Poster design process

First of all, we started off research about how to create a poster that is informative and professional while keeping it aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

we sketched down some ideas and we talked about the pros and cons but after a long discussion we settled on this layout of the poster,


We chose this layout because this is colorful so it is eye-catching. While keeping it nice and distinctive, it also keeps each section nice and tidy as we have lots of material to go over hence it is useful to have each section separated in an organized fashion.


We had drafted many posters and contemplate how to phrase our paragraphs and keep it straight forward and entertaining.

We want to utilize all the space on the poster. Although A1 size should be large enough for all the split sections, it is still challenging to keep the theory behind the sandbox straight forward and uncomplicated with matching images.



We will have a QR code that brings the reader straight to our blog hence they can have a better insight into our design process.

After a long exchange of ideas and thoughts, we presented our draft poster to our supervisor.

We learned that we had to:

  • Have an image of the finished product right at the center of the poster so it is eye catching
  • The explanation for the senor of how it works
  • Create a flowchart to show dataflow
  • Keeping the fonts consistent throughout the poster
  • Have a brief explanation captioned under each photo
  • Have fewer pictures and instead have a larger high-resolution picture
  • Change the abstract
  • Add Cost of components part ~£1000
  • Delete the link and leave the QR code
  • Captioned the images
  • Add a section of design improvements
  • leave out space for references

Semi-final draft:



After a phase of meticulous planning and countless time of looking over, some minor changes were made.

Final Draft

  1. Thank you for some other informative blog. Where else could I get that type of information written in such an ideal means? I have a mission that I’m just now working on, and I have been at the look out for such information. 3d configurator

Week 1 Lab session

01/02/2019 Today We started the first lab session of our 5 weeks project. Our year two project is augmented reality interactive sandbox which recreates the topography surface with real sand and enables users to reshape the terrain with an integrated Xbox Kinect and short-throw projector. Our goal is to design a fun educational game along with the sandbox. The theory behind the sandbox is a projector is used to create a topical representation on top of the sand. By utilizing the depth camera, the height of the sand is recognized and any changes are instantaneously identified and reshaped. Then the projector will adjust to the changes accordingly.  The Augmented Reality Interactive Sandbox is a new way of engaging students in visual learning by providing an interactive platform. This project is a way of inspiring young engineers though not only interacting but building the sandbox,giving them hands-on experience to the typical classroom env...

Week 4 Lab Session

22/02//2019 This is week 4 of five-weeks long project. Last week, we requested a stand for the projector and kinect hence the mechanic came in and took the measurement of the sandbox. The new stand has arrived this week and we immediately equipped it with a new projector and Kinect . It has more flexibility than the tripod we had before. the Xbox Kinect is positioned right above the sandbox and centered so that it can detect every point in the box so it will prevent blind spot. We adjusted the position of the sandbox so the image the projector produce fills the entire sandbox. Measuring and getting the optimal distance between the sensor and the sandbox. The left image shows the process of calibration which is required to prepare an image (in our case a continuous live image capture) for subsequent data extraction and analysis, fixes tiny defects in the camera sensor or an optical system. Meanwhile, the projector is running some calibration test pattern...
