Physical Computation Mid-Term
For our midterm, I teamed up with Lucas and David to create a project that defies all conventional notions of the possible: A chic and sexy time traveling radio!
She is quite stunning if I do say so myself.
Lucas contributing.
David fine “tuning” the knobs.

Video Throw Up #2 featuring Serial Communication and Two Pots!
This weeks lab started off a little subdued, but finished strong. We inch closer and closer towards controlling objects on the screen, which, for the diversionary type, means VIDEO GAMES! Ok, for the interactive designer, it means something less pointed. I partnered with Lucas to make this lab happen, and you will here is clear and cogent explanations of what is exactly transpiring.
Without further ado:
Of course I’m serial.
Another successful lab, this time dealing with serial communication between a micro-controller (my cheap Seeeduino board) and Processing. The outcome is surprisingly game-like, though I admit I did not tweak the screen elements as much as I should have, but I did alter the background color and give it a nice serial dependent, gray scale gradient. I’m sure to fool around with this a little more.
