Second Australia Trip

Second Australian Trip
Oct. 26, 2008 ~ Nov. 1, 2008

Oct. 28th, we arrived at Australia. One the same day, we prepared PCs and monitors need to be installed in museum. Early morning in Oct. 29th, we brought our equipments to museum to show our client our progress.

This is Port Adelaide Railway Museum.

Except Conductor Car, most of the Tea and Sugar Train were moved into the main exhibition hall and connected as how they were. One of the staff from the museum was showing us each car.

Shih-han was so happy because we got the approval from Client that we can take out old products in the Provision Car to take pictures.

We shopped lots of “products”. Those old packages are so interesting to us!

A temporary "Studio" was setup in Australian Heinz School by us. Lots of pictures were taken.

Team was setting the butcher interview system for demo.

Des was explaining our plan for whole Tea and Sugar Train to other staff in the museum.

Young was showing the Butcher System.

Everyone was listening and asking questions. Staff from museum include a graphic designer, other three handymen.

After the meeting with client, we took equipments with museum staff to each car to discuss how are they going to install them. Amy from UniSA was suggesting the touch screen position for the Pay Car.

Team and museum both agreed that the corner is good for the introductory touch screen.

Museum staff was writing down the measurements, and talking to each other how can they implement the exterior documentary screen.

Des: "We are thinking the documentary screen should be this big."

In the Butcher Car, touch screen for the interview system will be put there, next to the butcher table.
