Reflection

Briefly outline what you took away from this project. What did you learn? What would you do differently?

From this project, we learned a few valuable lessons.  First, with anything regards to wiring, we should not have underestimated the length of wires needed in order to create a setup which would not interfere with those coming into Hunt.  Second, with the projection, with more materials we could have been able to add the two person component and added more stats or text to enhance the experience.  Third, with more time and more resources, we could be able to design a way to make the interaction with the fountain less confusing to those passing by, although that issue is more of a hypothetical, as alteration of the water fountain itself would probably be necessary to fully drive away the concern people may have with random electrical equipment, such as with the Drink Up Fountain, and restrictions on resources, time and feasibility would hinder that for this iteration of the project.  Finally, and tying in with the previous source of improvement, it would be optimal to move from a projection to a screen or a large series of LEDs, as the projector could be easily moved by bumping, could be easily damaged by the same bumping, and the setup with the angling of the projector also was not optimal for the projector's safety.  Therefore, a more integrated display would be best (as it would also cut down on the wires and possibly the confusion issues), but again, due to time and material restrictions, such a project was not feasible for this assignment.
