We were asked to find out the connections between the data on Trove to think of some interesting ideas to make a website, app or game based on these data. Also, there should be a specific target audience of our ideas. Before brainstorming, I had a quick view of Trove. It is an online library that has so much information and categories all its data to ten main sections. Even so, each of those sections is still a big database with plenty of resources. Thus, our group decided to break down the brainstorming to an individual process. Each of us digged into the content that he or she was most interested in and then shared with the group.
As a huge sports fan especially crazy of soccer, the first idea came to my mind is a web-based guessing game of famous athletes. The game was like a multiple choice. We show a childhood photo of a great athlete, Zidane for example, and provide four options for the user. If the user got the right answer, a brief bibliography of the athlete will be presented on the web page. The target audiences of this game apparently are the sports fans like me. I also had a matching game idea, you can see it from the lower half of the butcher's paper.
There are also many brilliant ideas brought by other people from our table. For instance, Rena wanted to build a tour app not only to show the route and attractions but also provide the information of a site's culture and history, which will meet the expectation for the tourists with great curiosity for in-depth knowledge.
To broad our view, we then had a look at some previous work by former students and surprisingly found an idea quite similar to Rena's. Nevertheless, we were still inspired by some brilliant work and since the girls all loved fashion, we discussed and came up with an idea to introduce the clothing history. The core concept of this idea is to develop a game to dress up people with the style that matches the era they lived in. It is clearly presented in the picture below.
