Instruction : https://wp.nyu.edu/shanghai-ima-interaction-lab/recitation-7-neopixel-music-visualizer/ I built the circuit just as what we did in the lecture and My led could not blink after the sample code uploaded. I asked an LA and it worked. Then I downloaded the SerialRecord liberary and the Arduino Sample code. After reading the code and the instruction, I understood that the board will receive four parameters from the Serial and change the LED's state accordingly. So I can change the LED if I input the data correctly in Serial. Then I downloaded the SerialRecorder … [Read more...] about Recitation7: Documentation

PREPARATORY RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS
In his ariticle Art Interaction and Engage, artist Ernest Edmends first categorized artworks into four: "Static", "Dynamic Passive", "Dynamic Interactive", and "Dynamic Interactive(Varying)" to differentiate the relationships between the influence artworks' inner machanism and user input cast on the art effect. The last two categories are about human engaging, which I focus on. For "Dynamic Interactive", the design will respond the same if the input of user is same, while for "dynamic interactive(varying)", the design will respond differently according to environment elements like temperature … [Read more...] about PREPARATORY RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS

Animating an Interactive Poster Instruction: https://wp.nyu.edu/shanghai-ima-interaction-lab/recitation-6-interactive-poster/ Today's recitation asked us to create an animated poster which is constituded by a fixed pattern. Pattern It required us to come up with a pattern and used nested for loops to display it on the whole canvus repeatedly. I got an idea from this picture, whose interactive effects were I wanted to implement later. I grabed the idea of circular movement and designed two circular orbit with two circle on it. Multiplication Instead of manually … [Read more...] about Recitation6: Documentation

Instruction: https://wp.nyu.edu/shanghai-ima-interaction-lab/recitation-5-processing-basics-2/ Photo: I took this photo last year when I was waiting for a PCR test at Lujiazui, February, 2022. There are hundreds of people standing in the chilly wind in one of the most prosperous districts in Shanghai. No one could have predicted what happended later, the 2022 pandemic outbreak. I Selected this photo because right now queuing for a PCR test has become a social phenomenon and this photo hightlights the contradiction between people and building s, light and shadow, and most … [Read more...] about Recitation5: Documentation
Boundaries Crossing-Jinhong Xia-Prof. Margaret Minskey
Project Title: Boundaries Crossing Artist: Andy Ye & Jason Xia Instructor: Margaret Minsky Concept: All along the learning experience, I've been examining the multi-senses embeded in the interactive process. Interaction concludes input and output. Another sense taking part in will add a new dimension to the process. In my group research project, our "stepping stone" robot detects the inner silicon rate, patients' behavior and responds with programmed languages. In the midterm project, we created a traffic light system adding sound signals to the traffic light messages … [Read more...] about Boundaries Crossing-Jinhong Xia-Prof. Margaret Minskey

instruction:https://wp.nyu.edu/shanghai-ima-interaction-lab/recitation-4-actuators-and-mechanisms/ The project required us to build a machine using a stepper motor and its accessories to achieve a mechanism movement. I worked in pair with Andy. We devided our tasks. Andy built the circuit and I did the cardboard cutting and assembling. I first glued the blueprint to the cardboard, and cut the cardboard according to the lines. Putting the ruler at some angles to the right arm will cut a straight line closely aligned to the ruler. Sometimes the line is very close to the margin of the … [Read more...] about Recitation4: Documentation
