Next, we wrote a short poem weaving these two elements into an everyday narrative. Later, this poem served as a script to create a voice narration (a one-minute-long audio piece) that went into the video creation process. Although the final text deviates slightly from our initial idea, we felt the change was appropriate, as it was inspired by a conversation we had with our tutor, Steve, earlier that day. He talked about his childhood memories of collecting rocks in notebooks, perhaps similar to what geologists do when documenting their discoveries. He also mentioned a few things about caverns and a mine (which later turned into a museum) located near the city in which he used to live.
To visualise the card, we used a hologram video-maker app. The process was fun and easy. All we had to do was simply find a high-resolution image of the Aquamarine crystal on a black surface and upload it into the Holapex app. Lastly, we made a model of a pyramid prism so that we could demonstrate the prototype fully. To get the full holographic effect, we had to put it on top of a phone screen and play the video, which we uploaded on YouTube and embedded as a link onto our Special Issue's website.

We saw in this prototype a potential to provide new knowledge, to create an engaging learning experience around energy sources, and also to provide a bit of wonder and immersion into a discourse that can often feel dense. By combining these different elements, we were hoping to create an unusual experience that can help people better understand and appreciate the importance of energy sources and sustainability. It will be interesting to see how our prototype evolves and impacts people's perceptions of these topics.
