Week 1

FIRST EXPERIMENT



I was trying to analyse the fluctuation in velocity when the Local Player is put through different mediums (Air, water). The Local Player's velocity drops dramatically when running into water as the pressure builds while the Local Player swims further into the depths of the water. The Local Player's velocity drops more gradually at a steadier pace compared to when the Local Player first enters the water.

CHOSEN PACHUBE FEED




https://pachube.com/feeds/35475

This is the 5 minute feed graph for Muse - Time Is Running Out. Even though it only sends the data every 13 seconds, you can clearly see the verses and choruses as the song builds up over time.

S.W.O.T ANALYSIS

Strengths

1) The song used is given to us
2) An image of the graph is given to take values from even though it is not live
3) The minimum and maximum values are given for a frame of reference


Weaknesses

1) There is only 5 minutes worth of data
2) The feed is not live, must create own values
3) It's not a very smooth graph and very rigid
4) Details on what the high and low values represent are not given

Opportunities

1) As this is a reading of sound levels it allows me to be creative and think outside the box for my analytics engine
2) The opportunities are much like the strengths
3) As i have access to the pachube feed creator's project i could expand on it by putting in my own inputs

Threats

1) Given only 5 minutes of data to work with
2) No other data to compare it to
