Nov. 7, 2010 __research for car wall__ - approx 0.55 cars per person [|http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/roadwarriors/]

- approx 1.65 cars in per household

-research generally shows that people are comfortable in their own car -people mostly listen to the radio rather than their own devices (CD, ipod)

-exibit could have fully functioning radio for visitors to interact with (sing along) -or preloaded popular songs -touch screen interaction; where? on steering wheel? touch screen steering wheel (circle shaped touch screen)? -miniature version of large outside touchscreen walls

--car is cut in half -visitors sitting in drivers seat and passengers seat

-car can be purchased from junk yard. (cheaper, up to 90% cheaper from original price) (car parts max $50) -touch screen, the largest needed ( if the steering wheel) max 17" -customized touch screen cost (shape) cost? []

Science

-get visitor to find THEIR difference betweeen noise and music -listen to themselves sing -possibly show frequency and pitch visual -could have city noises/ nature noises for them to just listen. (may think it sounds nice, but music?) distinguishing

Touch Screen Where will the touch screen be placed? __Shower__ Under the shower head Shower head could be microphone __Car__
 * In replacement of the steering wheel?
 * Outside of the car, so just from view?
 * The car windshield but upright?
 * back of front seat for ppl in the backseat?

After 1st presentation:

· NO NICKNAMES! · Don’t make it too long -//presentation was under 15 min// · Add more science? (like explain reverb and psychology…) · Edit video (get rid of owen, cant hear him) (get rid of background noise) - //redoing video// · Program not ppt - //check: prezi not ppt (see link below)// · Format 2nd slide, hard to read bc its @ an angle - //check: cleared. not ppt anymore// · More pictures? // - should put more on prezi // · Don’t say ‘sound’ · Actually have a real track splitting up and a legitimate video of the sound moving and the touch screen actually working (Chris) - //check//. · If we can make the car more accessible // - maybe have one car door removed so that even if visitor cannot come in fully, they will still be able to see inside // · Still manipulate the music @ home · Watch time! · Walk through should be optional // - check. true // · Connection – comparing different atmospheres and inside · Change exhibit name? // -check. Changed from 'Where Do You Like to Sing?' to 'The Music In Noise' (after much debate!! :D ) // · Main idea?? // - discussed. Not about singing and the locations as much. (side info) mostly focusing on the line between music and noise // · Talk about comfort (psychological) · Why is idea innovative? · More music in the presentation · More science · Whos in charge of quote of the day? Put question there?
