Patrick Luck I want to make an interactive animation of a T-Rex in the wild. The physical interactive aspect will be a 3D paper head of a t-rex which will be able to open and close it’s Jaw. The Makey Makey will be hooked up inside the Dino such that it can detect when the…

As I started doing some research for this project, I was immediately drawn to this image of a paper popup castle: Its flat coloring makes the structure seem deceptively simple, even though it clearly required some very careful design work to execute properly. It also reminded me of the flat, stylized environments of Monument Valley,…

My concept for this paper craft project is to have a series of interlocking origami paper pieces that only when assembled in a certain configuration, will an unlocking animation play with satisfactory audio. I am playing with what shape should be the final design as these base interlocking pieces are able to interlock in many…

For this assignment I decided on making some sort of a drum pad with nature sounds. I want to have both ambient and sample based sounds on the pad. I sketched out an example of how I wanted it to look: So there will be 5 different images which all would have their unique sound….

The rough drawing above is an image of a water based harmonica. Using a box full of impure water to conduct electricity. It is possible to suck water up to certain points of the straw to change volume and note based on which straw is being sucked on. In addition, it is possible that using…

A superbloom is a natural phenomenon in which a large number of flowers bloom largely at the same time. My pitch for this project is an interactive flower pot which allows you to grow (and destroy) a field of poppies by planting a paper craft flower into a pot connected to a MakeyMakey board. When…

My paper nature project will focus on the life cycle of an apple. The project will have 2 controls. One of them advances time, making the apple grow, fall off the tree, or decompose. The second control lets the user pick the apple as long as it is ripe. The second control will be controlled…

For this project, I really want to focus on the importance of recycling. I plan to use paper and foiled paper to create a few trash cans and mark them with different labels such as toxic, wet trash, dry trash, and recyclable. Waste sorting is a huge deal in China right now and I think…

I wanted to make a pond scene for my Paper Nature project. For my idea, I wanted to create an intractable pond scene, where the screen would show the result of interacting with the paper object. Pulling on certain objects will make them react a certain way. I want to try and make a peaceful…

For my Paper Nature project, I will be taking inspiration from the Icosahedral, a mathematical shape that is found in nature, to make an interactive origami piece. Icosahedrals form in pure mineral growths such as Iron Pyrites, and are seen on the microscopic level in micro-organisms and viruses. Icosahedrals can be made out of origami…

My family took a trip to Ogunquit, Main over the weekend. We loved the waves crashing against the cliffs, so I was inspired to do something based on that. I was thinking I could draw some waves with varying heights, and touching them would increase the volume of a general soundtrack of waves. I could…

The stated goal of this project is to explore a natural process. Soon after hearing the phrase “natural process,” and idea hit me. Many of the foods we eat claim to be, among other things, “natural” or some variation thereof. Many of these foods, however, are in fact heavily processed in a factory setting. Thus,…
