FINAL PROJECT:THREE PROJECT PROPOSALS

Project 1: Heart Rate Visualizer 

I want to display a heart rate screen on processing. This screen will be connected to a wrist band that can detect you pulse, which will send signals to the screen. This will create tall red peaks for fast heart beats and more blue horizontal lines for slow beats. For example, when the user is running in place or doing jumping jacks, his/her heartbeat will speed up.

Project 2: Ping Pong 

This project will allow two players to play ping pong virtually. A controller will be created for each person to allow the to change the position on the ping pong paddle. This game could be used by anyone whether you like to be active or you, hence you can play while sitting or standing.

Project 3: Musical 

This project allows users to see a visual representation of music. Users will be given a microphone, where they can sing or play music to visualize the sound through a graphic equalizer. The screen will display pink graphics for a high pitched voice and blue for a lower pitched voice.

Project 4: Stress Relieving Punching Bag 

Users will be given a punching glove connect to an accelerometer. This will be connected to the object on the screen that takes a certain strength or speed to break with a punch or several punches. We will find a range that is equivalent to a certain number of punches. This is a good way to allow people to relieve stress without a punch bag or stress relieving objects.
