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

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

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
