feedback @12:24 AM
thanks everybody for the feedback tonight. Below are my notes -- hastily scribed before I forget them.
Perry: More unique ways to access sounds -- based on different things like Time of Day, Speed, Weather? (would be pretty cool...). Have mobile sound spots that are "themed," or like a particular character or voice or something...good idea. How much buffer time is there on the PDA -- how will that effect things like binaural sound, etc, i.e., what would the lag be between when the compass data was received, and when the sound that was mixed left or right, correlated to that specific compass reading, would be read through the buffer. This is great stuff. Before with Perry's criticisms of this specific project, I thought he was talking about more of a 1 to 1 mapping of stuff like speed = rate of playback, etc., which kind of turned me off. but talking through these points helped me out.
Noah: Noah is a real DJ, so perhaps my use of the DJ as a metaphor for my project was not the best for tonight (although for a non DJ audience, maybe...). Make some good points about how DJs do what they do, and how it could be applied to my work. This stuff definitely brings up the all-important issue of making an entirely composed space vs. a user-authored/contributed space. I think there is a happy balance somewhere, but for right now, I'm focusing on creating some compositions that I can control, as one of my primary interests in this project is not only creating the system to do it, which is a technology goal, but also creating a compelling virtual space for people to access. So I want to focus on creating that space first, all the while thinking of how I can add in the element of user authoring to the space, which I think is really important in order to make the system more dynamic.
Micheal Lew: Thanks to Micheal for the links. I was aware of most of these projects, save the sony one. They are all doing some great stuff with sound and location, although none are specifically focusing on a GPS+wireless based system. Very good references though, as a lot of these projects all address similar issues that I've been dealing with. Part of me wants to say that I guess it's not necessarily this technology platform that I'm developing -- it's more a means to an end of finding out why I think this project can be as compelling as I think it can.

Kellee: reference to NYC boombox event where people walk around with their boomboxes, weaving in and out of each other, which sounds like it would create a really great space -- esp. since these are mobile groups, moving around the city. I'd love to see / participate in one of these.
thanks again.
