During the study break, we had struggled through team forming. Came back from the study break, I've managed to get some other assignments in other module started. Time wasn't enough.
Week before this, we proposed our idea of vending machine to tutor Jazmi. We got the idea of identity theft vending machine, allowing user to see the impact of how online identity or online information could be stolen and through dynamic content presentation integrating with user's facebook account, we wanted to create a customizable interactive experience for user to see how users' online info could be sold for advertising targeting company to flood our social media with advertisement.
This idea got rejected. Although we are very happy about it, and I'm sure that I could work on the Facebook API and webcam features using flash and web technology, yet, we got comment that the interactivity wasn't complete.
We were given direction that if we want to work on Vending Machine, we need to explore the nature of vending machine. What makes the media so unique in its context? Our group had been through so far to come to an agreement of working on the Vending Machine media, even measured and analyze the architecture of it so to make sure that whatever we proposed is workable for us to complete.

So we stick to the idea, and research deeper into vending machine. We had a few rounds of online meeting sharing ideas and thoughts among ourselves so to figure out a better reason of using vending machine. At the end, we come to an agreement to set the issue and direction of vending machine to the idea we had till the end, the vending machine that gives user a quick getaway from their busy schedule and help increase their health awareness of sitting in front of computer for too long.
We have no time to waste, as the following week we need to get the video documentation done. No matter the idea works or not, there's no more time to think.
