Play with your friends with a Buddy Pod remote controlled with your hand!

A Pod Brawler is an RC vehicle that you can drive wirelessly using a glove. This glove gives you the power to accelerate, steer and go backwards.
The objective of this project is to explore electronic vehicles as extensions of our bodies. Based on popular references like Real Steel movie, Pokemon animated series, Neon Genesis Evangelion anime and Power Rangers series, people always dreamed of extending and intensifying their wills beyond their own bodies.
Because of current technology, we can manifest ourselves in the physical world without the dangers involving this exposure: physical damage, exhaust, or even death. In fact, throughout the years we have already replaced people with machines in the most dangerously jobs: assembly lines, mine detecting, going to Mars, etc.
With Pod Brawler, I hope to get an emphatic bond between the user and his pod, resulted from the intimate interaction both of them.
The pod consists of an Arduino and a motor driver shield, 2 DC motors, an LED screen for showing the remaining stamina and an Xbee module for wireless serial communication.
The glove has an Adafruit FLORA, a 9-DOF breakout (accelerometer,gyroscope and magnetometer), 2 flex sensors for controlling acceleration and an Xbee module as well.

#ferguson is an interactive sculpture piece about the collective responsibility and accountability of racism/violence in America. In order to see the animation (in the zoetrope) you must pull the trigger (the gun is a switch). The animation is a Black boy being shot. I want to bring awareness to the idea of a collective hand.

A Study of Sacred Geometry and Kinetic, Architectural Landscapes.
http://aspaceforsound.com/blog/itp-winter-show-2014-gl-geo-luminosity/
[GL]: Geo Luminosity is a study of sacred geometry, light and layered space. In the form of four shadowboxes, the focus is to transform a space and through a user controlled interaction through the illumination of negative space. Internal gear systems allow users to alter patterns of light, through kinetic movement. Created with digitally fabricated designs and 3D rendering, ‘[GL]’ utilizes traditional, manual fabrication, the CNC router and the laser cutter to create layers of space and light.

A physical weather board that visually shows the current temperature with different LED colors and moving pixels. The user can interact with the board by turning the clock hand to make it show the weather condition at a later time.
http://www.aboutboram.com/?cat=5
The idea of Weather Now and Later first came up, as I wanted to build something that the user can quickly see before heading outside, to check the current weather condition. The concept has become more artistic since the initial stage.
This 22″x 14″ board uses different colored LEDs – red, yellow and blue, behind a translucent acrylic to give off different mood color corresponding with the current temperature. On the acrylic board, there will be pixels that move forward and backward to represent digits and show the temperature readings. There are many servomotors used to move each pixel. A stepper motor is be used to show the needle representing the current time under temperature digits, which the user can turn to check the weather condition for a later time during the day. After showing the temperature for 30 seconds, the clock needle turns back to the current time and moving pixels and LED colors change back as well to the temperature at current state. The user will not be able to see the complicated wiring of all the LEDs, as they will be hidden inside a wooden box. However they will be able to see how the motor turns and moves the pixels at the back.
Yahoo Weather API from Processing will be used to send the current temperature and weather condition to Arduino, which will tell the board what to change. The current temperature is set to New York, but can be manually changed to different parts of the world if needed. The temperature is shown in Celsius, and during the Winter Show, I can imagine the board lit with blue colored LEDs to show that it is cold outside, and a negative digit temperature reading.

A lamp that lets you know when someone is coming home.
http://http://batusayici.com/?p=506
If your home could sense the physical proximity of those who live in it, how would it communicate this knowledge? Through which form would this knowledge be best represented in a way that is natural and enjoyable?
Light changes space more than anything. Light fills the space and its presence or lack thereof is impossible to ignore. The only thing that changes space as much is people. People and light complete a space in ways nothing else can.
Igloo is a lamp that connects to one or more persons' phone GPS and represents their proximity as light.

A kinect project combining both music visualization and musical instrument characters
This is a kinect project combining the characters from both music visualizer and music instrument. It is ideally to be put into museum for the users to do creative interaction with this music project. The vimeo is from 2 weeks ago and the final version was done already which i have not yet uploade.
In the final version, user can also generate musical note(in a harmonic scale) when they move their hand fast to touch the partices.
This project only requires a small space and a bigger LED or projector. I will uploaded a video introducing the final version soon but it might be after the deadline.
You can see a rough outline of my project in thevimro link above.

"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)

Mix animal DNA to generate music and meaty 3D models.
http://therewasaguy.github.io/myoblaster/
MyoBlaster is a website that generates music and visual models from the cDNA sequence of myoblasts.
Myoblasts are undifferentiated cells primed to generate Myosin, a type of protein that is specific to muscle cells.
Meat is mostly muscle. So myoblasts play a major role in the creation of all meat.
It is possible to extract myoblasts from a living animal, and place them in a context where it will continue generating muscle cells outside of the body. This is important to regenerative medicine, and also allows us to engineer “victimless meat.”
Inspired by this process, I will give people the ability to mix myoblasts from different animals together to create music and visuals. For example, the Cattle myoblast can be used to determine the melodic sequence, while the Wild Boar controls percussion. The physical objects are arranged on a table, helping make the process tangible. Each dish also corresponds with a 3D model of an animal or slice of meat, which draws one point at a time, in time with the music sequence. When different myoblasts are combined, it morphs the resulting meat model.
The actual process for Engineering Comestible Meat was patented last year by the Brooklyn-based company who is closest to bringing Cultured Meat to market. With MyoBlaster, you can synthesize music and meat-inspired 3D models from the same animals mentioned in that patent.
