Our job is to create an ﻿exhibition for the Weston Family Innovation Center (known as WIFIC) for the Ontario Science Center involving some sort of smart phone interactvity. Other than that, the specific topic is ours to choose. =====

Hey everyone,



made these on photoshop. donno what to put on home page or w/e want to use a different font but not sure what and if u want a kiddie version i need some kiddie pictures and stuff to decorate with or is this fine and yea comment/tell me to make more/etcccc oh and need more like coverflow tabs at the bottom for the 2 that has it. donno what else to add gimmie ideas/suggestions/images

Here is the Reebokchoy2 logo that will go on our T-Shirts!! I cut out the stencil and decided to do a test run - just to make sure it worked well enough. Hopefully it meets everyone's standards.

Joel heres the edited by Shen Walkthrough from Virginia

Upon entering the hall where the exhibit is displayed, a visitor will be greeted by a holographically projected image of a galaxy in up above their eye level. This galaxy will be suspended above them similar to how the Clouds art installation in the Great Hall is. Beams of light come off of the galaxy and fall onto the ground where a planet is being formed. The aeons it takes to form a planet from its birth from space debris to the volcanic turbulent seas of its childhood to the potential development of life on the planet. The visitors will be thinking as they see this, “Can I touch it? See it up close? Interact with it somehow?” Well sadly, when they walk up to the holograms they won’t be able to physically “touch” it. What they will instead have is that their smartphone will alert them and they will be asked to download an application that will allow them to create their own planet. If they do not own a smartphone there will be beautiful touchscreens on the four corners of the exhibit that will allow visitors without smartphones to also create their own planet. The application will have a streamlined design that gives the visitor a few options. One option is mainly geared towards children and the average visitor. This option will allow the visitors to customize their own planets by dragging sliding bars to choose the size of their planet, the weather patterns, the number of moons, draw their own orbit and etc. Another option is for the repeat users that want to have more control over the customization of their planet. This option will feature the same sliding bars but give many more factors that they could control as well as a wider limit so that they have the more potential to create different celestial bodies (such as a planet that’s too small that is instead turned into a moon by a larger planet). The third and last option is for the very advanced users. This option opens up many more possibilities to the user. They will be able to customize as many factors as they can think of from the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere to the size of the rocky plates that allow for plate tectonics to occur. These three options will give challenge to all levels of users as they create their own planet. Once their planet is completed there will be a holographic projection of their planets creation in front of their very eyes with all the cosmic collisions and interactions that are required to form their planet. The visitors will be able to use their smartphone to zoom, fast forward, slow down, and replay this projection at their will. They will also be able to see through a beam of light exactly where their planet is in relation to the entire galaxy. After the creation of the planet and the visitor has left the exhibit they will still be able to track the progress of their planet in the galaxy on their smartphone device. When the visitor checks back to their smartphone they will find a whole host of things to do. They will be able to see the sun rise and set on the surface of their planet. See the weather patterns that result from the atmosphere. Go back in time to the Big Bang itself and see the creation of the galaxy and the stars and solar systems within it. Visitors will be able to see how the factors they chose to alter determined the physical appearance of the planet, whether it has the ability to be stable or wildly chaotic, how it moves around the galaxy and how it interacts with other planets, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies. However, it is not always easy for a visitor to make his or her planet sustainable. Many will enter this exhibit with little or no knowledge of planets and their characteristics. As a result, most visitors will be unaware of which property corresponds to what planetary change. This question will be left for them to answer – so that they may be able to create a planet that meets the requirements of this challenge. They will have access to all the properties of their planets in detail, as well as the theories, science, assumptions, and possibilities that their planet composition could hold in store. Videos will show the history of the astronomical sciences as well as how these are applied to the popular theories of global warming, thermonuclear winter, and etc. The immersive experience will bring the visitors into seeing the world through the eyes of the astronomer, considered as one of the most humbling careers. If they seek to create a planet that may sustain life, they will also become aware the characteristics of our planet in the process – and why our planet is so special compared to the planets in the universe. The visitors would see through their experience just how valuable and precious Earth is in the grand cosmic scale.

Heres the PS image for now... I have no clue how to make a hologram and theres no good picture of the inside of the science center (or any good area to put a background to this) yet...
