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 […]

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 […]

Thursday (May 22), I spent the morning soldering male and female headers to my XBee breakout board. I used the picture at
Sparkfun (3rd picture) to make sure that I soldered female headers on the 2 out rows (on the side which is printed with pin numbers) and I soldered male headers on the 2 inner […]

Writing has become an extension of human consciousness, and it is Mark Weiser’s goal that ubiquitous computing, the seamless integration of computers […]
