Description

The new normal brought about by COVID-19 includes contactless/touchless interaction and an abundance of hand sanitizers everywhere. Sense dispenser fuses these two aspects of the “new normal” into an interactive experience that aims to raise awareness about COVID-19 and some of its effects on society. Sense dispenser delivers this awareness to users when they go to take some sanitizer from a dispenser and end up not receiving anything. The failure to meet the user's need for sanitizer in that moment catches the attention of the user. The screen then shows the user a fact about COVID-19, a fact about hand hygiene, or informs the users about an effect COVID-19 has on society.

Description

While user is working out on the treadmill, they can choose to exercise either by the lake or in the woods. They can make a choice on the treadmill panel in the starting page of my project. The user holds a device on their hand to detect whether he/she is walking or running. An accelerometer is placed in the device to test how fast the user is waving his/ her arm. If the devise decided that the user is walking, it will switch to the walking mode and the virtual scenery will play at a slower speed. If the devise decided that the user is running, it will switch to the running mode and the virtual scenery will play at a faster speed. If the user decided to change a location to run, they can press the return button and go back to the starting page to choose a new location.

Description

Racing Motorcycle is a game that aims to provide users an interesting interactive experience. Wearing a special helmet, users could control the motorcycle on the screen by tipping their heads to avoid the obstacles on the road and gain scores.

The project is based on the race games on the phone, where we turn the phone to control the direction of a car. However, Racing Motorcycle applies a new way of interaction. Controlling the motorcycle by tipping the head imitates the true situation when a motorcycle driver tips his body to change the direction. The design also makes the experience more interesting and unique.

Rules:

– Tip your head to left, right or upright direction to control the motorcycle and avoid the obstacles.

– Stay your head tipped to keep the motorcycle running in a certain lane.

– The longer you go through, the higher score you will get.

Description

This is a robot hand which can go through extreme geographical situations and rescue people or does other tough tasks which human are not able to get access in person.

To make the hand mimic the human biological movement, there will be a receiving arm ties to the user’s arm and send the joint move and the grip pressure to the computer. There will also be an acting arm made of special materials that can get through all kinds of tough situations and do the task on the scene. The acting arm will also and has a camera attached sending the real-time video to the computer. The computer will show the current scene of the acting arm to the user, the user can adjust their following movement according to the real-time reflection.

However, in this project, I am not going to build an acting arm, but I will show the corresponding scene by sketching it out by Processing.
