SPACE
- A Simulation of Chinese New Year
What
My project is SPACE – A Simulation of Chinese New Year. is divided into three parts – 1.preparing for coming; 2.having New Year’s Eve dinner; 3.playing fireworks and firecrackers. These are the three most important and representative conventions when people are celebrating the Chinese Spring Festival.
For my part1, I will give two options for players to choose. One is the traditional way. With red-packets and money(fake) on a table, players can experience putting money into red-packet. Another is a gift/greeting sending iPad. As people are more willing to shop online, I create this “app” to better represent this habit. Instead of giving an actual gift, players can send gifts and greeting through this online “app” using the iPad, also placed on the table(besides red-packet).
After choosing a gift (either traditional or digital), players are allowed to come to the next two parts! The New Year’s Eve dinner place and the fireworks, firecracker place. The two are separated by paper windows and plants so that it seems divided into inside home and outside courtyard. Players could choose either experience first.
Part 2 is a simulation scene of New Year's Eve Dinner using a 3D hologram. Players touch the dishes images on the table using chopsticks, and the corresponding dishes will appear in the hologram pyramid in the center of the table.
Part 3 is the place for players to play with fireworks and firecrackers. (all digital), using a projector to simulate.
