PITCHING OF PROJECTS ASSIGNMENT 3 PART 1 (add on)

Here are some more projects that I would like to pitch:

3.Body Language

This project would be exploring on the sending of a hug over the internet. Using robots.

The budget that I might need is maybe around $5000 dollars to get the electronics and also the sensors for sensing touch.

I might need a team of 3,me plus a person who can do coding and a person who can do the electrical engineering to get the electronics wired up.

Pros of the project: Fun and innovative and tries to question the position of the human touch in this world of electronics and data.

Cons: Might be a bit difficult to do if there is not enough research done in this area. Might get a bit too expensive.

4.  The world in one place. 

This project is inspired by Airbnb’s office.  It was voted to be one of the best place to work in in 2016.

I was really inspired by their layout of their office. Airbnb’s rooms are all inspired by listings on the platform to showcase the vast diversity of destinations on offer through the website. They have rooms of different themes, such as the Mumbai cafe room where it transports you to India in that space.

The budget that I might need is maybe around $5 mil dollars to build everything. Ideally, it will be a great idea for universities to implement such study rooms with themes of different countries.

I might need a large team of people who are specialized in designing the whole structure, the interior design and also construction firms who are skilled in building the structure

Pros of the project: Fun and innovative, making the world a smaller place.

Cons: Expensive.

5.  Imaginarium 

Imagine a space where you can create whatever you want without limits.

This project is one which allows users to create objects of use or draw in 3D space , all in virtual reality.  You can do things like virtual pottery, design clothes and put it on a 3d model and view it from all directions.

The budget that I might need is maybe around  $10 000 for the equipment and the research that needs to be done .

I might need a  team of people who are specialized in coding for virtual reality, 3d modellers and testers to test the programme.

Pros of the project: Fun and innovative, making the world a smaller place.

Cons: Might be time consuming.

6.  Our face is data. 

This project is inspired by a Russian photography student that carried out an experiment to show how easy it is to identify complete strangers.

Twenty-one-year-old Egor Tsvetkov took photos of people in public places and then tracked them down on the Russian social media site VKontakte using a facial recognition app.

You can see the project here .

I would like to explore the idea of how much we can learn about a person just from their face in this world of data and social networks.

The budget that I might need is maybe around  $8 000 for the research that needs to be done .

I might need a  team of people who are specialized in coding for facial recognition softwares and online profiling.

Pros of the project: Questions our relationship with the world in this age of social media and the issue of privacy.

Cons: Might not have so much research done in this area.

Project Pitch

I would like to pitch the following for my project:

1 . For the individual work: an installation that deals with creating a space for people to have an audio-visual sensory experience that takes them to another place.

For the pair work, I would like to create a system where artists can come together to share items with one another. kind of like the really free flea market. Where everything in the flea market is free.
