During the user testing stages, I got a lot of feedback that I wish I had the time to incorporate. There were also additions to my original idea from my project proposal that I had to scale down from. Lastly, I haven’t forgotton about the problems I ran into and was never able to fix before the project was due. So, I decided to compile everything into this page for reference if I decide to further work on this project.

Additional features:

• button to turn on or off or reset settings

• button for tutorial

• button to save canvas

  • While I couldn’t make a new button for this, I did throw it into key pressed using information from this thread.

  function keyPressed() {
  	if (keyCode === 32){
  		let fs = fullscreen();
  		fullscreen(!fs);
  	} else if (keyCode === RETURN){
  		save('myCanvas.png')
  		return false
  	}
  }
  

Additonal palette construction:

• Drawing icons on the palette to explain some of the features minimally, while also retaining sense of exploration.
• Dim neopixel brightness (really bright when in dark room or lights off), diffuse LED
• Foam pad (like bedding foam or packaging foam) instead of 2 palettes because 2 palettes might be heavy

Art experience vs big screen:

• Displaying gradient on a LED screen on a easel to go with palette
• Project to a large screen and surround/immerse user with color.

Fundamental differences:

1. Color Assigning
   1. Currently, the toggle functions more like assigning a color to one side or the other instead of toggling between the colors.
   2. Unable to edit the previous color
