Passion Project Reflection:

Since week 5 we have been doing a Passion Project. In my class, we looked at doing an Augmented Reality Sandbox. Prior to that, we started constructing our own from scratch in groups. It took two weeks to plan and design.

Down below is a picture showing our group plan:

Since it took approximately two weeks to do the planning and design concept of this, we finally started construction on the actual sandbox. Whilst construction was taking place, the electronics team were taught on how to connect the 3D connector and the projector so that it projects and give colour on what we want to sculpt.

I don't know what week it is but we have finally completed the sandbox. Well without legs. During this, we did have mistakes. We had to get sand from the beach because we couldn't have sponsorship, our legs were too wobbly and many other things. One thing is that we can still complete it next year. Hopefully. With the completion of one sandbox, we got everything running and connected but the graphics aren't as advanced as the one you see on youtube.

Interactions with the Natural Environment of the Amazon River:

Down below is a paragraph that sums up the transformation of the tribe from a sustained culture to a 

more urbanised one.

The Jaguar tribe are indigenous people that live in isolated areas of the Amazon River in Peru and Brazil. Interestingly enough, the Matses Tribe, tradition people, live by what their religion is. Whilst living in the forest, The Matses Tribe had to go through a number of stages to be able to sustain their natural habitat. In doing so their farming procedures meant that they had to cut down rainforest trees, as so the nutrients within them get washed away by heavy rainfall leaving it infertile to the tribe. Having little contact with the outer world, they started to rely on goods such as clothing which came from there. Due to this, they had been lured into the only economic opportunities available. Not only does it lure them it also affects them as a culture as they go through discrimination and outside influences leaving them with little interest in their traditional lifestyle.

This is like a Reflection/Log Book Blog post:

So this is like the process of what has happened over these past few days of Passion Projects. It also reflects on what was done and who did

Day	What we did	Who did them	What to do next?
Thurs Week 5
	We drew designs      2. Found links to websites to      buy a cheap graphics card      4. Found specific requirements of a laptop 5. Waiting for construction 6. Tried designing	Kahciar, Addyson, Kashaye Jared and Cody Kiarn and Aseem Jayden Josiah	We need to send in our form for our materials and start construction
Mon
	Constructed the letter for sponsorship Finished the design for the sandbox Finished a letter and sent it to the people who we are asking for laptops and other requirements 5. Sent letters out to Bunnings, Mitre 10, Placemakers and fulton hogan requiring sand	Dominique and Addyson Kashaye Kashaye, Aseem, Cody, Jared 5. Kashaye	We need to start constructing…..also need to wait on further emails of Companies hoping to sponser us with sand
Thurs Week 6
	Started cutting pieces Installing Linux Learned the Saftey Rules Cleaning Contact details	Jayden and Kashaye Josiah Negative Sand Construction Team Aseem	For the third time, start construction. HOPEFULLY. Als,o thinkaboutt the research presentation about our augmented sandbox. Find out a way to hook up the connect sensor to the projector for our sandbox
Mon Week 7
	Started the presentation and also took/gathered videos and pictures for our presentation Started putting the legs and base together for the sandbox	Kahciar, Addyson, Dominique Jayden, Kiarn, Kashaye	Continue with the presentation
