If you’ve taken any Computer Science courses beyond the first few introduction courses, you’ve likely encountered Conway’s “Game of Life” simulation. In this game, a grid can have either colored or uncolored cells, representing living or dead organisms respectively. If a living cell has two or three living neighbors (cells in its immediate surroundings), it…

Jonathan Shiery – Final Project Concept
For my project, I wanted to make use of the microphone as my controller once again. I wanted to make a project based around the concept of singing, where, no matter the quality of the singing, whether it be good or bad, the program always outputs bad singing. I wanted to create a metaphor based…
Matt Johannesen – Sensor(y) Metaphor: Elephant in the Room
This isn’t very well thought out, I’ll admit – once again this week I’ve been way more caught up with the technology available rather than finding a decent project subject. I kept fixating on the flex sensor in the Arduino kit, wondering what on Earth I could make with it… but today I thought of…
Arduino CNC Drawing
Using an arduino uno and cnc shield, I created a cnc platform from 3 linear stages. I loaded the arduino with the opensource grbl firmware and can interface this from my computer through the universal g-code sender platform. The vision for my final project is to create an experience in which the participant draws an…
Joy Tartaglia – Final Project Concept
I was having trouble thinking of a metaphor and decided came up with something I call a “visual itch”. Kind of like an itch you can’t reach, there’s something that catches your eye, but when you look at it, it’s either gone, or you can’t see what it was that made you look in the…
Colin Ancalmo – Sensor(y) Metaphor Concept
For my final project, I am planning to use MAX grid matrices, a heart rate sensor, and a camera to convey the metaphor/idea of “We bring life to the things around us“. More on this theme at the end. My plan is to use the 3D grid matrix plane from my Audio-controlled animation and have…
Cem Alemdar and Sylvia Lin – Final Project Concept
We have several ideas of what we want to do in terms of the final project. We know we would like to use heat sensor and button to control the animation. Additionally, it is also in our interests to incorporate audio control as well as computer vision as another set of parameter for input. However,…
Tom Tawadros – Sensor(y) Metaphor Concept
Metaphors are ubiquitous in the English language. We use them all the time, often without realizing it. However, creating a compelling, original metaphor isn’t exactly a walk in the park (see what I did there). My initial idea for this project was to somehow explore consciousness. I was played around with lackluster similes for a…
Ryan Doyle: Sensor(y) Metaphors Concept
Concept: The concept of this project involves a person working on an important project with an upcoming deadline(sounds kind of familiar). This person is depicted inside of an oven. The user will be able to control a knob on the oven which will turn up the heat and cause the person to work faster. However,…
Daniel McDonough – Sensor(y) Metaphors Concept
Using Melodysheep as inspiration I plan on making a synth-board to remix scientific videos and quotes. As a metaphor of connectivity between humans, science and nature. Nature represented by petri dishes will be used as dials to control the visuals of the videos. To represent humanity, I plan on implementing the NodeJS MAX plugin such…
