“So if you’re new to physical computing and thinking to yourself “I don’t want do to that, it’s already done,” stop thinking that way!”

This line felt like it was yelling at me! I spend a long time thinking of ideas just to find that it is done before so I give up on it! The entire blog itself also gives me mixed feelings because projects like gloves and “things that you yell at” are certain things I’ve been thinking about and I’m getting more confident in wanting to actually try making something like that and giving my own twist to it.

It was interesting to look at projects and ideas people usually gravitate towards. I’ve noticed that most of them gravitate towards a magical-factor, like gloves to move something, tilting or sensors give some kind of feedback. It makes us feel as if we’re some kind of wizards, experiencing something that we deem is futuristic or magical. This may be part of why we find interactive installations and pieces so interesting and fun.
