Assignment 1 Feedback

During the presentations on tuesday, each class member was required to write out feedback and responses for each presentation. Ok, so only 16 people actually handed them in. And ok, so one of those was mine. And there were quite a few that just said "good presentation". But I went through and cut out the ones that were relatively interesting, and here they are :

Most of them I can read. That bottom one I've no idea, it had squids and stuff drawn all over the sheet. Someone must really love their cuttlefish.

Most of these ideas I reckon we should take on board. Roughly, I think this is the translation :

1 - I had reservations on user answers, and think these be manually screened
2 - Is this really suitable for an art gallery? more likely to suit a shipping center( re :P )
3 - Voice Activation / database to ... something
4 - Will the person hear the computer fan ? How willing are people going to be to follow the rules?
5 - Generic comments
6 - Research other projects which are similar
7 - Excellent presentation even though the idea is not too convincing ( maybe the idea just doesnt interest me )
8 - Chance that people will say something things? Limit it to horoscopes to get more generalised response. Measure cost, dont trust megan ( get broke? ) The recieving box doesnt need to use voices to choose

That's as best as I could decipher them. . . They say the more creative you are, the messier your handwriting , we must have a very creative class ;)

On top of these responses, during the presentation, a few people had suggestions.

• Research the usenet oracle ( http://cgi.cs.indiana.edu/~oracle/index.cgi )
• Limit / Eliminate voice recognition
• Use Physical Answer System ( eg, tarot cards, crystal ball )
• User answer screening ( "was this helpful ? yes, no " )
• Manual screening of answers each night
• Two shadows - one for question, one for answer ( two voices )

I think that's everything. Pierre, megan did I miss anything ?

So guys, comments / ideas as to where to take it from here ?
