Concept of my part in the demo presentation

- Global connection
- Teamwork 
- Problem solving
- Portal character
- Cross platform

Research in VR navigation

Past 

Narrative Wayfarer

Landscapes, stories, and games

Chosen design and narrative

Characters
Conflict
Reward
Sport

Project  

Principle  

Alternative narratives

VR fiction

Moving and reading 

Design note: my part will be structured as a single-standing sub-chapter of the whole presentation; I guess it has to be clearly marked as such (e.g. having the sub-chapter “narrative” on-screen while active); if there is any logo or Wayfarer artwork it would be good to include it as early as possible to create a smooth presentation

Production Timing

Practical Suggestion: Keeping the “Principle” part until the end (it includes an 
interesting sub-chapter on the VR fiction which I have not researched yet); if there is time to include it – why not – if not: use what you’ve got
I suspect, that I could be faster with the editing and compression of the videos if I can get some help from CUMIS – so I might end up with around 5 active days 

Schedule suggestion:
Date	Working task	
Thu 30/01	Details of Iron Man  + test video recording	
Wed 31/01	Research so far	
Thu 01/02	Polish alternative narratives + record videos 	
Fri 02/02	Security day (if more time is needed somewhere)	
Mon 05/02	Edit video + try to compress over night [check with Peter for available Media 100]	
Tue 06/02	Write future use + start assembling Director presentation	
xx/xx	Combine Director presentation with West Herts [check format with Clare]	
Wed 28/02	Final presentation in Watford	

	Hopefully the schedule is rather anti-hectic and I might be able to work faster 
in some tasks
