For my project, I built a time machine that takes the user through the future, allowing them to examine possible different outcomes for each year they visit. As they drag on the slider on the front of the box, they are transported between the years 2021, 2300, and 3000. The pressure sensor on the box…

Final Project Concept Sketch
For my final project, I want to show what multiple different outcomes of the future could be. I’m using two different input sensors: the slider and the pressure button. The concept is basically a time machine; there will be a box that the user can interact with, which will have the two sensors on it….
Arduino Demo Sketch
I made a really simple sketch just to test out my ability to get the Arduino to work. When you press and hold on the slider you can change the size of the ball on screen, sliding your finger up to make it bigger and down to make it smaller.
Meme Remix Sketch
There’s a viral clip that’s gone around the internet the past few years of a guy jumping into a door frame and banging his head really hard. The banging made a very loud, high-pitched noise that has been remixed into countless videos such as this one: For my meme remix project, I wanted to make…
Interactive Touch Project
For my project, I wanted to reflect upon society’s mood over time as the coronavirus pandemic progressed. I would represent this mood through abstract animations, using color, shapes, motion, and sound to artistically represent those feelings. For each month, starting with March, I made a different animation, starting with a happier, lighter animation that would…
Interactive Touch Input Sketch
For my project, I have one button for each month since lockdown started. These buttons sit atop posts that are laid out in a line. When pressed, each button will trigger a different animation on the screen that will reflect the mood of the world at the time for each month.
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch – Monthly Mood
For my project, I wanted to capture the global/national mood and attitude towards coronavirus as the months moved on. I will have several buttons on stands representing each month, and when pressed they will trigger animations I feel are representative of how bad the situation felt at each point in time. The animations will consist…
Makey Makey Audio Player Sketch – Hi, how are you today?
A simple interface where the user can press tinfoil pads to get Max to greet them and ask how they are.
Data Art Project – Global Population
For my project I wanted to tackle the projected global population for the next century. Overpopulation is a problem I take very seriously because it directly impacts our environment, an issue I feel very strongly about. My initial concept was to have the a model of the earth represent the population, and it would scale…
Data Sketch – Projected World Population Growth
For my project, I wanted to tackle the issue of overpopulation. The statistics found at this link (https://ourworldindata.org/future-population-growth) present a prediction that the world’s population will exceed 10 billion by the year 2100. Given the population in 1800 was under 1 billion, the world will have seen over a 10x increase in just 300 years….
