1, 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 reflecting floor published by the “visualcraft” also gives me the idea of blending colors of each circle. We think the challenges may be that the switch of two mode as well as the connection of multiple sensors.
2, Etch-B-sketch
This is designed for people in all age and train their drawing skills as well as memory. This is inspired by the project “Etch-A- Sketch”, and it adopt the similar way of drawing like Etch_A_Sketch, switching the potentiometers, the processing will show a graph for 10s, and then the player will need to draw it. The challenge we think will be how to make the definition of a successful drawing and an unsuccessful one.
3, Seeound
The specific audience is people with hearing impairments. This blog gave me the inspiration of this design choice that we can enable those special populations to “see” the sound. We decided to use processing to create a image that can change according to music pitch. And some LEDs can light according to the rhythm. It can help people with hearing impairments to see the shake of sound and how can we hear the sound, how does sound compose. When they use this project, it helps them learn how to live more vibrantly. It is the way they fuel their body, mind and spirit.
