Synthesis

First off, thank you very much for coming out today and helping us make plans for the upcoming complex systems conference.  

1. I would like to divide the group up into three teams: 1) code (XW (lead), Josh,  Connor, Julian); 2) physical (Pete (lead), Megan, Zlaket); Concept (ChrisR (lead), Cooper, XW).
2. Team Code. Can you start implementing your discussion today on phase changes etc. as soon as is convenient. Please use the full iStage system to start your implementation and do not wait for the truss to be completed. I wasn’t there for most of this, but I am hoping that this will involve working on instruments that will be interactive and projected on the floor and one “wall” of the truss. In the iStage this means use the floor and the scrim left from SERRA. We will optimize later. I believe we agreed on doing a demo on Monday, so let’s make that a target date for showing me and XW what you have accomplished
3. Team Physical. Design, implement, and fine tune the truss system to the best of your ability with the resources we have at hand. At minimum this means installing a floor, speakers, projectors, IR emitter, cameras, lights and (I selfishly hope) a microphone into the truss system, along with a series of cables etc. Pete let’s you and I touch base about equipment in the morning sometime to make sure we have what we need.
4. Team Conceptual. Cooper let’s you and I talk about unifying the whole experience, come up with some ideas and present them to XW for approval so that he can focus on helping Team Code. Our goal will be to put compelling aesthetics in the materials Team Code creates, which will be displayed by Team Physical’s apparatus. This means I will need you to come to the Monday demo (which is good with your schedule right?) and if you could be present at 3:30 tomorrow to shadow us in a second meeting that would be nice. Touch base with me tomorrow for more details and context.
