“Observation. Pick a piece of interactive technology in public, used by multiple people. Write down your assumptions as to how it’s used, and describe the context in which it’s being used. Watch people use it, preferably without them knowing they’re … Continue reading →

For this Columbus Holidays I did the Serial output Lab. I started uploading the code to the board, which enables to communicate Arduino through the serial port with the computer, so we can get (in this case) the resistance values. … Continue reading →

Written Assignment I .Visit MOMA’s exhibition: Talk to Me, read  Chris Crawfoard’s The Art of Interactive Design (chapters 1 and 2) and answer the following questions: How would you define physical interaction?  What makes for good physical  interaction?  Are there works … Continue reading →

Blinken LEDs This is the first assignment. I worked with an Arduino Diecimila,  UNO’s grandmother. I tried several times to make the light turn on and off, but I took me a while to achieve the goal. Finally I realize … Continue reading →

Analog In with an Arduino I did four AnalogIn experiences:   With a Photocell, Thermistor, Potentiometer and a Flex.       Here are the results: –Potentiometer– const int ledPin = 9; int analogValue = 0; //value read from the … Continue reading →

Fantasy Device Thinking about my fantasy device I came up with many ideas, but for this assignment I only have to choose one, so this was the winner: ((( The transportable (and affordable) noise blocker for Cities that Never Sleep ))) As … Continue reading →

Interactive devices in everyday life As a second assignment we had to follow the these instructions: “Sensor walk. Take a walk around your neighborhood, or a different one. Take a count of every interaction with a sensor you see. These … Continue reading →

Week 3 assignment: Lab-Electronics This week we had to test some electronic setups as seen on 3rd week Syllabus. I practiced with the multimeter, and understand all its functions through many kinds of switches (on/off switches and variable resistors). I also … Continue reading →

Stupid Pet Trick For my stupid Pet Trick I chose to keep trying with my music box. At the beginning I made some sketches to organize my ideas. The main point was to figure out how to turn the little … Continue reading →
