Revitalizing Taino Language and Immersive Conference Experience Priscilla, the founder of Casarito for revitalizing the Taino language, and Dorca, an Emmy Award-winning animator, discussed plans for the second phase of the immersive Taino World conference experience with the project team. Priscilla previously worked with the team on a Taino language app. She aims to create an engaging experience for conference attendees and shared research findings with the team. Dorca presented her work on designing website elements to enhance the conference experience. The team, including project manager Ashley Barry and UX writing apprentice Aaron, discussed next steps for developing the immersive conference components.
Exploring 3D Immersive Page Development Dorca discussed the development of a 3D immersive page for a website, using tools like Cinema 4D, Blender, and Spine. She detailed the process of exporting 3D models from these programs and integrating them into the website using Wix, while also noting its limitations. Dorca also explored 3D file formats and customization options using 3G and 3JS, expressing hope that others might be able to delve deeper into it. She shared her experiments with animations, specifically mentioning the use of GLBT and GLTF files, and noted that she was still testing and refining her understanding of these formats.
Exploring Wix Page Functionality and Design Dorca demonstrated a low-poly 3D model in a Wix page, which was well-received despite its looping parts. Priscilla then discussed the functionality of the Wix page, emphasizing that only one person can edit at a time and suggesting the creation of a user account with specific permissions for developers. She also highlighted the possibility of adding animations and hotspots to the page, which could include videos and audio. The team agreed to share the Wix page with others for further exploration.
Conference Design and Interactive Elements Discussion Priscilla, Taíno, and Dorca discussed the upcoming conference's design and layout. They agreed on a landing page for the conference, with three islands representing Cuba, Haiti/Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. Each island would focus on a specific theme: Puerto Rico on writing and history, Cuba on spirituality, and Haiti/Dominican Republic on music. The team also discussed the possibility of interactive elements like video clips and audio. Dorca offered to send out the meeting's details and promised to share the name and pass for Spline. Taíno expressed appreciation for the flexibility and vision for the conference's future.
Zoom Integration and User Feedback Discussion The team discussed the integration of Zoom functionality into their website. Priscilla suggested that the Zoom link could be provided separately, rather than embedding it into the website, to accommodate users' preferences. She also mentioned that event capabilities could be handled through Eventbrite, rather than being part of the Wix website. Taíno and Malihe agreed to explore these options further, with the intention of conducting user tests to determine the preferred method. Priscilla also emphasized the need to consider user feedback from both mobile and desktop users.
UX Writing Team Discusses Tone and Style The UX writing team, led by Lyn, discussed the tone and style for an upcoming project. They agreed on a casual yet professional tone, with Priscilla confirming this based on previous research. The team also discussed the importance of authenticity and treating all attendees as equals, with Keila agreeing to collaborate to capture Priscilla's tone in the communications. Dorca suggested referring to Priscilla's YouTube channel for understanding her welcoming and educational style. The team also discussed a design-related issue, with Dorca offering assistance and promising to work together on it. Taíno expressed gratitude and mentioned a sister project that had been helpful. The team emphasized the importance of sharing resources and references.
Taino Language App Progress and Phase 2 Planning Taíno discussed the progress of the Taino language app, which is currently in its third or fourth phase. Priscilla, a project manager, expressed her desire for a clear framework and objectives for phase 2, aiming to move from the ideation phase to concrete materials. Taíno confirmed that the design team aims to have a wireframe done for prototyping, while the research team is wrapping up some tasks from phase one. The developers are working on implementing the design into real life. The team is moving to a two-week sprint system, with the second sprint starting on Monday. The tentative end date for phase 2 is November 11th, but this may be extended. Priscilla agreed to this flexible timeline, emphasizing the importance of achieving certain goals by specific dates.
Team Updates, Communication, and Documentation Dorca offered to create assets for the team. Priscilla confirmed Friday as the best day for email communication and shared her upcoming travel plans. Feven, the new Dev lead, found the initial transition confusing but was clarified by Lyn. Priscilla and Feven discussed documentation clarity and using G Drive. They planned to use Zoom for virtual conferences with recordings on YouTube and their website, and potentially Eventbrite for ticketing instead of coding it on Wix. Dorca introduced a new team on Spline and asked for feedback on permissions.
