Style Book

I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel here. There is obviously a lot
of cross over work in this topic - hopefully what I am planning on
doing will contribute something new. So many interesting projects
and quick sketches by individuals, it is hard to narrow it down.
Every time I would look, there seemed to be something new,
but I had to draw the line somewhere. This is a final compiled "book"
of styles that I wish to draw from for ProZeuxis:

Yet Another Development Doc (Use Case / Script)

I have combined multiple needs into one document. This is my answer to
a Script as a software Use-Case. Actual use case documents are actually
even more tedious than this to write properly. There is this notion of
"Pre" and "Post" conditions for each use case. This means, in order to
properly describe a series of interactions, a lot of time is wasted describing
what the laster interaction was, and what the next one will be. By placing
everything in a logical order of how a user might configure a composition
using the system, I think I have accomplished this in a little bit less technical
fashion. If you do not feel that this is the case - comments are welcomed.

Mock System Setup

More of the same from the last blog software - wise, but
now set up comparably to how the actual system console
might look. "Hardware working in cohesion" - That's
a first. Almost ran into a cable length issue to have the projector,
camera and midi keyboard hooked up to the same laptop.
Luckily, everything ended up being sufficiently long enough to reach.

MIDI menu - VMenu beginnings


Ok, so enough documentation and writing papers for a two day span here
(well minimally). I had some ideas about the implementing the menu
system linked to the reacTivison tracking markers. I had to start fleshing this
out just to get a nice reality check on the actual coding of this things.
This shows an update to that (I know I say it's the update for the 23rd -
but the title says the 24th - actually midnight passed between filming and
editing the video - so that is that)

Paper Prototype (revised further)

Another revision. I have ditched the paper cards (except the
title card) for more fluid overlaid captions. Hopefully the timing
is suitable for most viewers to get the important points. I have
been looking at it too much as it was worked on to be a good judge
of this (as I already know what all the captions and steps are ahead
of time). I think I will let it sit for a few days, get some feedback,
and then do any more revisions as needed. For now, I need to focus
on the research and cobbling together a screen capture video of
reference works that have inspired this one.
