Upon talking with my tutor, he suggested that I try creating a user interactive walkthrough for an exhibition stand.
this is what i found out from the questionnaire:
1. 88% said that the user interactive helps them visualize the stand from different view points and allows them to see the exhibition stand properly instead of selected renderings.

2. 88% could spot possible changes in the design

3. 100% said that this kind of media would be helpful in the exhibition industry

4. 88% said that there is currently a market for user interactive walkthroughs in the exhibition industry

5. 75% agree that in the future there might be online virtual exhibitions featuring this kind of media

6. 45% would use the user interactive to visualize one stand. 27% would use it to visualize the entire exhibition. 18% would use it as a guide for stand placements.

7. 100% would recommend user interactive walkthroughs to other colleagues.

Opinions:
1. This would work perfectly from our point of view for showing pavilion organisers what we have arranged. Also for stand builders to prove how their stands would work to both organiser and client. (Mrs Nicky Hale, Events Manager)

2. I think anything that can help the client to see what you are offering is a plus. Unfortunately not many companies pay for the design effort and for that you will need to limit the effort of any presentation unless you have a real potential client. (Mr Nazih Khalil, Architect)

3. I recommend this media (Miss Lina Mattar, Interior Designer)

For my sixth artefact, I decided to create a user interactive of a tall structure to see what the experience would be like. The audience intended for this artefact is the general public, same as artefact 1.

I created a questionnaire based on the user interactive of the Emirates Flight Control Tower. This is what I found out;
1. 87% said that the user interactive would work for tall buildings or structures.
2. 100% said that the staircase helps them visualize the structure as it allows them to view it from different angles.
3. Only 80% said that this user interactive would work for taller skyscrapers, but I feel that there is a cut off for the height as it becomes harder to visualize the taller the building.
4. 73% said that they still get a realistic feeling and understanding of the structure from this user interactive.

For my next artefact, I will create a visualization package containing images, a 3D video and user interactive of an exhibition stand. Exhibition also makes use of visualization and the most common form of media is images. I will create a questionnaire to find out what an exhibition company thinks of a user interactive.

PRP Artefact 5

Audience – Architecture Firm (Owner, Architect and Visual artist)
Product – Visualization Package (Client Project - Images, Video and UI)
What I did with the product – Interview


Blog link to Client Project Visualization Package



What I found out

1. The Satisfaction of a client is never easily attained; their expectation are always too high. Less information/detail is better, therefore images are more commonly used.

2. If images or a video is not enough for the client, then the User Interactive would be beneficial as it give more detail and information.

3. The User Interactive definitely helps to spot possible changes in the design, for the architect and for the client.

4. The UI would help both small and big clients, but also depends on the payment.

5. Even without shadows, they rated the UI 75% as it gives an idea of what the design would look like in real life.

6. UI is great for exterior of small houses and compounds, but may prove different for skyscrapers and high rise buildings.

7. UI will be beneficial towards interior design.


Next Artefact

Audience – Architecture Firm + 10 people above the age of 30.
Product – User Interactive of a skyscraper and a User Interactive of a small house.
What I will do – Questionnaire to find out the difference in opinions about a UI for a small house and a UI for a skyscraper.
