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…
SBES – Superbloom Entertainment System
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…
Ryan Doyle: Paper Nature Concept
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…
Sylvia Lin – Paper Nature Concept Art
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…
Jonathan Shiery – Paper Nature Concept Art
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…
Colin Ancalmo – Paper Nature Concept
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…
Joy Tartaglia – Paper Nature Concept
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…
Paper Nature Concept – Processed Nature
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,…
Matt Johannesen – Interactive Desk
After several days of simultaneously fighting off Max, OBS, and my antivirus software, I have finally completed my interactive animation: Although it was a pain to get the Max patch to play video properly on my computer, I had a great time thinking up some fun animations for the arrangement of things on my desk…
Cem Alemdar – Interactive Animation
For this assignment I chose a drum kit as my static image. It is not my own drum kit but just one I found on the internet. I wanted to create unexpected sounds to come out of these drums, to not make it like a drum machine. So I made the animations first, and then…
