# Storyboard

Space is one of the problem from my topic, urban agriculture. My project is basically an interactive installation art. The installation is to create a virtual urban agriculture.

This is roughly my idea which based on the data i have gather to create an interactive installation. The idea might be changed/improvise in the future.

A white prop represent an urban city. The prop will be a few boxes(buildings). In upper of the prop there will be a projector and a webcam. Projector will be projecting a  video/animation  from the object detected through webcam.  The object will be small stone with different color. From the different stone color, a different video/animation will appear. The  video/animation   will be based on a few kinds of vegetables and fruit. The small stone is used to represent a seed

Floor plan of the installation

Flow of the installation

A projector and webcam is place above the prop so webcam can detect the stone and play the video/animation

Place the stone with different color on top of the prop

Webcam will detect the stone.

A projector will project the video/animation as the stone is detected.

 The idea of this installation is for audience to create their own space in creating a virtual urban agriculture.
