Idea 1
Research Topic
-My topic is about acid rain and my project will be installation. This installation will be interactive games and information about acid rain
Background
-Acid deposition, or acid rain as it is commonly known, occurs when emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and oxidants to form various acidic compounds. These compounds then fall to the earth in either dry form (such as gas and particles) or wet form (such as rain, snow, and fog).
Problem Identification
-People mostly are not aware about the danger of acid rain and how acid rain occur.
Aim and Objectives
-I want to make the information about acid rain interesting with games and interaction between the user and installation.
Motivation
-I want to create an installation that is different from my previous projects and to acknowledge the user about this topic
Ideation and concept
-The user will need to do some interaction to get the information.

Design Approach
I will use a projector and a webcam. There will be some drop of water sculpture made by plastic and water.
Idea 2
Research Topic
-My topic is about street light and star. This installation will use a lot of LED light and street miniature. The location for this installation will be in small room or I will use thick fabric to make the place dark enough to see the light.
Background
-In city, we hardly see star during night. This is because the street light or building lights. The more light at night, it's hard for us to see the stars. That's why at beach or village, we can see the start clearly.
Problem Identification
-Those who live in city hardly see star or appreciate the nature at night.
"A major problem for ground based astronomers is what we call "light pollution" - the increase in man-made light sources which affects observation of the night sky"
Aim and Objectives
- To give the audience the idea of why in city it's hard to see the star.
Motivation
-The topic seems interesting and i want to educate the user about light pollution
Ideation and concept
-The user will need to do some interaction to get the information. There will be a monitor to play the video

Design Approach
I will use monitor, LED light, miniature street and webcam. Basically, my idea is when the user come in, they will see the LED light that will be stick on the wall or curtain. Slowly the LED light will fade away and the light from the miniature street will turn on. The user can turn off the light from the miniature and the LED light will turn on with some nature sound. There will be video explain why we cannot see star in the city.
Idea 3
Research Topic
-My topic is about stand dynamics stages during succession (circle of life in plant) and food web. This installation will use multitouch table and multitouch application. The user will get the information through the interaction
Background
- Stand dynamic stages during succession (circle of life in plant) Each family of living things has its own life cycle. Some organisms, like some fast plants, are born, mature, and die rapidly. Other organisms, like bristlecone pine trees, have life cycles lasting for thousands of years.
- A food web is the archetypal ecological network. Plants capture and convert solar energy into the biomolecular bonds of simple sugars during photosynthesis. This food energy is transferred through a series of organisms starting with those that feed on plants and are themselves consumed.
Problem Identification
-the knowledge about this issues is decreasing. This issues can only been learnt when we are in primary school, adult seems to forget what its effect to the food web when plant has been destroyed.
Aim and Objectives
- To educate the user about the circle of life in plant and how it relates with food web.
Motivation
-I want to create an installation that different with my previous projects
Ideation and concept
-The user will need to do some interaction to get the information.
