Musicatini

Overview

Musicatini is a set of cocktails that include interaction and sound in its recipe. Each cocktail is an experience that requires all 5 senses to enjoy. The performance starts when the cocktail is being made, and ends when an audience member finishes drinking the 'interactive' cocktail.

Things you need to have done for a minimal viable product

• Each cocktail: the drink + background track + motion/sounds

Things that you want to have done by the final deadline

• Fine tune program so that sounds produced are coherent and nice
• Target 5 cocktails

Things that would be nice to have if you had unlimited time.

• Design more cocktails

Scheule/Progress

Planned Schedule

• (11/10): order LED ice cubes/cups, map sensor to tool
• (11/13): design the drinks (recipe + background + desired motion/sound)
• (11/16~11/26): sound design, practice, prototype tools
• (11/30): prepare ingredients, rehearse
• (12/1): dress rehearsal
• (12/3): final presentation
• (12/4): documentation

Similar Examples
