We had a think about space in terms of our pavilion. Our pavilion needs a large, dark space which made it hard to construct one. We decided it would be more worth our time to just use what we have and put our effort into making the other elements awesome.
We wanted to have a think about what sort of space we would need though in case we did end up running with this idea further on.
We initially tried using the photography studio. It worked well but we didn't realise that there are no speakers in there. We tried using what we had but it was too quiet and didn't achieve the immersion that we wanted.
Next we tried the pit. We initially stayed away from the pit as we thought it was too big for what we wanted. Once we got in there and set up the projectors we realised that the huge scale was definitely a key element to our idea. The huge walls and space really allowed us to make the most of having three projectors and use a lot of different surfaces. The sound system in the pit also allowed us to make the music really loud and truly immerse the users.

In terms of future implementation we would really like to try and create a large orb like structure that you can walk inside and almost feel like you are in the ping pong ball. If the structure was made out of fabric then the projections could be projected from the outside too which would add another element of immersion.
