Muse'Meet Documentation

We are very proud of our final project MUSE’MEET, and we would like to tell you how did we come to this end.
Salomé de Bryas, Amaury Dezellus, Hongchen Shi and Ziqi Yu are happy to present our work that we have done over the past month.

Why should you unvest in our Project and Future Development

Thanks to your investment we would have the opportunity to perfect our application, to push the technological tools we use to their maximum in order to identify the different emotions felt in front of the boards and thus to create matches between people with clearly identified tastes. This is already the case, but an investment on your part would allow us to push this to its limits and broaden the scope of possibilities. Science is increasingly introducing art and their union is gradually becoming more harmonious, so it is a profitable investment you would make, focused on the future. Moreover, since we developed two projects in parallel before focusing on only one, we could eventually link our project 1, our smart glasses, to our project 2, the application of meetings at the museum. Thus, people who have met in this way would see works of art under the same prism with the same information provided by artificial intelligence. This would enrich their conversation and connection.

Investing in our project would allow you to promote an innovative and original project, which allows solitaires to create a family around taste. This original union would allow encounters without borders and is in line with the theories of the democratization of art, globalization and cultural omnivorism. If you want to support these very worthy causes, as well as promote a young and enterprising initiative, invest in Muse-Meet!

In order to convince you and get to know us, here is the history of our project as a group and its conception.

PRE-GROUPWORK

We were all assigned a subject, which we had to conduct an exploration map on. It was “Challenge museum visit experience for families thanks to Internet of Things".

Amaury Hongchen Salomé Ziqi

We also exchanged about the mindmaps we did.
Amaury worked on 5 points in his map and discovered which technologies were available in museums.
Ziqi also explored about technologies. We're thinking of combining his results with Amaury's. He focused on the fact a family exploration is different to an individual on.
Hongchen worked on 3 main points and compared the traditional museums to the smart ones.
(Salomé) I saw in my exploratory that it was almost certain that museums were going to connect with the Internet of Things. I decided to ask myself whether it was a good thing or not for the artistic experience. Sure, the advent of technology was going to challenge museum experience, but was it going to improve it.”

WEEK 1

We were given this assignment : we had to think about 2 projects in relation with the subject.

PROJECT 1:

Because we really liked the connected glasses we all encountered during our exploration, we decided to develop those and to make them fun for family quality time. We decided they could adapt to one’s age.

PROJECT 2:

We also decided to not take “family” in a literal way, but to create a family not about blood, but about tastes. They could meet in the museum while travelling solo, to create news friends with common tastes.



We had to work on those project for the next week and to create a description and a wireframe for each one. We learnt how to use the Figma Website, and we also created a Glitch Website to describe the two projects on one page.

On the description we did a moodboard for each project, as well as a benchmark analysis. We found references, we described the service we wanted to offer.

But the description wasn’t enough, we also had to put some form on the concepts that only existed in our heads. So with the help of figma we created those 2 wireframe.

At this stage, we were still working on two projects and were pleased on digging into both. They were different and didn’t consist in the same experience so we liked working on both.
The teacher gave us good feedback, which only motivated us to work on those projects more.
And indeed for next week, we had to work on those concepts even more.

WEEK 2

We were given this assignment : we had to create the Mock up of our two projects

Mock Ups

We learnt about mockups “Mockups are demonstrators of your concepts that will allow you to easily get end-users feedback. They provide a medium-fidelity representation of your projetcts.”. To realize those we continued to work on the Figma Website.

Testing

We also tested the mockups on HackMD where we created two templates. We conducted a test on 3 person for Smarty and Muse’meet. After each test, we tried to see if the feedbacks meant we had to change our mockups. Some answers, like Madeleine’s or Zoe’s made us change it indeed !
It was interesting to confront our concepts and mockups we worked the four of us on, and only showed to Julien Debyser, to other person.

Mock up display:



We were so happy with each one of our project. We really enjoyed searching for fun facts and exhibitions for both of the projects. We believed each concepts responded to the initial assignment “Challenge museum visit experience for families thanks to Internet of Things".

The meeting with the instructor Julien went well, and he gave us nice feedbacks about our work. We were really pleased.

We didn’t know which project to choose, because we were very happy with both. But thanks to the feedbacks of the other groups, we chose Project 2, Muse’Meet, because we had more to say on it. Also it was easier to develop, to implement and to have investor in it, as the hardware with the connected glasses could have been pretty expensive.

We finally chose to focus on Project 2, Muse’Meet, and we’ve noticed that focusing on one concept rather than 2 was more productive and engaging. We could all commit around a project.

WEEK 3 and 4

We were given this assignment : we had to create the landing page and the documentation

Extended Mindmap

To help us choose between the Smarty Glasses and Muse'Meet, we designed a big Mindmap taking everything we have done so far and summarise it:

We had to create a landing page that show our project, the landing page has to be appealing so the investers could understand our project and potentially contact us to provide their support.
The document page is also very important, it gives a deeper view into the project, what we have done to reach the finished product, and more detail about it.
