On Monday I visited the TRIUMF site and pitched the AR mural project to Bill, the engineer who had originally requested a commemoration piece to thank all those who contributed to the making of ARIEL. ARIEL, the Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory, has been in the works since 2010. This new facility is the only one of its kind\u2014 in the whole world \u2014and is still under construction. The aim of this mural project is to celebrate TRIUMF\u2019s community and all those who played a role in bringing ARIEL together. Currently, I have a growing list of 400 names that need to be put on display. Due to space limitations and the ever-expanding roster of contributors, we settled on a web-based AR solution that can be edited over time. The mural will serve as an \u201canchor\u201d of sorts to put the AR components into context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this lovely (and productive) meeting, I was given a tour of the TRIUMF facilities with Diana and Sean, another member of the communications team. We explored the ARIEL building, as well as the areas where TRIUMF\u2019s three cyclotrons are housed. Currently, these are not operating but are in an annual three-month \u201crest\u201d phase, when repairs can safely be made without suffering, well, severe radiation poisoning<\/em>. Diana and I spent some time taking measurements of mural candidate walls on the ARIEL building, then I got to work on building out a project timeline before going out to late lunch (linner?) at Virtuous Pie. Oh, in case you were wondering, the dosimeter<\/a> did not beep at me in a freaky robotic voice upon perimeter exit. Was really worried about that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of my week was spent setting the stage for the mural portion of the project. By Thursday, we had determined the style of the piece, colour palette, and three compositions to choose from. A key thing I learned was that presenting sketches in a cleaner digital format usually makes the concepts I\u2019m trying to convey more comprehensible, and better helps viewers place them into context (like on a wall as a mural). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
