Debriefing: the first three circuit building was going smoothly with the provided code and design. However, when doing the fourth one, we began with the mistake of wrong plugging of LED, – one of them was connected in the opposite direction, partly because of our messy connection. After fixing the circuit, it was still not working as suggested in the video above. With the instructions from fellows, we went back to examine the coding, although we couldn’t finish fixing the code on time. We realized it was the problem at setting the conditions since we simply copy-pasted the code for circuit 3, so it didn’t stand.
Question 1:
The article mentions an interesting phenomenon of how computers see us, mostly from the sense of touching, hearing, and sight. In this case, it is because our interaction with computers is tied with touching and reading. Speaking is gradually becoming more important in our interaction with computers. I would argue that the interaction today we are having to a certain extent is limited by how technology functions. If we look at the circuits, the input is only touching, and the output is both from sound and lights. In this interaction, we are limited to the compacity and design of circuits. However, we can also see that the interaction may not only involve one or two forms of senses, with the development of technology, we may also be able to see interactions involving all forms of human senses. Like 4D movies, and VR games. In the future, we may be able to see interaction involving brain wave, and we shall not limit our imagination in thinking about forms of interaction.
Question 2:
I would like to lay it out on a massive board on century ave. and makes it like a TV screen broadcasting the events and interesting stuff going on on campus. The information presented varies based on a weekly change on the display of the colors.
