build a circuit with two potentiometers and write an Arduino sketch that reads their values and sends them serially. Then, write a Processing sketch that draws a circle and reads those two analog values from Arduino. This sketch should modify the circle’s x and y values based on the input from Arduino. Just like an… Read more Recitation 8

CIRCLES This project is designed for kids in kindergarten. It aims at teaching kids the three-primary colors, as well as how to properly compete and cooperate with one another. We were inspired by both the exercise we did during the class, the one that has a circle bouncing around the screen; and the project mood… Read more Final Project:Project Proposal

A project with Processing for sound visualization is the first to serve as inspiration for my final project. That is a visualizer with lines extending from the center changing length based on musical input. I chose this project because this is an interactive one with Processing, which matches my interpretation of interaction. I think it… Read more Step 1: Preparatory Research and Analysis

CONTECT AND SIGNIFICANCE My Group Project is a robot that can detect your emotion and choose a suitable dance with you. I made an interactive artifact otherwise I wouldn’t figure out the definition of interaction: give specific feedback to different people. I researched a project mainly composed of a heartbeat sensor. It is aiming to… Read more Girltar-Tracy-Andy Garcia

Workout 1: Biceps Curls Me, Robbin and Elaine worked together. Poor Elaine, she is not in the dorm. And her Arduino is not working. So she helps to code and she made the circuits using her broken Arduino. // constants won’t change. They’re used here to set pin numbers: const int buttonPin = 6;    //… Read more Recitation5: Workout

Do-Re-Mi Our group’s idea is to use a distance sensor to make a kind of instrument that is controlled by distance.  You stand at different distances and the sensor will sense and make different tones. This instrument can interact with a few people simultaneously as they stand at different distances.

Step 1: Build the circuit void setup() {  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);  //pin 9 to the base of TIP122 } void loop() {  //turn transistor ON         digitalWrite(9, HIGH);  delay(1000);  //turn transistor OFF                                     digitalWrite(9, LOW);  delay(100); }     Step 2: Control rotation with a potentiometer /* * MotorKnob * * A stepper motor follows the… Read more Recitation 4: Drawing Machines

First, write about the idea your group focused on that fulfills the assigned criteria. Explain precisely how what your group invented derives from, responds to or relates, in some significant manner, to the established form of interaction you identified in your research of the two projects in the RESEARCH phase of the project. Provide idea sketches for your design… Read more Group Project
