Unlock Nostalgia – Victoria Chen – Rudi With the preparatory research and the essay, I was able to understand that I want to base my final project around targeting depression and stress by creating the emotion of nostalgia. I was able to do research on various types of interactions the user could have with a … Continue reading Final Project Report

Building the circuit With the help of past experience, the arduino circuit was quickly set up as the first step. Finding the video I wanted to practice some of the video editing functions, so I went back to review the slides, and figured out how to control the speed of my selected video: getting a … Continue reading Recitation 10 Documentation

Step 1: During this step, I took on the task of student B. I followed each step on the recitation site and completed the base design along with my partner. He had some trouble with the sizing, so I helped him, and he helped me with the unit conversion. Later on, I experimented with the … Continue reading Recitation 9 Documentation

Serial Communication Task #1 My process throughout the coding went really well. I first set of the breadboard and arduino, which went smoothly due to the experience gained since the beginning of the semester. I had a few problems with the code in terms of receiving information from arduino to processing, but with the help … Continue reading Recitation 8 Documentation

“The Ice-Cream Truck’s Here!” In today’s society, there are many teenagers who face the mental illness, depression. Due to factors like family disputes and educational stress, it is hard for them to avoid feeling depressed or anxious. Many times, happy memories can produce temporary happiness or hope for their future. Therefore, this project aims to … Continue reading Final Project Proposal Essay

Project 1: Exploring Childhood This project targets mental health, specifically depression. Many times, a person’s childhood is full of happy memories or feelings of nostalgia. This project incorporates the childhood etch-a-sketch, computer maze game, and led outlines of shapes. It connects these existing forms of games into one in order to maximize the interactivity as … Continue reading Three Project Proposals

Task #1: Test the neopixel I put together the Arduino according to the picture given on the recitation web page. By doing so, I then downloaded the required libraries and tested out my LED strip. The code is programmed to light up 60 lights, but to avoid burning out the LED and arduino, I changed … Continue reading Recitation 7: Neopixel Music Visualization Documentation

Preparatory Research and Analysis The two projects that I found both share a commonality: LED lights. The first project is an LED lamp that displays a 3D image. The user who purchases this lamp is able to watch the 3D shape as well as control the color of it. The interaction is based on what … Continue reading Final Project: Preparatory Research and Analysis

Interactive Poster Video and Code: PFont myFont; void setup(){ size(1024,768); background(215); strokeWeight(2); } int valueR=11; int valueG=151; int valueB=255; void draw(){ for(int y=0; y<height; y=y+100){   for(int x=0; x<width; x=x+100){     fill(255, 251,0);     stroke(0);     ellipse(x,y,70,80);     fill(valueR,valueG,valueB);     stroke(0);     rect(x-35,y+5,70,35);     fill(255);     strokeWeight(7);     stroke(190);     ellipse(x,y-10,30,30);     fill(0);     stroke(0);     ellipse(x,y-10,5,5);   } } fill(240); stroke(random(255), random(255), random(255)); triangle(212, 340, 512, 90, 812, 340); … Continue reading Recitation 6: Animating an Interactive Poster

My picture: The reason why I chose this picture was because I am able to see the distinct shapes that I could program within the details of the image. The picture is also from a clothing piece of a brand I like, Moncler, and the editing of my dumpling plushie from my friend. I planned … Continue reading Recitation 5: Processing Basics
