White wireframe v12 total rework-one-page

1. TheWhiteApp—CatherineWheels/Hippotrix—July2013
A white textured background scrolls up, to give the effect of motion
Six eggs are falling
The background is something like clouds (scrunched newspaper, or existing plastercine)
We track the same eggs throughout
Occasionally the red egg appears and zooms more excitedly around
No egg ever falls off the bottom, but the red egg can
Tap an egg
to activate its unique sound - giggle, sneeze, etc.
Tap & Hold white eggs
You can move them around
Tap & Hold red egg
to make the others magnetise around, then Drag to make them all follow
Swipe horizontal
strands of wool fly across (a flock of birds flying past a parachute)
the strands could interact with the eggs or just pass in front
if the red egg touches the passing wool-in-flight then wool will change to, stripey red, spotty
red, etc (but not different colours yet)
(ian: could wool make all react with group sounds as wool touches)
Swipe vertical
adjust the bg speed
music change too and the eggs might get a little more excited by the speed
note
magnetise can be like "studio" and "yum" not "yum yum" in press here
ref
tiny wings and press here
Large play button in centre
Parents’link icon
No menu of separate scenes
(Possibly a birdhouse as menu, and so the play button will open the
door and let you into the world)
Eggs on shelf notes
Opening state
Row of empty eggcups
Initial taps
Tap an eggcup - an egg falls into it from above (also play sound)
When six have fallen into cups, there is still one empty (awaiting red egg)
Programmed so red egg cup will always be the last to be filled
(so if red eggcup is tapped when there is space in another cup, either it wriggles or an egg falls
into another cup)
The twin eggs (for the twin eggcup) fall simultaneously (or nearly)
The red eggcup
(Tap this eggcup first time & it will wriggle (with sound) but no egg falls. Tap again, and it
wriggles more, but still no egg. Tap a third time and the red egg falls (other eggs all rock back
in amazement (plus‘gasp’sound) Alternatively tap/hold the empty eggcup and the full
sequence will run without further taps
What happens when you tap egg
Each egg has a character, when you tap it it makes a little sound (with each tap one of three
sounds play in rotation) Lets only add a visual response if necessary, a momentary change in
brightness might be good)
The eggs characters
talkative egg - whispery chatter
the giggler - silly jolly
hungry & thirsty - needing milk
sad egg - cries or sighing
cold egg - sneezy shivering
grubby/hot egg - needs a shower
red egg - character: mischievous excitable tigger sound: redegg theme tune

INTRO MOVIE
When you first press the White icon
Intro movie plays - Logos etc animate
LAUNCH SCREEN
Intro movie completes and you are
left with a simple holding screen and a
large enticing play button on it
Potential to include full home menu
Each
time they play the app, your child
will generate their own unique narrative
journey. They will learn about colour in a gentle
and creative environment where there are no wrong
moves. Each scene addresses a different skill, from
cause and effect to caring for others.
The
short animation keeps your child
interested while the app loads, and so they
know it IS loading
The
single large PLAY button makes
it easy for your child to enter the world of
White, while the discreet INFO button gives you
access to the special Parents’Area. The background
image on this page gently introduces your child
to objects from the show which they will
encounter later in the app
This
scene introduces your child to the
concept of cause and effect via the simplest
interactions – TAP, SWIPE and HOLD. Try touching
an egg to get a giggle, or swipe across the screen
to make wool appear. The cheeky Red Egg acts a
surprise for children by affecting the others.
This
scene focuses on themes of
caring and nurturing as your child takes
care of the various eggs’needs. Pop a hat on a
chilly egg, tickle a sad egg to cheer it up, or help
a thirsty egg to slurp through a straw. Each egg
has its own distinct character, so children
learn about difference too.
Your
child can unleash their creativity
as they style a room for their very own egg
to live in. Choose a favourite wallpaper, lamp
and picture, then introduce all the colours of the
rainbow.
In this
scene, your child can construct
and change various elements to make
their very own birdbox. Musical and humorous
surprises keep their interest as they experience
processes and systematising behaviours.
Now
each egg has a home, it’s time to
party! Tap the birdboxes to create beautiful
combinations of colour and sound, then spin the
mirrorball to unleash the fun. Your child’s free play builds
to a grand finale, but they can also go back and play again
in any scene to become familiar and comfortable with
all the themes of White.
