The looks-like model of a capsule illustrates the capacitor that will be used to charge a tube in the contribution of killing the monster. However, in terms of operational principles would there be a specific order of placing the capsule specimens that the team needs to collect and places them accordingly in the tube, since this what I had in mind when I first read the team storyboard where the members rush to the library and try to find a clue on how to kill the monster and thus collect specimens of marine creatures found in the capsule specimens as stated in the clue book. I would strongly advocate this idea to add more challenge to your artifact and eventually by understanding the users purpose and mind; it would add a lot of fun as opposed of just collecting capsules in random order. In terms of functionality, you can consider electronic switches rather than using RFID reader to follow a certain sequence in placing such capsule as specified in the clue book. Also, it is still not clear to me how the team would arrive at the decision to rush to the library, find a specific book, and implement the idea of placing capsules in the tube. From the user s state-of-mind perspective this is not self-intuitive, on a different problematic issue, this will cost 5 Witts a tremendous amount of time and I would assume that it requires the guidance of a 5 Witt employee which violates one of the client requirements of designing an interactive game without staff oversight. In reference to the human factor, you have stated that capsules are big enough that can be easily allocated by team members; this may not be necessarily true, you still have large objects that can be overlooked by members of the team if they are placed in an angle or in a confined location that are not viewable from all directions; so I would suggest to ensure that the places where you plan to store all the capsules would be within an acceptable height and viewable angle that different persons at different heights could easily allocate. Also, in parallel to the human factor, the human hand grip size should be considered for different ages and different genders. I would suggest having different users experience your looks-like model and then you analyze their feedback in terms of hand grip and what weight are they expecting this capsule to be? Then you can set your marginal and target values in terms of design specification when you move this project forward. I checked your previous concepts sketches (e.g. door, table, & book) to check if your model has been refined, but since they differ in your previous concept sketches, I would still recommend to state within your description of your generated sketch model other alternatives that you were considering (Pros, Cons) which will assist us, as reviewers, to understand how did you select this sketch? Before moving this artifact forward, I would suggest to consider safety factors in terms of the material used for the capsule casing (i.e. glass, or plastic), if glass is considered then you need to take into consideration that children might drop the capsules and hurt themselves (anticipate users misuse), and if plastic is selected you need to evaluate the durability of the material for extensive usage by different teams over a long period of time.

I understand that you tried to go for the steampunk look by adding the gears and chain, but I think that the gears the way they are now could get in the way of functionality by preventing the canister from fitting in the transfer tube. I think that you should look for other ways to accomplish the cluttered feel of the steampunk look that won't interfere with the device from working properly. I think you team idea is good, but you should focus on one part of it for the final project. Choose either just the bookshelf and transfer mechanism, or just the big projector system, or else you might find that you've taken on more than you can accomplish.

I like that you did a life size model of the canisters so we have an idea what they would look like. It adds on to our understanding of how the entire gag works. Furthermore it contextualizes to how the level of interaction that people must have with the canisters. From my understanding, people would actually have to handle them, i.e. carry them from where they are located to the tube transport system, in that case, isn't the current size a little too big for handling. It might be a good idea to do some level of user tests to see, how people feel about handling them. Furthermore the next iteration should probably be closer to what the final weight of the canister would be. This can be accomplished by making final material choice decisions and making a canister from these materials. Furthermore, it would be important to test the compatibility of the canister with Ed's tube transport system. So thinking of things like is the final weight such that it can be supported by the transport system etc. Overall this is a very good idea and I liked your model.

Nice use of steampunk elements. Clearly demonstrates that its purpose is to hold specimans. I m not sure how the specimen collection is relevant to the 20000 leagues experience. I am also unclear if this would be a task that many people would enjoy. Your artifact is relevant to the team storyboard. Your presentation was good.
