Reflection and Critique:

Compared with the pre-mortum, the approach is almost totally different for the snow ball. We use fan instead of the proposed solenoids to simulate the movements of foam beads. In return we got more beads moving in the container. But, it is really what's like a snowfall? Having multiple solenoids meaning the movements would be incidental and more delicate. Maybe the scale we are using is a little brutal and too similar to a storm? At last, for the bus tracker, could it use another way of expression rather than sticking to the LEDs.

The difference here is because the team was kind of leaning towards the fun in doing the project instead of exploring subtle and ambient way of telling the data. We do have fun and it is definitely a treat for us. However, in terms of the delicacy, we might have done wrong. For the idea of ambient display and translation of information, previous work is always inspiring and worth revisit. And they would always stand for classical cases to be compared with.
