The user can view an interactive image gallery with Kinect.
The process of viewing photographs was an experience that I wanted to recreate. P(img) is an interactive image gallery in which the audience can explore photographs on a deeper level through physical movements with Kinect.

"Spiritual Ritual by Physical Computing, For You, the Bell Tolls." Whisper your sadness to this bell, and the bell will toll for you.
I am currently working on an Interactive Asian temple bell to try to console people who are suffering from the sadness. Using Physical Computing, Processing and SuperCollider(Sound programming language), the interactive Asian temple bell will generate personalized bell sound with distorting voice and visuals based on each participant's voice. I hope this interactive spiritual behavior of 'bell-striking' and personalized bell sound can console people’s sadness from loss or anxiety, as a 'healing process'.
*Audience's participation process would be
1) whisper to the bell about her or his personal sadness
2) Strike the bell three times
3) Listen to the three different sounds from the bell(Considering interactive graphical projection responding to the sounds)
*Current Status
– Prototyping for the Physical Computing class final presentation is completed(December 3, 2014). Documentation for the project will be updated on my ITP Blog Website by this Friday(December 5, 2014. @ http://www.changyeonlee.com/physical-computing/2014/10/21/introduction-to-physical-computing-final-project-ideation)
– Bell's design and fabrication would be developed(size of the bell would be adjusted to the Winter Show's venue condition)
* Format
– Physical installation of Asian Temple Bell figure + Bell Striking Stick(reference images are on my ITP blog as above)

Moon Phases is a project in which users can input a date and they are able to see the moon’s phase of the date through a physical installation and computer screen, which is both educational and poetic.

Moon Phases is a project in which users can input a date and they are able to see the moon’s phase of the date through a physical installation and computer screen, which is both educational and poetic.
The center of the installation is a 4’’ moon sphere made by cement. At the outer circle of the moon sphere, there is a flashlight connected with the gear under the surface, which affects the changing of the moon’s phase.
Users are able to see the corresponding moon phase while inputing the date through three knobs(which stands for year, month and day respectively) on the panel. Also, there is a row of 8×8 LED matrix that displays the date that was input.
On the surface of the project, there are laser etched related informations – lunar month and names of the moon phase.
We think the changing process of the moon phase is beautiful logically and aesthetically. It is not only reflected in the complicated astronomy system and the passage of time, but also in the interpretation of human beings. For example, in my country China, there are a lot Chinese ancient poems about moon and moon phases. We were thinking about adding some specific cultural meaning to it. But we decided to do without it, because we do not want to limit the context and the imagination of viewer, especially those who do not come from the culture we present.
We want to create a experience of crossing the time and space dimensions for viewers through a easy interaction(three knobs). At the same time, inspire the viewer to think of the time, the world and universe that we live in.

Missy is a physical smart photo frame that reminds users to contact their loved ones in different cities.
{We want to tackle the communication problems between family members}
*/What problem are we solving? /*
Grow up in Asian family; we are not used to express love to our family member. Relationships between family members grow apart because of bad communications.
*/What is our solution/*
Reconcile the relationship of family members by hacking communication technology. The smart photo frame will remind user to call their loved ones by gradually opaque the photo using micro-controller and switchable Glass.

Visitors are invited to collaborate by painting our skin texture for our 3D self portrait.
http://itp.animishmish.com/itp/2014/10/27/collaborative-self-portraits/
Skin Deep is a series of collaborative self-portraits that treats the body as a canvas for 3D drawing. It is an exploration of a new kind of drawing format, where the artists are 3D-scanned, producing a mesh of their bodies and texture maps of their skin from all angles. The viewers are invited to color the textures on paper which are then reassembled and projected live onto the 3D meshes, creating a final composition defined by both the observer and the artists.
