Self-Evaluation

In my opinion, I think this assignment is quite interesting as this is my first time trying an interactive installation project. Not to mention, there are a lot of new knowledge and skills that I’ve learned on this project because this is far way different from the previous assignment. Although this project still has wide space for improvements, I think I tried my best to achieve what I’ve expected to achieve. I’m quite happy because I get to explore visual coding, for instance experimenting with different formulas to achieve different outcomes. Besides, I also understand that different (smooth time) could determine the movement of lines whether it is wavy or not. If this project is being brought further for improvements, I could say that the visuals of graphics can be better and the animations of the graphics can be more natural. Other than that, it is more engaging if the installation can be set up in a bigger form that invites multiple users to interact with it. During the middle of project development progress, I’m actually not very satisfied with the outcome as the whole design looks very odd and the movement of lines is very stiff. I nearly give up because I feel that this is not something that I want. Nevertheless, I did not give up and try to amend as much as possible within my abilities. After setting up the installation physically, I realize that it’s not as bad as I could imagine. It actually still turns out well as this is my first time working on this. Moreover, I also get to use the ultra-shoot projector which also my first experience using that. In conclusion, I’m happy to achieve what I am now as this is just my first try and there are more marvelous experiences and projects awaiting me! I'm also very happy to see people having fun interact with it which I feel my hard work paid off. (324 words)
