more user testing notes

these are some of the fixes that come up from the user testing 090304
we need:
- a way for the user to start playing the song
- a way to play the full song
- a "start" sector (the one o'clock one)
- removal is not working (i think we had it working in the end?)
- the block tail that spans over two sectors is ambiguous right now
- the percentage meter may be redundant

- a way to play from the beginning / choose which sector to play
i think we should wait with this last one, it makes it harder to have the wheel playing continuously.

Changes needed from user test

-Circle needs to be bigger

-Adjust color

-Need a play the whole song button

-Need shims, prop for mirror

-Need more fiducials and blocks, all 2 1/2 inches

-Array for fiducials is too small*

-Kill the black border*

Color Ideas

To minimize the contrast seen in B+W by the camera I propose we use colors with all the same 'value', I think it's called Luminosity.

This article has a tool for picking them.

Here's an example in color/b+w for comparison.

It works!


The blocks play when the radar hits them, the calibration squares set song pieces to blocks, which play.


Yay! Maria and Ryan!
