Wizard of Oz - test video

This is a video we did when applying the Wizard of Oz interaction design technique to our project. The subject is pretending to play his sample playback cap, when in real-time the 'wizard' plays some music trying to synchronize it with the movements of the subject.

HCI Project - Persona

PERSONA 1

I'm a middle class white kid. A latchkey kid, I never see my parents. I
listen to hip hop music made by the peasant class from the ghetto in the
U.S. It ameliorates the vacuousness of my lacklustre suburban life.

I write my own poetry, create my own rhymes, I go to rap battles and slam
poetry nights, mostly consisting of all dudes at the events.

I practice every day in front of the mirror. My confidence is rising.
I listen to music all the time on my shit quality mobile phone.
and I generally like to bump it for others to hear on the bus.
The tinny insubstantial sound quality does not faze me.
I would be pretty happy with fabric speakers.
My wardrobe consists of jeans that are 5 sizes too big for me. I normally
belt them up just above my knees, exposing my boxers to the world.

I like to wear color schemes all echo green or sometimes I rock the
orange from my shoes to my hat.  I don't play any musical instruments.
I don't know much about audio but I have an M-audio microphone and sound card where
I write my rhymes over some beats I made with fruity loops I downloaded for
free of bit torrent on my windows machine.
