Loneliness Killa-Ragnor Wu-Rodolfo Cossovich Our project is called “Loneliness Killa”, a communication aiding artifact that help one user convey primitive emotions and signals to the other user. CONTEXT AND SIGNIFICANCE Our previous research in the Group Project inspires my midterm project a lot. For example, one project I did research on, called “The Table” made… Read more Midterm Project

In this week’s recitation, we built a device that moves back and forth, similar to the piston of a car cylinder. We first studied the construction of the circuit. This circuit uses h-bridge, stepper motor and an external 12v power supply, so it is a relatively complex circuit. After carefully checking and connecting, we successfully… Read more Recitation 4: Actuators & Mechanisms

Loneliness Killa-Ragnor Wu-Rodolfo Cossovich This is a communication auxiliary artifact, which works privately between two people, connecting people on both sides in a humane, warm way, through heartbeat visualization, neon light patterns and also music player. It focuses on the social problems in modern society, that the vast development has caused modern people to have… Read more Midterm Project Individual Proposal

Project Description Prototyping Discussion Shortly after the result of the group assignment came out, our group members first met up together. We had a short group discussion together, to set up a general project direction which we may start from. The brainstorm brought us many ideas. Taking a few as examples, we had sleeping aid… Read more Group Research Project

In this recitation, we built an interactive device that simulates biceps bending.  Step 1: Firstly, we made an artifact by soldering the sensor with two long wires. Then, following the guidelines, we built up the circuits quickly. The circuits could read the status of the sensor as input and transmits them into my laptop. Step… Read more Recitation 3: Workout
