Reflecting on your expectations for the demo day vs the feedback you received, write about how you will move forward for the remainder of the semester with your project.

Before receiving feedback from the IDM faculty, I had three main concerns. First, I was unsure about who would critique my prototype. As I didn't know whether it was a voluntary critique or whether Aya was selecting faculties, I was apprehensive about receiving feedback from faculties with more research backgrounds, fearing they might not appreciate my work or provide practical feedback on tangible installations. However, when Aya involved Scott, I was reassured that I would receive valuable feedback. Indeed, Aya, Scott, and Jean all provided fantastic suggestions.

My second concern revolved around speed. The fastest speed for the motor was 18, as setting it to 20 would cause it to jam. I was concerned that this speed might be too slow and the movement too subtle. However, Scott pointed out that dreams are not meant to be quick. Reflecting on the purpose of Remnant, which is to encourage people to calm down, relax, and reflect, I realized that a slower speed would be more suitable.

Finally, I was concerned about the lighting, which I didn't showcase during the demo day. However, Aya and Jean suggested that exterior lighting would be more effective than placing lights inside the fragment. This was a new idea I hadn't considered before, and it turned out to be a great suggestion that also saved a lot of time.

For the remainder, I will start focusing on three main parts: Fabricating more fragments, and winch systems and exploring how to integrate the pulley system into the whole structure; Lighting, like mentioned above, start looking for an external light source and find a proper color (maybe dark blue-ish dim light; Motion, research and test the chain movement among the fragment paring with the sleeping cycle.
