Event Plan

Title
Stellar

The Big Idea
“The Gateway to your universe.”

Target member
Target those who follow a large amount of media and social networks.

Value Proposition
The target maybe linked or connected to a number of different things online.
With the internet becoming more competitive for user attention, and the increased amount of traffic of media, Stellar aims to create a "space" where user's access everything.

World Design Feature Categories (in outline format, describe each verbally in functional detail and use visual mockup examples where words fail):

Self - Users are represented by the networks they follow and the constellations they build. The star system are the avatar.s
Place – In pseudo- space/universe. Using the concept/model of actual space.
Purpose – Blue-Ocean, trying to connect everything together to make one access point. Social networking.
Fun Things To Do - design complex constellations that are virtual sculptures in space. Accessing nodes in real life that provide tips on finding more constellations.
Society – Age ratings and firewalls that protect users from accessing unsafe content.

World Design Plan – User’s star off as a single star and eventually build their constellation by linking to other systems/stars. These systems can be organized at the user’s will and they will ultimately control the output of these constellations.

Interface Components – Interface is augmented reality using smart phones or omni tools that project holographic images. Using motion gestures, user’s can physically navigate through holographic interface. Users would sculpt and shape the constellations into desired shapes at will.

Out-World Components – Simple Website with QR code and forums for community development. QR code will be used to access the download with mobile device. The world is ultimately programmed into the “cloud” and all that is needed is a mobile device to access it.

Research

While searching for information about Social networks I came across the concept of Blue-Oceans. Blue Ocean is market strategy is being used with Google and I decided to use this as a base for the Virtual world.

As for interface I looked up recent studies of augmented reality and the concept designs that have been dreamed up thus far. The most notable is the recent use of interface concepts in the movie Iron Man. The character Tony Stark is an engineer that uses augmented reality to build new technology. I use this influence in conceptualizing my virtual world.

WHAT GOOGLE+ IS REALLY ABOUT
