way to talk about “the arena of play”

i think this hasnt been touched on by others yet and is integral to making an app that isnt just a one-hitter-quitter.

I like that you are explaining your idea to me rather than me having to read a whole bunch off of the screen.

Your minimalist, photographic approach is subtly elegant. I wish I had done that with mine.

Okay, maybe I want to see a little bit more visual variation, maybe a little story boarding, but your overall technique of presentation is solid.

you are forcing me to listen to you because your text is not on the screen, brilliant.
nice style in your presentation

this could be a stretch, is there some kind of colored paper that maybe goes with the app to help you learn where to fold?

I wish you would have shown more visual aids in your presentation, and more of your explanations were written out on the screen & then repeated through what you said. (harder to pay attention)

I like that you’re thinking of your experts and your novices in your app, not just teaching beginners, but teaching more complex folds to more experienced users.

You touch the point of interaction well-and that’s good because it’s an important point. I like the visuals on the presentation but I wish you had a little bit more of what you were saying in the actual presentation.

I love the slides, the photographs are simply yet very nice to look at. I like how you break the process down and research the various factors that go into folding origami.
Maybe you could have included how you would visually show the process in an app. I would have liked to see what kind of approach you are taking with the app.

The pacing and presence of the slides is good. The questions posed are rhetorically nice.

It seems that you broke down the activity and analyzed it. I think the deeper analysis you do the better and nuanced solutions you’ll get. Puuush it.

Some visuals of how people fold and what they do might be helpful.

Seems like you did a lot of research on origami and really understand the process of folding origami.

I don’t really understand how your app will do all the different things you talked about. I remember there was a bird chirping if you folded a crane correctly (or something like that)…if you showed that to us I think we’d get a better understanding of the app.

I would like to see more of your visual process. Your verbal presentation was interesting. Your designing for very interesting touch-points (increasing speed, coaching). This may contradict the meditative quality? It is still interesting.

Strengths:
-I’m surprised by the amount of info you’ve been able to gather about origami. Very well-researched!
-Seems you have a good direction in teaching how to do the origami folds and interpret (often cryptic and difficult to understand) origami instructions.

Weaknesses:
-The actual PDF itself doesn’t have a lot of info in it.Maybe it’d be nice for it to be able to also stand alone as a process doc?
-Also, I kind of get tired of the repeated similar hand shots–can we break away to a close up of paper, or a fold?

-Great way to keep audience’s focus on you instead of trying to read whats on the screen. Still you could have benefited from more visuals showing more of your thought process.

I like the interaction you have with your imagery and your presentation, showing somewhat of a diagram through vector, which is nice.

I think it’s great that you know what types of minds that like to do origami and what it takes to do it, repetition and memorization.

will you be using any extra sensors or mechanisms that the iPhone or iPod Touch may have? such as the microphone, speakers, etc. maybe for some that have a disability may also need audio instruction along with a visuals
