Monday tutorial 7/6/2021
Peer Feedback:
My 10 minutes presentation was very well received by my peers. They seem to have clearly understood the direction my project is taking and what the intervention was about.
The comment that stood out to me was about how can I improve my current intervention (mock up website) as it is already very detailed and targeted. My answer to this is that in the future I will plan interventions in the real world. For instance, I will directly test certain routes with stakeholders in Venice and not simply investigate whether they like the idea of the routes.
Later, once I have a more finalised product, I will be able to focus more on the vessel ie: website, app, or printed guide.
Tutor feedback:
Graphic-wise, the text could have been more clear, which I agree with, although the fact that I took screenshots may have impacted the definition of the image.
I sounded a little rushed while presenting, which affected the quality of the presentation.
I should Identify who are the makers and influential people in Venice. Fortunately, I am in contact with a few of them:
- We are Here Venice (Venice preservation)
- Venice Calls (Venice Preservation)
- Head master of the Accademia di Belle Arti (art University)
- Tour Guide
My tutor advised me to think about the downsides of gamification and to speak with experts in the field about them (a meeting with game designer has been scheduled for the following week).
Here are a few downsides:
- Lacking the skills to create a digital vessel
- Playing a game may distract from the city’s history
- May cause inappropriate behaviour in places where respect must be shown (ex: church, museum)
- May not interest older generations
- Difficult to give the tour an appropriate timing in order to complete every task and see every location
- May blur the boundary between reality and virtuality
Personal feedback from the recording:
We were advised to record our own presentations and process to a self-evaluation.
What went well:
I think the presentation was clear, well-structured and it contained all the points we had been asked to mention, with appropriate and engaging visual support.
What did not go well:
The overall flow of the presentation was disturbed by my frequent use of “hum so” and “and heu”. Furthermore, some stutters here and there could have been avoided if I had felt I little more secure about my presentation. Practicing a few more times would have definitely helped.
Transitions between a section to the next could have been smoother.
I looked quite a lot at my notes for security although I knew quite well what to say.
