Today I made an interactive bowl of party nutz, which shake and shout the closer you get. The ER was closed today, so here is a pic that I took last night of the prepared motors. I will take more and load them soon. These motors were then embedded in real peanut shells, fed through […]

Today was another work day, so I decided to do a short animation with AfterEffects. Since I have practically no experience with the program, I wanted to see if I could animate one of my favorite pictures ever. Here is my inspiration for Day #4 of 5-in-5:
I took this picture when some of […]

For Day#3, I tried a wearable, and almost made it to completion. I hit a snag at the very end when my Lilypad Arduino would not upload. I am going to continue debugging to try and figure out why it will not upload programs. I began by selecting a pattern and cutting it out and […]

Today I made the PCompatible Earrings, earrings made of physical computing parts. I wanted a short design exercise since I work today, so yesterday I made these sketches:
Ultimately, though, I let the components themselves dictate the design. I will let you see which parts you can identify. Here is the finished result:
Be […]

Here is a link to DAY 1 of the first ever ITP 5-in-5 Project. The premise is that all participants create 5 different projects each for 5 days! It is going to be AMAZING!

For our Sociable Objects class (Summer 2008-Professor Rob Faludi), Seungran Woo and I decided to create two interactive garments. Playing off of the idea that two women can never show up in a place wearing the same outfit, these outfits will detect when there is another identical garment nearby, “warn”/notify the user that this is […]

For Assignment #3, Steven and I recreated the game, “Rock, Paper, Scissors” using XBee radios. The game allowed two users to select from three switches (representing rock, paper and scissors, respectively) and reset the game. After selecting a choice, the choice would be displayed along with a light indicating if there was a winner or […]

For our 2nd assignment for “Sociable Objects”, Stella and I partnered together to glow leds wirelessly using potentiometers. We followed the schematic in Chapter 9 of “Making Things Talk” and also uploaded the code to our Arduinos. The only change to the code was that I switched the MY and destination addresses on […]

“The Welcome Robot” – Assignment #1 for Sociable Objects
For our first assignment for Sociable Objects, we had to assess a need on the ITP floor and build a small physical computing project to address that concern. I noticed that there are times when no one is at the front desk, so occasionally there is no […]
