Meeting with Tim

This morning heralded another meeting with Tim. After explaining some of the more frustrating technical problems (Eliza JavaScript, trackthemcolors Xtra) he came up with the following technical suggestions:

• Seek advice from Director Forums as to how to integrate Eliza JavaScript into Director form.
• If unsuccessful use the XP illusion to perhaps open Internet Explorer or other applications to run the java.
• Contact Smoothware to seek technical support on the elusive "missing" Xtra.
• Incorporate web-cam accessibility through the use of a second computer networked to the interface that can capture and provide the images.

He had some very good suggestions as to how to incorporate the live performative elements to the piece, and also some advice for documenting the reactions of the participants.

The most useful piece of advice was that next week's "final" showings will be more of a prototype showing due to time constraints within the course, and that the 3 weeks between the showing and the final submission could hold more improvements and another finalised presentation.
