adding sound effects and language translations, finishing up the documentation, tightening up the DMX, code robustness, backup. Since final construction won't begin till may, we've also started making packages to send to Bob's and GKTW. We'll be sending over all of our hardware, software, content (i.e. sound/video files), and 150+ pages of documentation for the entire process and creation. Since GKTW won't see a physical product till at least May, in addition to all of our documentation, we decided to send them a teaser containing promotional posters, a back-story video, a trailer featuring Hermes the Owl, and some artistic elements to create give-aways and theming needed for an experience.
Because the physical construction won't take place till May, there are still a few things left to do. We as the ETC have committed to finishing this project, and below are some of the things that are left.
The ETC has committed to:
- Work with Bob’s Space Racers, when they are ready
- Integrate computing with mechanical pillow delivery
- Integrate sensors with input devices
- Install Sound System into tree
- Install screens, etc into tree
- Install the final Tree at GKTW
- Install Lighting in space
- Program Lighting for show
- Make sure that final art for experience matches real pillow tag
- Computing backup and redundancy
- Mirror entire system
- Create backup system
- Finish Documentation
- Needs to be very detailed and complete for external manufacturers and future ETCers
- Already +150 pages
- Will take MANY drafts to convey all that the 6 of us know about the skills required to make the tree
- XML Lighting Generation Software
- For programming and timing the eventual lighting in the space
- We have a great playback system and specification, but it’s tricky to create right now
- Be prepared for construction in May+
