Week 8: Open House!
The open house was a blast, Team 22 really pulled it together to create a good looking display (pictures below) despite our poster having been printed with the wrong font.
The prototype was polished first with emery cloth (to remove all the burrs) then sandpaper (600, 400, 200 and then 120) and finally was polished with Brasso.
We had 2 laptops on our display table, one had a slide show going with several different 3D renders of our centerpiece (appearance model) and one had our flash interface (computer simulation) that users could interact with. The physical model was also on the table as well as our higher fidelity paper model. The physical model had a speaker in it as well as the wireless leaf that was attached to the surrounding wall. The users could control the interface which controlled the music that could be heard through the speakers.
All of the comments can be found Here
Summary of comments:
- The audience wanted more control over the music (equalizer).
- The audience really liked the shape and the look of it.
- Concerns that the target market is too narrow.
- There is already established brands which people recognize as "hi-fi" systems and speakers
- The audience wanted to be able to hook up their own playlists to the system

Week 7: Mid-Term Presentation
Our Mid-Term Presentation can be found Here. During the Mid-Term presentation we presented a flash interface and higher fidelity paper prototype, we also demonstrated the wireless technology and showed how the speaker/leafs will work.
The Flash interface can be found Here
On the weekend, we managed to get the centerpiece built out of Galvanized Steel. It will need a lot of work to polish it.

Week 5 & 6: Poster-Time
Our final poster for the open house can be found Here.
We have started thinking about our prototype and have talked to Ken about it. He mentions that he will talk to some contacts that he knows so we can get a better idea of how we should build the main centerpiece. We have also ordered some parts off ebay that we will be using for the project.
