Final Presentation and Demonstration

The Noteworks final presentation is scheduled for April 4th and 5th in the Central Collaboration Area in conjunction with Ouroborous who is using the Video Studio and the hallway leading to the Video Studio.

Noteworks will need 6 “kiosks” set around the Central Collaboration Area. Each kiosk will contain a small table, a Windows OS computer with speakers, keyboard, and a mouse, a projection screen and a projector with rear-projection capabilities. The user at each kiosk will face away from the center of the room as they interact with the Noteworks program. The idea is to have the projection on the screen mirror what is on the computer screen, but have the actual computer screen out of view. The projectors will also be out of view if we can hook them all up with rear-projection. The user will interact using a mouse placed on a small table in front of the screen. The final piece that we need is a switch with 6 ports and 6 Ethernet cables, so we can network the computers together.

Breakdown of equipment:
6x small tables
6x windows OS computers
6x stereo speakers
6x mice
6x keyboards
6x projector screens
6x projectors with rear-projection capabilities
1x switch with 6 ports
6x Ethernet cables

The permanent record, or “wrap”, for Noteworks will include the piece of work that we present to the event attendees. This could also include a piece that audience participants produce each night of the demonstration. We will also include a manual, which will be a set of instructions on how to use the program, and what capabilities the program has. In addition, we can describe the process of creating the program from conception to application, including hurdles we faced as programmers, musicians, designers, and a team.
