Started sketching out a simple story for the project.

Today I had a meeting with my teachers to make sure that my ideas would work for this part of the course and it was approved. The main points of my project will be:

• It uses Live2D, optionally Euclid if I get time over
• I will attempt to make a book with parts that are enhanced in AR
• I won't have time to make an advanced and fleshed out story, so it will simply be a cute small thing about the character becoming sentient and coming to life on the paper

Not sure how far I can take this, but I think ideally I'd like to make a digital popup-book where part of the story is on printed paper, and part of it is with digital pop-up characters, that could be really fun. Maybe also a mix of physical and digital popup content? Either way I don't think I'll have the time to learn the technology and make a fully fledged story and printed material all for this project, so it'd probably just be a short proof of concept book.

Today we kicked off the final projects for Experimental Media Production. We are basically free to do whatever we want as long as we have an experimental approach. We're also free to define experimental to some extent as long as we can argue convincingly about it.

I haven't clearly defined what I'm going to do quite yet. We have individual meetings with teachers on Friday to discuss our ideas, so I should have something more solid by then, but as a starting point I'd like to work with Live2D and/or Euclid during this project, and then we'll see how far I take it. It depends on how quickly I get the hang of things. I did some loose brainstorming, though, and I want to do something AR-related if I can get things to work.
