Today, we worked on brainstorming ideas about our project on the holographic map. We found that by using glass prisms, we could simulate the appearance of a hologram. This map would allow people see a map through a holographic experience. During this period, we built a cardboard mockup of the prism. It is a trapezoidal prism made of several cardboard pieces glued together with hot glue. We also have an idea about a magnifying glass that would serve as a zoom on the map and we even had an idea about a map that would open up when you zoom in, much like the mechanical flower.
