In the first week’s assignment, we were asked to create geometry visualization with a certain level of complexity utilizing vectors and other basic math/geometry functions in p5js. I pictured a graph where random sparkling stars rotate and shrink at the same time, creating a neat and tidy picture, but at the same time, involves a… Read more W01 – Transformation and Vectors
The “Water & Heart” Mug CONCEPTION AND DESIGN: The concept of my project is based on the connection between people. In today’s society, the connection between people is getting weakened day by day. Factors like rapid technological development, quarantine, stress of life… What I try to emphasize in my project, is arousing the awareness of… Read more Final Project: Make, Present & Report
In this recitation, following the instructions in the guideline, I made an image in Processing that could change its color based on users’ interaction with the potentiometers in Arduino. I first built up the circuits that contained three potentiometers. Each of them controls one value of RGB (red, blue, green). Based on this circuits, I… Read more Recitation 10: Image & Video
Step 1: In step 1, I took the job of student A. I followed the instructions on the recitation guideline and I successfully made the models using laser cutting. My partner Vicky and I completed the design of the base first. Vicky had some issues with setting the default units and I helped her out.… Read more Recitation 9: Digital Fabrication
The “Water & Heart” mug The idea of this project originates from my mother. I have never been a person who would drink water very often, for which my mother used to spend a lot of time reminding me of drinking water. Meanwhile, I notice that in today’s society, the connection between people is getting… Read more Final Project: Essay
Task 1: In Task 1, we made a processing Etch-A-Sketch, the mechanism of which is basically to make drawings by using two controllers that controls the x and y coordinates of your pen. I first studied into the code of SendMultipleValues and ReceiveMultipleValues. After that, I grasped the rules for me to make serial communications.… Read more Recitation 8: Serial Communication
First: Hydration Reminder From the title, we could tell that it mainly contains two elements: “Hydration” and “Reminding”. The motivation for me coming up with this idea is that I am not a person who would like to drink water very usually, which my mother has often accused me of. In fact, there are a… Read more Final Project: Three Project Proposals
In this recitation, we successfully connected the Neopixel with Processing. First of all, I connected the Neopixel with Arduino, and tested whether it could work well. It worked well following the code that I uploaded into the Arduion board, blinking in the color of rainbow. Then we managed to light up some certain LED on… Read more Recitation 7: Neopixel Music Visualization
For the preparation for my final project, I did some further research on some previous projects I know about, and also made some reflections on the midterm project I did, based on the suggestions provided by my professor. The first research is called “MugShots” done by MIT media lab. This project, according to the description… Read more Final Project: Research
During this recitation, we managed to make an interactive poster for IMA. The theme of the poster I made was Sweet. I first thought about how to draw the background of the poster. For the background, I used a nested loop so that the circle pattern filled the entire frame. I defined three RGB variables… Read more Recitation 6: Animated Poster
