of a brown tint as well which enhances the mottled effect of the paint. I'm surprised that the finish looked that good because it's a very old container of shellac I kept from yr11 in highschool.
Also, we did Tom's visualisation at the crossing just outside AUT tower. It didn't go very successfully to be honest. People were too scared to press the button and too scared of the ghoulish-looking heads on a box to approach and interact. Another flaw is that when people wait to cross a crossing, there is never a need to press any buttons at the crossing because the crossing simply does it for you automatically. Also, there was far to much interference from other radio channels for the speakers to work properly. Still, tomorrow, we will try and capture more data for separate visualisations.
I think this was one of the limitations we didn't really think about. When testing the radios in the studios they could work well, because the studio shields off some of the interference. But outside in the open there is little shielding so there was so much interference with our radios that it couldn't work properly. I think this is interesting in this project. How you don't know what's going to work and what isn't. So far it's the most experimental project out of all the ones we've had so far.
