A map of my mind

I like thinking. I don't do it often or might not be very good at it but some time I get a boost of energy and get lots of ideas. This time I managed to get it onto a mindmap so I won't forget all my ideas and it gives me a good overview of all that needs to be done with this build.

As you can see there is lots of options when building touch-tables. The more I read about other peoples work the more ideas I get and it just spirals into a massive project.

I find that the hardware I'm going to build is less inspiring then the UI that I want to build. The mindmap won't show it but I have atleast 200% more ideas when it comes to the UI then with the hardware design. But I hope that I can draw my prototype table this week so at least I have some surface to work on.

So what is my next goal then. Well apart from all the theory I'm learning about DirectX and how to build the table I have a more concrete goal. At the end of the week I will have a lit 3D cube that I can move with my finger. I will prove it with a video and put some pressure on me to get on with stuff.

I just need to convert our glass table in the living room into a temp touch table and I expect my girlfriend to think that is a GREAT idea :D

Enough rambling. Back to work.
