          <description>What people need.
WEEK 1

Koo
Dan, Mike C

Eunyoung
Leo
some one who has been used 'ShiftBrite','WiShield','adhoc' - I need basic concept and usage. ----&gt;(Leo)
basic code with controlling channel(16)
laser cutting tips
Suzanne
Ivana, Mike R
Test reflective yarn and 3M strip for effectiveness (good reflectivity!). Align strips side-by-side (tape) and use car lights or lighting kit from ER to test in dark spaces.  Document, take photos, and provide summary of test. [2-3 people]
Sketch designs by hand, or in Illustrator. Look at Suzanne's blog post for current ideas and descriptions. [2-3 people]
Research a few stores online who sell *cheap* ski goggle lenses (mirror effect where you can see out, but people can't see in), document price, shipping and delivery time. [1 person]
Draft mechanical system for pull-cords, movable flaps, and cinchable garment pieces. [2-3 people]
Draft inquiry to manufacturers from Material ConneXion, asking for samples of materials. [1 person]
Eszter
Aiwen, MZD
conductive ink/resistive ink
thermochromatic ink
wifly + arduino
build SYMBIOSISI
WEEK 2

Alex's Blog / Vlox
Collaborating with Jaewook Shin to re-imagine the way kids with blocks by marrying physical and virtual play patterns into a complete working system. We hope to allow children to build and create in physical space, and then to be able to play with and explore their creations in an interactive virtual environment.

          <description>Project Development Studio: Physical Interaction
Spring 2011
Instructor: Tom IgoeWed, 3:30 PM - 6 PM


This course is an environment for students to work on project ideas that may fall outside the topic areas of existing classes. This particular studio is focused on projects involving extended physical interaction. Students are expected to present a project description on the first day of class. They work together with the class and the instructor to develop a production plan for their project. Weekly class meetings consist of critique and feedback sessions on individual and group projects, and breakout sessions with students working individually or in groups with people working on similar projects. As technical topics of general interest emerge, the instructor takes class time to cover them. Students are expected to show their projects multiple times during the semester, test the projects in stages, and get feedback from both class members in class and from the audience for whom their projects are intended, outside of class.

The focus of the studio is on physical interaction: namely, what does the person experiencing your work do, and what does the work do in response?  If the answer is "Nothing, they just watch", or "the work doesn't respond," then there is no interaction. Much of the discussion about projects will focus on this. 

If you are working on your project for this class as part of another class as well, you will still be expected to meet the schedule and the goals and focus of this class in your work.

Class 1: Jan 26
Introductions, speed dating style. Everyone will explain their project to everyone else in 2-3 minute chunks. Then we'll introduce each other's projects to the class, also in 2-3 minute chunks.

Assignments:
Take notes on the introduction, prepare a correction for next week.
Sign up for two days of [[http://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/Policy/Cleanup|sho
