by rendering question over the purpose of 1920s broadcasting, the users are encouraged to consider the motive behind contemporary media:
pleasure, perspective or propoganda?
digital_
the digital interface is near basic completion, however there are a several issues that require resolution. One is that rights to film footage is harder to obtain than first expected so I'm compiling images of affluence and racial hardship from the Turnbull Library to regenerate into movie files. If executed well, using animated stills will serve better than film footage, ensuring the lines between television and radio communication aren't blurred [a concern expressed during last review]to ensure the visual interface is Wellington-locatable, the stasis imagery includes a 1928 photo of Oriental Parade (a then (and now), affluent area of real estate).
Finally, the largest concern for the digital interfacing is ensuring that there is indication that the earmuffs be squeezed therefore, soliciting a right click- this is being pursued but currently uses text to suggest there is more to discover.

prototyping is underway, using construction ear muffs as a basis for investigation. The difficulty has been retrieving a mouse with a small enough switchboard to comfortably sit within one of the ear pieces.
new switches have been soldered on and the switchboard functions as it should.
future design decisions- currently I am redesigning the ear muffs so they can be custom made as a suitable object, considering longevity and suitability.
