Final Project I
So, I’ve been thinking about my final project for PCOMP. While I originally imagined a grid that would hang from the ceiling, projecting light on the floor with a series of physical pixels I’ve started to shift my thinking towards…

Analog Lab
This lab was pretty straightforward. LEDs measure the amount of pressure being put on the sensor. I modified the code a little for 3 LEDs and made it possible for all LEDs to turn off when no pressure is applied.

Sensor Walk
I took a short walk from the front door of my workplace through my office area:
At the front door there is an rfid reader for our ID cards which operates entry “gates.”
The gates that open have some sort of proximity…
Pixel Wall
My fantasy object is a pixel wall. I’ve always wanted a pixel wall. Something that could go transparent/opaque or emit light with a mechanical switching component. I spend a lot of time indoors, and more often then not, in a…
Labs – Week 3
I wanted to expand on the water switch for this lab but met with limited success.
Idea: Water fills up a vessel and “switches” on circuits for LEDs as it goes. The Arduino records the timestamps for the “switches” flipping and…
Labs – Week 2
Water switch. Water + electricity scares me so I decided to use it to complete the circuit in a controlled way.
The Art of Interactive Design
“What is physical interaction?”
Basic physical interaction is the process by which an input from the physical world (light, sound, touch, temperature, etc.) is received, interpreted, and acted upon by another agent.
Good physical interaction starts with basic interaction, but with…
