For my final project, I attempted to create a telescope that transports the user to a new land and soundscape. This project stems from a personal investigation of what it means to explore. When archeologists sink a trowel in the

Media Controller: Brainstorm
Kate Tibbetts, Robbie Tilton and I began the brainstorming process for the media controller with great enthusiasm. There was no shortage of ideas. Relatively early in the process we decided that we wanted to develop a project around the concept

I haven’t been vigilant about posting PComp labs. They have been entertaining recently–offering buzzing noises that send phantom phone ring responses throughout the shop. The transistor lab: The h-bridge lab: The biggest issue I had with the lab was with

Spiderman Meets Multiple Serial Out
Two flex sensors and a switch make spiderman zoom around the city. Yes, it would make more sense with Superman and a better looking city. Think of this as a prototype. And the code: import processing.serial.*; Serial myPort; float switchSpidey=

Self-Checked
Self-checkout aisles popped up in stores well over five years ago, and yet every experience I’ve witnessed with them has been more cumbersome than a regular checkout experience. These systems have clearly been thought about, but there are certain basic

Universal vs. Flexible Design
Being able to pick up a cell phone or someone else’s ipod and use it without learning a system or reading a manual is useful. And yet, I resist something about the notion of designing for all. A learning curve

Song and Dance Arduino-style
The labs this week were useful for many a pet trick, and particularly enjoyable because sound and movement are fun to play with in addition to blinking lights. The coding isn’t intuitive yet, but it is getting easier to understand

Stupid Pet Trick: Bows, Arrows, Lasers
For my stupid pet trick I decided to build a bow and arrow that uses a laser and photo sensors to detect a bullseye rather than a standard arrow. The system has a few kinks, but it works! The concept:
