Last Wednesday we were very busy preparing for the afternoon because it was finally the day to present our final products! So we had to make sure everything was presented in an attractive way and also that every technical aspect was ready for the presentation. A bit of stress was present! But in the end we managed to set up everything on time and it was just a matter of waiting for everyone to arrive. Besides a short presentation from each team, it was also possible to try a prototype which we have developed ourselves in cooperation with freelancers. Everything went quite good and the visitors were really enthusiastic about this year’s innovative mediaprojects. Afterwards when everybody left it was time for dinner and drinks which was a nice closing of three days of hard work to finish everything. Good times!
During the week we also got some free publicity regarding the MediaLAB projects on two platforms: the website of the University of Applied Sciences (HvA) and the website of the students’ magazine, Folia. Both articles are well written and give a quick insight in the project and problem we had to solve for IKEA. Unfortunately they are in dutch so the english-speaking will just have to continue to read the blog.
- Hogeschool van Amsterdam: ‘Eindpresentaties MediaLAB: drie innovatieve producten’
- Folia: ‘Fancy en duur past niet bij merk IKEA’
This week we’ll be working out the final bits of the website, game and documentation. And then it is almost time for this year’s semester to be over. Also near the end of the month we will be presenting our final product again; only this time for the assigner at IKEA HQ and probably more IKEA employees that are interested in the project will join this presentation. Hopefully they will be as enthusiastic or more as our audience at the MediaLAB.
And finally; if you couldn’t join us at the final presentations last Wednesday and still want to take a look at our website, animation and game. Below you will find the links. Don’t forget to upload your score!
