Patrick Harty-Final Year Project

Abstract This Final Year Project Proposal document contains the introduction to my project, “A Journey through Inscape”, were I lay out what my idea is, its core aims, the target demographic and the technology used. In the following section I will describe how this project can be applied in a business context. This includes covering it’s unique selling points, sources of funding or methods of generating revenue. In the section three, we will cover the cultural relevance of poetry among young people and examine how the use of interactive technology can make the medium more engaging. Section 4 will cover the tools and methods used to implement this project, followed by an approximate production timeline. This proposal will end with a summary of the entire project, before presenting a list of references used for research. Section 1 -Introduction   For my final year project, I will create an interactive, 3D VR adaptation of Gerald Manley Hopkin’s poem, “Spring”. The 3D experience w...

The experience will start in a winter forest, the landscape dead and cold. As the user slowly walks forward, a disembodied voice will narrate the poem. The words spoken will have a direct effect on the environment around the user, bringing life into the forest, through animations and visual effects. However, since one of the key themes of the poem is the passage of time and the loss of innocence, the environment will...

Final project Year Project Proposal Survey     As part of my research for my final year project, I decided to conduct a small survey to gain insight primarily to gain insight if they had struggled with studying poetry as a former/current secondary school student.   If so, I wanted to explain why as to gain a better understanding why they feel/felt the secondary school method of teaching the medium didn't  apply to them.   Furthermore, I also enquired if poetry was taught/presented through an interactive experience complete with visual imagery/animation and audio, would it aid them in gaining a better understating of the poem's  core themes and emotions.   Finally, I wanted to hear their own personal opinions to how poetry can be taught more effectively in general.  Below are a selection of screen shots of how the questions were presented on survey monkey.     Results  ...
