Keep playing games with my heart(beat)

Inessah and I continued using the heart rate monitor and wanted to see if you can train yourself to be more calm during presentations. We thought it would be perfect to test out during midterm presentations.

 

Inessah:

I was really nervous about midterm presentations and wasn’t sure if having a device strapped [...]

closer to home

Inspired by the discussions surrounding guns violence in the US and the idea that if people had a greater empathy for the victims of gun violence whose stories appear in the news, we decided to create a tactile way of bringing the impact of gun violence closer to home.

Self Geiger Counter – Completely new direction

During the last week I’ve been challenged with the idea of a radiation treatment coming up as the second leg of my recovery from thyroid cancer. I have been trying to come up with different ways to cop with this idea but then it occurred to me that maybe this was a great opportunity for [...]

Calm before the final

We’ve talked a lot about anxiety reduction techniques.  For the final, I would like to make a relaxation device (working title ‘PaZuZu’) to combine the effects a pet might have to reduce a racing pulse.  Thus:

Pulse sensor (light + light sensor separated by thin skin)

Visual Diary: Final Project Proposal

For our final project, I was a bit torn with feeling like I needed to do something in the P-comp vein. But, quite honestly, I just haven’t been able to come up with any solid ideas that involve my building something electronic. ​
