Wish Candles transformed a common, real-life ritual into an interactive digital experience. The user journey starts with lighting an electronic match by striking it on a match box. Then the user can light candles using the match’s light and blow them out making a wish. Although the candles are made with LED bulbs, they […]
Due to the much earlier ICM final presentation, software development was almost done last week and I concentrated on the hardware development this week. The goals I’ve achieved so far are like below: Implemented multiplexers so that more than 30 LEDs can be manipulated individually Developed flicking reactions of the LEDs so that they more […]
Repeating to change our project idea and fail to find the one what we all agree with, our team decided to split into two. So Maria and I are still in the same team and Joohyun does his individual project. Maria and I also determined to improve my midterm project rather than doing an entirely […]
Reflecting feedbacks we got in the latest ICM class, we changed the concept of our project a bit. Also, prepared the questionnaire which we are going to ask other students in the playtesting. These are all included here: Final Project: Playtesting The BOM is mentioned in the document above as well, though we need advice about them […]
Maria, Joohyun and I decided to make a team for the final project combining ICM and Physical computing. We had several intensive brainstorming meetings last week and during that time, the situation kept happening that we chose an idea and changed our mind later. It was really hard to find a concept which everyone satisfied […]
Worked as a UX designer for several years, I would like to make something practical and related to our daily lives for the final project. I haven’t decided yet and am still researching. There are several examples and initial ideas that I pursue. The first project I am going to introduce is Objectifier by Bjørn […]
I couldn’t come up with any satisfying idea regarding my midterm project until a week before the presentation. I first thought about something that moves linearly using a servo motor and gears but, to be honest, it wasn’t that intriguing. So I rethought from the beginning and tried to figure out what kind of physical […]
For my first serial communication project, I reviewed all the P5 sketches I have made so far. Any work could have been connected to Arduino; I thought the assignment, Flying bird, was above all, the best one to be controlled by physical inputs. The bird in the canvas flies following the mouse on the x-axis. […]
I especially struggled to come up with an idea for this assignment. My original plan was to make a force gamer using FSRs, though I’ve burnt all the FSRs I had, trying to solder them. The issue of fixing the electronic parts firmly to the board or wires is always a stressful job so that’s why […]
I recently learnt about digital and analogue inputs/outputs in my physical computing class. The servo motor and the speaker was the most interesting parts among them — Actually, analogue things are more interesting to me! — Therefore I made up my mind to use both of them for my assignment this week. The basic idea […]
