  * A flow of positive charges gives the electric current, and has the same effect in a circuit, as an equal flow of negative charges in the opposite direction. Since current can be the flow of either positive or negative

[Pcom] Visualize Sound Frequency Captured By 2 Microphones

This is the frequency visualization of the sound captured by 2 self-built electret microphones. The 2 lines of bars show the frequency of sound coming from 2 microphones. The original example acquire analog signal from A0 of Arduino, and Serial

Visualize Conversation

This idea came from my own experience here in ITP. We talk every day, about projects, ideas, technologies, arts and life. Even with different culture backgrounds, we can always understand each others. I felt strong sense of culture fusion rather

[note] Electret Condenser Microphone

I may use a electret condenser microphone for my final project. Here is an introduction from what I learned today. Below is a typical electret microphone preamp circuit. The resistor (I use 10k) sets the gain and output impedance. The

Hello Nature

[img: the concept] Idea: speech –> animal – pitch –> different animal – duration –> different size of animal Difficulties: – more than 1 person speak –> using mic? – animal grows bigger when speaking Related idea: movement –> animal

Smart Poster

Idea: – Smart poster –> assistive device Inspiration: [img: a problem in daily life: attractive & informative ] [img: fractal]  [img: smart poster concept]   – a poster can change content based on the distance between it and the viewer

Bronze Rhythm

Idea: – Bronze Rhythm –>musical instrument Inspirations: – Bronze represents the strength and beauty of Chinese culture. [img: traditional Chinese bronze // Bronze is a language] [video: 1600 BC, bronze bells music, 2:15] [img: bronze bell + alphabet] [img: bronze alphabet

Mirror Mirror Tell Me Weather

Inspirations: [img: Rippl Lazarine, in front of the Mirror] [img: cat, curious] [img: illustrator] + : – camera? Kinect? – processing – large screen Difficulties: - recognize body – weather || environment data –> image
