Personal Project – Proposal

For my personal project I will be attempted to physically create my Idea developed during the Design Process Project. Just to recap, my design process project envolved the creation/modifcation of a peice of existing software that was designed to read facial movement via a camera device, similar to the Playstation’s Eye Toy for example, but primarily focused on facial animation, which could be used in various different industries, to examples would be Video Games & Learning Software.

I have chosen to create a scene from a game, specifically in the field of Role-Playing Games(RPG), games that focus not only on action, but story and meaningful dialogue that immerses you into the world. A rather unique RPG peaked my interest a few years back named “Vampire:Masquerade Bloodlines”, heavily focused on your role as a Vampire within a breathing city, several typical Vampire themes were included, Love, Sexual Seduction, Predator/Prey, dark gothik themes. I intend to use this theme as the basis of my interactive scene. However, there will be no script as you would expect to find within an RPG, it will be a simple scene, an example would be a scene where you are a female vampire at a bar, hopefully if all goes to plan her facial expressions (For now, mainly the mouth) should be controller by the user who’s using the Mic/Camera device.
