scenarios part 2
Alvin
Going to rehearsal for his concert tonight, alvin is stressed and nervous and has developed a cough as a result. Walking past Taichi Express, he realised the health benefits of Taichi and decides to try. After following through Taichi Express he realised that he isn't that nervous anymore and he walks away feeling more relaxed.
Elvina
Going to the esplanade to buy another movie poster for her room. She sees Taichi Express along the way and felt interested. Bust as she is easily embarassed, she was hesitant to try. Seeing as there is little human traffic, she begins to try it out. Just as someone walks past, she froze in embarassment, but as other people started using the application as well, she gradually gained confidence and continued.

i was thinking, this should be the background, but when the action starts, the user gets transported into a bamboo forest kind of feel... so when the user steps onto the hotspot, the bamboos should still come in... what do u guys think?

DI of location
The DI of the location is out!!
Okay. So at the beginning, there will be people playing Chi Kung on the walls. If they sense that someone is there, they will freeze and look/stare at them. And at the same time, the footprint nearest to them will light up, indication them to go there to stand. So, if someone stand on the footprint, there will be a instructor there, the instructor will be superimposed by the user himself/herself.

Something for us to think about
After the presentation on monday, we were left with some questions to think about:
1. Possible factors that prevents users from using application in public.
2. Physical constraints
3. Values/purpose/objectives
4. Continued attraction
5. the 5 secs attractions.
Okay, so after giving some thought with it, here are our answers:
1. Because they feel that it is embarassing to do in public, some are rushing for time, not interested in that topic of installation.
2. Our location will be at the tunnel towards esplanade, thus, there are alot of spaces for us to manipulate. We estimated that each person will need about 15 by 12 feet of space for a full set of the Tai Chi 18stances.
3.To make know the art of Chinese Tai Chi, to the world. The values include:
-health benefits
-stress relief
4. Make the user feel self-achievement and also some visual impact to show their achievements. For example, as they finish one stance, their shadow become larger on the wall, sort of like they are evoking an aura around themselves.
5. Will be illustrated later.

Physical space requirement
We have sort of mock up how much space is required for the entire 18 Stances to be performed. About 15by12 feet.

facts of tai chi
After some researches done on the net, i found some of the benefits of Tai Chi.
Reference webbies:
www.everyday-taichi.com/tai-chi-benefits.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai_chi_chuan
So what is Tai Chi?
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese system of slowly flowing movements and shifts of balance that strengthens the legs while conditioning the tendons and ligaments of the ankles, knees, and hips, increasing their range of motion and making them more resilient, less prone to injury. The constant weight shifts train balance and body awareness, leading to confident ease of movement within the form and in everyday life. Tai Chi is a physical exercise that focuses the mind, while conditioning the body.
Western sciences also believe that Tai Chi is benefiting for everyone. Some of the benefits include:
-Increasing oxygen uptake and utilization
-Reduced blood pressure
-Slower declines in cardiovascular power
-Increased bone density
-Increased strength and range of motion of joints
-Greater leg strength
-Knee strength and flexibility
-Reduced levels of stress hormones during and after practice
-Improved immune function
-Heightened mood states
