After several bank holidays and sunny days, our group is coming back together to work through the final stages on our term project.  We were granted an extension of a few extra weeks and we spent yesterday discussing our project plan and firming up some deadline dates.  In the coming weeks we still have a lot of work to do, but we have a plan and a clear path forward in hand.  We've done a lot of work individually, and impressively each member of the group has lived up to their strongest role. Our challenge for the next few weeks will be to start putting the pieces together to develop an amazing prototype!

The following presentation is an outline of what we've done so far.

Our lovely user researcher, Jessica, has put together a project timeline for the next few weeks.  In summary, Alex is hard at work on the Flash development, we're aware that there may be some limitations to what we're able to put into our final prototype and design, but Alex will know soon what those limitations will be.  After some discussion yesterday, we determined that our content will likely be organised using XML, and I will start work on that.  Alex and I will need to have a few more discussions about how to get the content and the Flash interactions working together in a friendly way.  Finally, Eewei has come up with some great design prototypes, along with the interaction layer and the content layer, the design will be the final icing on the cake.

The Wiimote with LED pen was tested before the holiday, and it works with the projectors in the JG Building.  A logistical step for us would be to find a room to host our prototype and make sure that room is booked on the day we present.  Once we set up the location and the date, invitations to faculty, and whoever else we want to be there, will be sent out to view our presentation.

The report will be compiled and written by Jessica and myself, with the draft circulating in the final weeks leading up to the deadline.

And finally, the deadlines the group needs to concern itself with:

• Presentation of Final Prototype - 2nd June:  This is the day likely to present our final prototype.  Tentative to booking a room in the JG Building, of course.  This should be finalised in the next week so invitations can go out for the presentation soon.
• Final Groupwork Submission - 13th June:  And then we can relax :)
