[10:44] You: and if you see a project you like, at the bottom there is a button 'Join this Project'
[10:44] Agent Sorbet: It's great news that lydia has space to add team members. If you are interested in helping w. building, scripting, writing, or design you can join a team!
[10:44] Bjorlyn Loon is Offline
[10:45] Shakini Parnass: sorry i crashed, but i'm back now. does anyone have any suggestions or comments for lydia?
[10:45] Lydia Milner: yes, alisa good, idea, i;m not totally happy with the layout
[10:45] Lydia Milner: wat do you think? screen at the centre/back face on and...?
[10:45] Justme Sideways: i'm still learning how to build basic objects, but this is fascinating
[10:45] Shakini Parnass: is the back screen going to have info about the project?
[10:46] Lydia Milner: Justme, the biggest step in building is when you see that everything is made up of simple objects :)
[10:46] Shakini Parnass: in RL, we're thinking of having the screen be at an angle so that you get a "see-through" effect to create a sense of depth behind it
[10:46] Lydia Milner: then your're away :)
[10:46] Agent Sorbet: Lydia at what stage will you add signage, or descriptions?
[10:46] Justme Sideways: yes, i see what you mean
[10:47] Lydia Milner: when i get around to it
[10:47] Shakini Parnass: in the interest of time, lets head over to kickstart
[10:47] Zsuzsa Tomsen: and how does one decide what signage is needed? and how much? I am interested in learning
[10:47] Lydia Milner: i need to go soon, otehr things to do, do you want to look at another one?
[10:47] Zsuzsa Tomsen: sure
[10:47] Lydia Milner: anyone can im me anytime with any sugestions/quesitons etc
[10:47] Agent Sorbet: ok
[10:48] Shakini Parnass: minimal signage is preferred, but enough to convey the message
[10:48] Shakini Parnass: yes, lets look at where you are with kickstart next door
[10:48] Lydia Milner: ok
[10:48] Agent Sorbet: Maybe we can discuss signage in a class Zsuzsa
[10:48] Lydia Milner: stephe i sent you an im
[10:48] Zsuzsa Tomsen: sounds great!
[10:49] Bjorlyn Loon is Online
[10:49] Shakini Parnass: zsuzsa, this will give you a better idea of ways to possibly integrate signage
[10:49] Lydia Milner: brb amelia has fallen over
[10:49] jeremiad Jacobus: sorry alisa ;)
[10:49] Alisa Cleanslate: np
[10:50] Shakini Parnass: does this look like a wallet to you?

[10:50] Lioc Cioc: not till you said it
[10:50] Lioc Cioc: more like a display
[10:50] Zsuzsa Tomsen: oh I see now
[10:50] Lydia Milner: the pump costs 75$ there are 75 x 1$ as a LOONGp ath to the bank htese take in all the uncatu echbs here, but also signify the time it takes for htese farmers to save us this sum of money
[10:50] Zsuzsa Tomsen: hmm
[10:51] Shakini Parnass: i think its a big improvement over the last one and the dollar helps get the idea across..
[10:51] Shakini Parnass: are there 75 $1 bills?
[10:51] Zsuzsa Tomsen: so, having signs be symbols too...that carry extra meaning, it seems...
[10:51] Lydia Milner: yes
[10:51] Lydia Milner: and once i counted there were 76:)
[10:51] Lydia Milner: made a profit that time lol
[10:51] Shakini Parnass: you could rent out the pump and make more
[10:51] Lydia Milner: lol
[10:51] Lydia Milner: yes they do in one story i read
[10:52] Lydia Milner: ok so you get in teh bank with your $ and see the stats on teh pump, and buy your pump see the manual on teh coutner
[10:52] Lydia Milner: then up the steps th the field
[10:52] Lydia Milner: step on teh pump
[10:52] Lydia Milner: anim starts
[10:52] Lydia Milner: video of farmer pumping on teh wall
[10:52] Shakini Parnass: is there significance behind feeling like we're partially inside by having walls with windows?
[10:53] Lydia Milner: the scriptin the pump makes the flats of corn and people grow out of the gorund
[10:53] Lydia Milner: there are grown now but will start down
[10:53] Lydia Milner: yes shakini that is sposed to be the bank
[10:53] Lydia Milner: there will be a bank sign some time

[10:56] Shakini Parnass: i'm still not clear on the integration of the dome, was that something they use in India for teaching that i missed?
[10:56] Lydia Milner: the architests build the geodesic domes as classrooms and other commnty bldgs
[10:56] Shakini Parnass: i like the night sky imagery
[10:56] Lydia Milner: the 2 circles on teh back are to be the color clock thingy

