After watching other events groups present, It came our groups turn at around 12:30pm. Three of use from our group presented our work, including me. I talked briefly about my scenario, my chosen technology and how it works, final output for mode of transport, the final output of how the future transportation system works, and presented my main visual for the future cityscape at a larger scale which was the main final photo collage output require to produce.

During the last week I had put together two A2 presentation boards with the most significant work on ready to present on Friday.

Before exhibiting and presenting our events work I had watched a couple of other event group presentations and was really inspired by the work they produced, next time I would like to implement some of the ideas they had for their process they went through into my work. I liked how every group approach their event with a different solution.

This is the future cityscape which I created showing the future transportation at a larger scale in the context of my zombie apocalyptical scenario.

The mode of transport is that every one/ household has their own pod, which is a smaller more efficient vehicle to travel around their walled city/town by repelling magnets. While there is also a bus system which picks up the pods by dangling tentacles and attached by magnets to take the pods from one city to another (longer distances) faster.

The bus system works by self-drive so a driver is not needed but there is an option to turn it off so you are also able to drive the bus as well just in case it breaks. It uses magnetic levitation like the Maglev train does but has a track above the ground high enough in the sky so the infected cannot reach it.
The pods that people have are very small and efficient as they do not use any fuel or anything that harms the earth or contributes to climate change. There is a track of magnets on the existing roads and a magnet in the pod repelling each other making to float above the ground and moving the magnet on the pod makes it move in the direction you want it to, the higher the angle you move it at the faster it travels.

I started off by creating a few sketches of my idea and diagrams of how my future transport was going to work.
My chosen technology is magnetic levitation of a bus system in the air, similar to the maglev train that travels from one city to another through the infected territory at high speed through a long distance by picking up people's personalised pods which uses magnets to move and levitate above the ground as they repel each other, that travel shorter distances through the protected cities.

My scenario that influencing my future transport is that there is an outbreak of disease affecting humans where a bug is controlling our brain, it is not an air born disease. Earth in 2115 has turned into a zombie apocalypse. High walls will protect towns and cities as barriers all round acting as a boundary between the infected and the non-infected humans.

After the first day of collaborating, I researched into many films to gather ideas for my scenario and technology for my future transport and came across a few relating to the scenario I wanted to create which was World War Z. I understood the ways in which to protect the humans form the infected ones.
