Group has been set up and the first task is set which includes answering the following questions:

Do you use the Library often? How much? Why not?

What are you studying? (Degree/Papers)

What is your favourite part/aspect of the library (e.g. the quiet, the resources, great place to meet/hang out?)

Is it easy to find what you’re looking for? If not what would make it easier? (MUST BE ANSWERED)

What could be done to make the library more interesting/make you want to come more often (MUST BE ANSWERED)

What is your favourite fantasy (i.e. fiction/manga/anime/moment in history/time period) (MUST BE ANSWERED)

By collecting and collaborating the research gained by this we can then choose a direction to move towards. I have assigned preliminary roles to everybody that are subject to change:

Kevin - Leader, organiser, narrative designer, instructional content designer.

Hiram - Mobile technology designer,

Simon - International consultant, Promotional content designer,

Ke Jiang - Promotional content designer, 

Some initial ideas were:
- To use AR to place landmarks within the library for people to follow.
- Finding a paraphrase within books that the participants would have to relay to the "gatekeeper".
- Instigators to help promote the event as well as break down the apprehension of would be participants.

Some things to consider initially:
- The volume of international students and how they are a major consideration in our design.
- The people we would need to talk to about setting up the event.
- Emergent behavior that could be hazardous/beneficial to our cause.

I have updated the project proposal to outline the goals and details of this project.