[11:12] Dancers Yao: there will also be a media screen that shows the diifferent points of view about human rights, how we can explore the ideas as images
[11:12] Dancers Yao: it is based on the Witness program that is shown on the video
[11:13] You: if your exhibit is chosen for the RL Tech exhibit, the prize is L$250,000 per team member on your team (up to 4 ppl)
[11:13] Agent Sorbet: are visitors and viewers meant to touch anything to make its start Dancers?
[11:13] Alisa Cleanslate: Does anyone know how to use machinima to capture the image and put it on the drum? I'm trying to figure it out.
[11:14] Dancers Yao: yes...first to play the video...but I am just starting to do the text and scripitng for the computer...and the image creation.
[11:14] Shakini Parnass: what is the idea as to how people will trigger the drum to play video and/or play images
[11:14] You: I don't think you can do that in real time, AFAIK
[11:14] Alisa Cleanslate: that's one of the next steps on this project.
[11:14] Agent Sorbet: Machinima - I will add to my class list suggestions
[11:14] Asterion Coen: agen, good, i probably will your first student :)
[11:15] Alisa Cleanslate: Great Stephe and Agent
[11:15] Dancers Yao: The text and touch screen will appear for each of the rings, and each video screen.
[11:15] Alisa Cleanslate accepted your inventory offer.
[11:15] Shakini Parnass: what types of images and video will be played on the drum?
[11:15] Alisa Cleanslate: thanks Stephe
[11:16] Asterion Coen accepted your inventory offer.
[11:16] Agent Sorbet accepted your inventory offer.
[11:16] Asterion Coen: thx stephe :)
[11:16] Oze Aichi accepted your inventory offer.
[11:16] Forgimor Biedermann accepted your inventory offer.
[11:16] Oze Aichi: thx stephe
[11:16] Lioc Cioc accepted your inventory offer.
[11:16] Dancers Yao: A picture of the person's avatar will appear on the outside ring....the second will have choices of skin colors, and the center, choices of human rights...then they will be combined into the image that willk be displayed on the screen
[11:16] Justme Sideways accepted your inventory offer.

[11:18] Dancers Yao: this image will show the different ways we can see each other, and include people to have human rights, without prejudice.
[11:18] Agent Sorbet: maybe this can be shown using textures on the rings? If I am following.
[11:18] Dancers Yao accepted your inventory offer.
[11:18] Shakini Parnass: i created a device in RL called the "jamodrum" that might be a useful way for you to think about as a way for visitors to input their selections -- it uses a disk and a drumpad at four different player stations
[11:19] Dancers Yao: yes..it will have the colors, and the names of the human rights in the center to choose....
[11:19] You: perhaps you could mock up what you have in mind, even if you only use still images for starters?
[11:19] Shakini Parnass: did you get your computer?
[11:20] Agent Sorbet: yes because I don't think video will work without land permissions.
[11:20] Dancers Yao: Shakini...yes it is a help...Stephe,,,can finally do that with new computer..have put new steps on wike....better explanation there....
[11:21] You: ok, I'll check it out
[11:21] Oze Aichi: if video is a must, we could always setup parcels to allow you to run your media
[11:21] Alisa Cleanslate: We are already using the land permissions for the Mandela video.
[11:21] Dancers Yao: Shakini...finally have it....now can work on exhibit....will do mock up .. .but want to keep emphasinzing the stories....
[11:21] Shakini Parnass: would it make more sense to play back the videos on the tabletop of the drum itself to concentrate and focus people's attention there?
[11:22] Dancers Yao: the table top is where the new images are to be created..after watching the video...the person's story will be told using the drum-computer, and that image dispjayed
[11:23] Shakini Parnass: so does the interface change after selecting skin color to being able to select images?
[11:23] Shakini Parnass: are you creating an avatar? why select skin color?
[11:23] Forgimor Biedermann: afk
[11:24] Dancers Yao: the images created here, will be like a lens to see each other in new ways....to explore how we might include diversity and keep the same rights.skin color is used as an example, as it is easy to see and has caused so much prejudice
[11:24] Shakini Parnass: hi avante
[11:24] Avante Franizzi: hi

[11:26] Agent Sorbet: by Avante
[11:26] Asterion Coen: have fun avante
[11:26] Dancers Yao: the drum-computer is used to create new points of view of each other....yes agent sorbet....and it's a new use of tech and human rights issues

[11:28] Asterion Coen: no problem, only solutions :)
[11:28] Dancers Yao: to being to explore new ways of seeing how to treat each other...after seeing all the abuses in the world shown on the videos...that there is hope, that wwe can make a difference using our mind and creating new imaGES OF EACH OTHER.

[11:29] Avante Franizzi: see ya
[11:30] Alisa Cleanslate: bye
[11:30] Dancers Yao: A place like a univesal campfire...to share our stories and discover new ways to see each other's human rights.
[11:31] You: bye avante
[11:31] Dancers Yao: I want to include people with all kinds of disabilities...new interfaces...so in Rl they can interact.
[11:32] Asterion Coen: all a program :)
[11:32] You: it sounds as if you need more scripters
[11:33] Dancers Yao: yes...
[11:33] You: have you looked in the Skills Registry on the Website?
[11:33] Dancers Yao: to add the colors and the names of the human rights...that are listed by N. Mandela to the center of the computer
[11:33] Shakini Parnass: alisa, could you explain how people will change images of each other?
[11:34] You: http://thetechvirtual.org/skills
[11:34] Dancers Yao: yes...now we try and email some of them.
[11:34] Alisa Cleanslate: I don't know that part.
[11:35] Alisa Cleanslate: Dancers has a good explanation on the wiki.
[11:35] Shakini Parnass: i thought dancers just said you were working on that part, maybe she was referring to something else
[11:35] Dancers Yao: they will look thru the image they create like a lens of a camera, and see the ways to include more or exclude colors, while holding onto the human riths thehy have chosen...to see how people can have a different way to see people, depeding on their image...
[11:36] Alisa Cleanslate: I worked on geting the streaming media.
[11:36] Alisa Cleanslate: Machinima next.
[11:37] Dancers Yao: like seeing the image you normally have in your mind...in front of you...so you can change it..and explore it, rather than just accepting it is the only way to judge someone.

[11:37] You: Shakini just had her third crash
