choosing 2 directions for each team

What is a Sketch Model?Sketching in 3-D

explains more than a poster!

answers key questions and further develops the idea

What is a Sketch Model?feasibility and technology assessment

play value / game play

human factors and aesthetic

demonstrates different implementations

Sketch Modeling Materialsinexpensive and fast

use what is appropriate!

blue foam

foam core

wood

repurposed/scavenged/retrofitted parts

arduino/laser cutting

StatiShock

2nd level sketch model

Oreo Separationsketch model 1

Oreo Separationsketch model 2

Oreo Separationsketch model 3

Oreo Separationsketch model 4

looking for approximately this level of refinement

Next Steps?sketch models!

explore variations on how it could work/implementation/technology variations on look/sound/theme/size/functions/user variations on game playonly one person should be modeling the exact idea presentedone person could do a detailed exploration of a key element (casting plastics)

no two people should be doing similar sketch models - explore the space!

cannot make purely aesthetic models

every person makes two sketch models, one of each idea

at least one model per idea must be playable

Sketch Model Expoduring your lab time on March 14 (less than three weeks!)

does this sketch model explain more than the poster?

is it obvious that something was learned from making this model?

is this concept being taken in a good direction?

Sketch Model Play Test (Friday before Spring Break)

Logisticspull toys?

WED: arduino, digifablab, illustratorTHRS: sketch model construction

are there big unknowns about your ideas?

what do you want to learn from making your sketch models?

what materials do you need for Thursday Lab?

take home mini quiz due wednesday:

arduino meet in Rapson 37 (need laptop with software) digifab meet in Rapson Courtyardillustrator meet in McNeal 33
