Final project description

We were first inspired by an artist called Neil Mendoza. And we are so obsessed with the clever way he connected real and virtual world.

Initial system plan
The whole system is about people interact with virtual world, the screen, by a medium that both real and virtual interface exists — rotary telephone.

On the screen, a boy sleeping on bed. Near him is a rotary telephone on a bedside table. In the real world would be a real rotary telephone in front of the frame.
For now, we assume it’s on a Monday morning, maybe the boy oversleeps and should show up at some meeting, our audience are encouraged to wake the boy up. The script is not set yet, we are still working on it.
