Cooliris is a viable option.
After a lengthy discussion with Shaun, the course leader, we came to the conclusion that Cooliris is a viable option as a method of display. Obviously the program in its raw form is unacceptable since I would have not created it, but with its embedding options it would be more viable and customizable for the use in my project, I will need to build a base Website's shell in Dreamweaver and embed the data on the said site, with embedding I can also use a variety of other mediums like Flv, for the video display, I will be doing extensive research into the methods into using Cooliris as a display app. Its fluidity and wall like structure will amuse and entertain the walls in my exhibition. For the exhibition I plan to have two walls covered with projectors that will be displaying the same thing on each opposing wall, this is because, just like in real life, your memories are something that you as a viewer are immersed in, and by being surrounded, your sensory perceptions will become dulled, almost like lost in thought as you view the various aspects of the piece. With this immersion I would also like to be clever in the audio placement. Ideally I'd like to have the audio placed above and at the corners of the room; so as to be bombarded from various curious directions for the sound, memory calls from many parts of the brains senses, smell touch and visual input, even light can play a vital part in the recovery of a memory. If I get time to complete this to its full I'd like to maybe create some sort of custom lighting system for the piece so that I can have total immersion. With Cooliris, I have a few good options available to me, one of which is to take a snap shot of the segment of the wall that the projection will be taking place and the install that as the Cooliris apps background, with this I can create the illusion of the various media windows almost flowing across the wall. This is obviously an area that will require some research soon. Hopefully, the following Monday I will be getting the internet, so with that I can update this blog 3-4 times a day, and as a result I can cover the content I wish to with greater ease, making the research side of my projects a lots easier. Anyway I have to go; the library is having a break soon.
