Another Day, Another Idea

Creative Skills and Product Launching were the main focus of today. The day began with the presentation of our product for our Innovative Product Launch class. Our idea a product that could give you the feeling of being in a live concert - ViGig. ViGig, which stands for Virtual gig, is a set of 3D glasses that plays 3D concerts of your own choice. You put them on, select your desired concert and your eyes will experience a 3D concert they have never done before. The other team’s ideas varied from a wristband that gives off an electric impulse to the beat of music so you can (feign) knowing how to dance, to a device in the style of a sat-nav which will give you suggestions on which places to visit while in a foreign country, based on your music preferences. All in all we have a very creative group of people who are obviously passionate about their field :)

Our group spent the rest of the day being quite productive, working on the creative skills assignment. We had to “create a problem” and follow six steps to try to come to a solution. It was a fun process, and even though we didn’t really get to a proper solution we enjoyed the process.

Although Quynh and David had to leave early to fulfill work obligations we creative juices continued to flow (after a quick lunch break.) We had an (optional) task from Kwela to use colour co-ordinated post-its to help us think of every aspect of our event from the perspective of a visitor. We are having a lot of fun thinking about every aspect of each concept within our event. We do tend to go off topic a bit, thinking of aspects in an organisers view rather than a visitor’s, so we have started taking notes of what we need to come back to and discuss again.

At the end of the day , which is only half an hour away, we will have accomplished a lot more than we thought we would have, especially with Kwela’s task making us really think about every little detail.

All in all we are enjoying Rookie, and have adapted to our new location very quickly.

Till next time,

Kelly & the rest of the beers ;)
