We felt that our outcome was fairly successful, although there was room for improvement. With the limited resources at our disposal, we managed to get a really fun interactable installation at the entrance to Hunt Library, the results which led to a lot of interaction from those needing a quick drink or refill. The varying levels of reaction to the piece definitely is a positive plus, as most people reacted to it in a positive manner, drinking or refilling and then noticing the moving waves, maybe experimenting with the sensor. A few actually interacted with the sensor directly, which was an added bonus. Unfortunately, there was a level of confusion, at first with stickies to direct users, and later just a few more with concerns over the electrical component's natures.  Still, enough people interacted with it to make it a success in getting people to play with our installation, although a big portion was more or less coerced through forced interaction whenever someone used the fountain.  And although the project does seem simplistic, the work put in and the resulting rate of interaction made it a success as an interactive installation.
