Blacksburg, VA., Mar 20, 2015 – Team Cumulonimbus presented their material this week, along with five other groups. A Q&A session followed afterwards. These presentations determined a “Go/No-Go” status.
The halfway point of the semester has just passed and this presentation was essentially a status report for the semester. In addition, receiving feedback is an invaluable tool to a great project. Tyler, Matt, and Romico reviewed the past couple weeks, prepared the prototype, and brainstormed future plans. They briefly touched on the research in early February, to the contextual analysis, to a demo of their prototype, and finally the plans for the rest of the semester.
Evaluation is key to success. The Q&A sessions always prove to be a success. The audience was very engaging and constructive ideas bounced from audience to presenters. Team Cumulonimbus received fair feedback from their peers. Now, team Cumulonimbus must use it to their advantage.
With half of the semester left, Romico, Matt and Tyler are ready to finish. But to finish, they’ll have to start. The next steps will essentially be the implementation of the design. They designated the month of April to design and implementation. In addition, they will self-assign deadlines in order to keep a pace throughout the month. In the near future, the team will start building the foundation to PhotoClouds
