We should combine three elements with this project - a game (board game, card game...), a technology, and a cultural issue. So the ideas we have are Pokemon, augmented reality, and possibly animal abuse?
Not entirely sure about the issue at the moment but hopefully we will come up with something.
The idea of our project is to use AR (with the use of a desk / surface / etc and a webcam / computer) to display characters. The characters can display different actions and interact with one another.
The aim of the project is to provide a fun, interactive experience with some kind of moral message / issue present.
I'm happy with our group - the second years we are working with seem interested in the topic/idea, and know a fair bit more than we do regarding how to implement our idea.
"Everyone has a shared vision, but each person shares a different vision." It's important that we make sure we are all on the same page, and share our ideas amongst each other, no matter how small the ideas are / rubbish they seem.
We have limitations on the project - we can't really afford any equipment of our own. I'm not sure about the others, but aside from making the little 'Pokemon' like creatures, and designing the cards, I don't know what I can help out with. Those two things spring to mind when I think about what I can and want to do. I suppose for this project, we need to have a pretty simple set up - webcam, desk, cards, the 3D models, and the software / program to make it all work. All of that stuff, at least the physical stuff, seems accessible.
To give an idea of the kind of thing we are aiming for, here's a video:
