Proposal 1: Truth or Dare Jenga
For this idea, Jenga is a popular game that has been with us for many generations. It is a form of game that is easy to play and requires some level of technique in there. For my idea, I thought about on top of the original game, I want to add another layer of fun to it. I want it to be more than just pulling a brick and placing it on top and repeating the process. I want to spice it up a little. So I thought about why not add an element of truth or dare to the original game. When the user pulls out a specific brick, they can scan it with their phone. The phone will generate a number for them. When they input that number into Arduino, a certain card will pop up. When the user clicks the card either a truth or a dare will pop out for them to do. I want to make this game more fun and interesting to play. Because although it may be thrilling to pull bricks and stack them, it would also be more interesting if for each brick they pull out a certain truth or dare question will pop up for them. I am just trying to add more fun to the already fun game. The project I hope to redefine Jenga for the old generation and update it so it doesn’t fall into the history of games. In this project, a lot of people have had contact with this, so I want to relive their first time playing this game.
Proposal 2: Protective Cube
Online security has always been an issue in the following era. Trying to keep your data online safe may be a tough task. So I wanted to cybersecurity tangible. So I thought about making an escape cube. So whenever you try to log into something very personal or top secret you would have to fully solve the cube. Each step after you solve it will have a corresponding question that pops up on the screen requiring you to answer. If you answered correctly, it will pop up a clue on how to solve the step of the cube. For people who just love to play with locks and cubes, this might be enjoyable for them. On the other hand, this device can act as protection for online users. As hackers now can not just hack the online portion they also need to solve the physical part of the lock. This project is mainly created to protect online users from having their own personal information leaked or even hacked.
Proposal 3: Mood Smoother
Everyone has one of those bad days that they just want to get over with. So my idea for this proposal is to create a project that detects the level of sadness you are in. It will detect the words you say to it and measure how sad you are. Then it will say some encouraging words to you. A stuffed animal will be there that you could hug and it will pat you. On the processing screen, it will also show something pretty that may help you calm down. Sometimes people do not want to tell others about what they are going through. This may be an alternative for helping them go through tuff times.
