I am very pleased to say that the installation functioned very well throughout the final show, running for a period of around 4 hours without any issues at all. It was a great experience seeing people interact with the project: One of the main factors that stood out, was peoples reaction to first seeing the project. It was great to see people approach the installation put there face close up to the robot for a better look but reel in shock and surprise when the robot reacted to this situation. Another interesting phenomena was peoples inability to think of what to say to the robot to start the conversation, I found this really interesting and will continue to explore this area.
I am massively happy with how people got involved with the installation, being my first time ever doing an event like this was rather nerve racking, but most people seemed to want to interact with the project which made the situation a little easier for me and I really enjoyed taking part in it.
I am also very pleased to say that I was awarded the Professor Paul Wells award for outstanding achievement in the field of animation theory, which was really one of the highlights of my University experience so far.
