M&J - Developing a rough interactive model of the confessional booth

Now that i've had the design of the booth figured out for a while now, I thought it would be good idea to start building a rough prototype of the confessional booth. I haven't completely finished the prototype as it needs some work to it still, but the outline and model has been put together.

The prototype isn't to scale, but will be interactive. The audience assessing the prototype will be able to place there hands inside the booth, turn on the recording device to start recording, and can have a little whisper into the booth as a practice confession just to get the gist of the confessional booth.


As you can see it's not the greatest looking booth. But like I mentioned above it still needs work.
Here's a list of what needs doing:

  •  I'll be using masking tape to cover the edges and taped sections of the booth. 
  • I'll then start to paint the booth both inside and out
  • Once dry, I'll be filling a straw with some material to strengthen it. I'll place the straw above the booth's entrance, going across to act as a curtain pole. 
  • Using special materiel as the curtains, I'll cut it out to shape, and connect it to the straw. 
  • Now to add the main design to the booth. I'll strip and cut spare cable wires of all shapes and sizes, and glue them to dangle down from the roof of the booth. On top of the roof I'll create small models of pc towers to place across the sides of the roof. I'll also be adding a small sized FAQ's sheet at the front of the booth. On the monitor at the top of the booth I'll be adding something to represent a screen. 
  • Now to add some of the finishing touches. I'll add a chair model to sit inside the booth along with a sound recorder that would represent the recording process of the booth. 





 Once completely finished I'll keep you all posted. I'll be including a fully detailed briefing document with the completed prototype that will help explain everything in depth, with booth dimensions, information and more.
