Fiduciaries & Awkward Pictures

Awkward Picture

I think a shape could be used around the QR code that is split in half just like the code is. That shape would be used as the "target" box for the two people that have the codes on their heads. In my opinion this would allow users unfamiliar with what fully formed QR codes look like, the ability to understand the experience without it being explained. If there is a "blob" or a distinct shape of some kind around the QR, the users see that and then see the joined shape somewhere on the screen and get the idea that they should merge the shapes together.

Potentially there could be a little rack next ot the screen that would have cards in it with the QR code that leads to the gallery where the pictures are going to be uploaded. Also on that card, there could be the URL so that people lacking smartphones could also access the gallery.

Also, the camera could be mounted on top of the projection screen and the projector should be behind it. This backlighting would make it so that the shadows were not on the screen and would not detract or confuse the user in the experience.

The pictures being taken could also be uploaded and transferred to a live, growing QR code on the wall opposite of the gym on the main floor. This would build using the pictures being taken by the Awkward Picture experience and when complete, lead the public to the gallery of the pictures.

For the fiducial experience, the setup could be on the 8th floor where there are two windows leading to the staff kitchen. There would be two screen/sheets behind on the inside of the windows that are being back projected on by projectors in the kitchen. There would be random/abstract shapes being projected. Between the two window son the outside (where the users will be) there will be a mounted camera and below that 4 QR codes. Each QR code corresponds to a different element of the experience (e.g. light, screens, sound and movement). When scanned, the user receives a fiduciary on their phone that they hold up to the camera and control that element with. LEDS inside the kitchen affect the screens ambient color and that is controlled by one QR. Another controls the shapes themselves that are on the projection. One other controls the sound coming out of the speakers next to the windows, and the last QR controls the speed and randomness of the movements of the projected shapes.
