Part 1: Project Proposal




Research your project, collect some notes to answer the following questions, and prepare to share your proposal in class next week:

  • Ideas for a project title?
  • Project description (max 100 words)
  • Who is the user? (the intended audience can also be you)
  • What is the user experience?
  • What is the creative aesthetic/angle/approach?
  • What technologies are required? Why?
  • What do you need to learn/research/decide?
  • What assets/content/code already exists? (your own sketches or other people's sketches)
  • What assets/content/code needs to be created?
  • What resources/books/sites/examples will you rely on?
  • What is the end goal?
  • How will you determine if this project is a success?
  • Cite 3 sources of inspiration (How did you become interested in this idea? Quotes, photographs, products, projects, people, music, political events, social ills, etc.)
  • Do you think all of this feasible in 7 weeks? Why?
  • Questions for your classmates. What are you unsure of, conceptually and technically? On what aspect(s) would you like feedback?





Part 2: Musings in the Sky




Musings in the Sky is a creative 3D enviroment website offers different poems for users. Through the use of clouds and poetry, it provides a platform for users to explore their emotions, connect with their inner selves, and find moments of tranquility.

Musings in the Sky invites users to slow down and experience digital natural world while engaging with the power of language and creative expression.

Moreover, if I have enough time, I would love to develop commenting function, to offers a space for users to connect with one another through their shared love of poetry and encourages a sense of community and connection.

I will learn more html to add one layer before the interaction, and also change the clouds be pre-made rather than click to add one.
One more thing I need to think about is the events listerner, and ray caster to let user to select the cloud!
