Project Title: Global Experience Artist: Andy Ye & Jason Xia Instructor: Margaret Minsky Concept: This time we want to design a project which users can have an immersive to the users. Firstly, we want to build a equippment that can allow an object to move freely on a surface. We drew the draft and the blue print and found 3D models on the internet. We all agreed that achieving a free movement physically was great. In Midterm project, we simulate linear movement, and now was the best time to practice movement on a plain. The next step was to think about how to embed an … [Read more...] about Global Experience-Jason Xia&Andy Ye-Professor Margaret Minskey

Recitation10: Documentation
This recitation asked us to build a project which uses physical controller to manipulate a video. Instruction: https://wp.nyu.edu/shanghai-ima-interaction-lab/recitation-10-image-video/ I decided to focus on the .jump() and .pause() functions, which can generate an interaction effect that when users press the button, the video would pause, during which users can control the potentiometer and travel the frames of the video. Step1: Arduino Circuit and Codes: The Arduino should send the state of button and potentiometer via SerialPort to the computer. All the big button were … [Read more...] about Recitation10: Documentation
Recitation9: Documentation
instruction: https://wp.nyu.edu/shanghai-ima-interaction-lab/recitation-9-digital-fabrication/ Our task is to make an equipment in which a servo rotates one acrylic plate with the other acrylic plate fixed on the pedestal. We will design two acrylic plates, two pieces of wood and laser cut them. Task1 Measure and Design: I worked with Andy. I read the data of outline of servo and told it to Andy and Andy designed it in cuttle. I also designed one part of the pedestal: Task2 Design the pattern: Now Andy and I need to design a circular pattern seperately to generate an … [Read more...] about Recitation9: Documentation
Research Essay
Project Title: NOWhere to Adventure Prologue: My partner Andy and I are still discussing about our projects' idea and interactive design. Hetherto we have different idea and target for our design. Most of the idea are TBD. Project Statement of Purpose: I still remembered when I visited the IMA final show in 2021 fall and amazed at those fascinating design. I was a freshmen who graduated from high school, finished Gaokao and took three core courses and one CS intro course in the first semester, thinking that CS major might be the only path in my undergraduate study. the IMA final … [Read more...] about Research Essay
Recitation8 Documentation
Instruction: https://wp.nyu.edu/shanghai-ima-interaction-lab/recitation-8-serial-communication-2/ The recitation asked us to make two design which required commnucation between Arduino and Processing using Serial. The first project asked us to use two potentiometers' value to draw picture on Processing. I built the circuit and wrote the Arduino code which can get value of potentiometers and send the value in serial using serialrecord library and tested: #include "SerialRecord.h" SerialRecord writer(2); void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: … [Read more...] about Recitation8 Documentation
THREE PROJECT PROPOSALS
I developed three topics for my final project, which are reality improvement, grid game, and class content development. Reality Improvement: Title: Auto-PCR Test Machine Andy and I came up with this idea when we are brainstorming our midterm project. We thought that it required more skills so we postponed it to our final. The idea is to simulate the repeaded and uncomfortable labour of testing using machanism. I designed to use Arduino for machanism and Processing animation for instructions. The difficult part is to put every step into a loop. The difficulty waiting to be solve is how … [Read more...] about THREE PROJECT PROPOSALS
