I used the sensor to play the video and audio whenever I added a certain amount of pressure. It played the video really fast sorry about that. I used the red board and the wires. I also tried with the sensor but couldn’t get the video to stop. It only made it play a bit…

I am an Interactive Media and Game Design (IMGD) major at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I play Steam, Nintendo, and PS4 games. Some games I
really enjoy are Oxenfree, Life is Strange, Uncharted 4, Fallout 4, The Last of Us, & Little Nightmares.
I currently have 2 cats (Jimmy & Phryne), a Havanese (Sammy), and a few cacti. Jimmy is grey, & Phryne is a Siamese cat. I've had Labradors & Retrievers so Sammy is the first small dog I've had.
I was born in Yiwu, China but am from Pennsylvania. I have a sister who is two years younger and loves theater. My hobbies are drawing, photography, creative writing, and reading (Mostly sci-fi, mystery, action adventure, & humor). A few books I like are H20 by Virginia Bergin, Eye of Minds by James Dasher, & Frozen Fire by Tim Bowler.
I like sports (Playing much more than watching). I used to play travel team soccer, basketball, and cross country (I still like to run but for fun, not competition).
I am a pescatarian (Meaning I can eat seafood, not meat) by choice since 2013. It's funny because my sister is the opposite in diet. She seems to live off of steak, bacon, and candy. We are quite the pair (Sorry mom about the limited dinner options).
I used to want to be a film major to write stories and see them come to life, but then learned more about the sexism and difficulties in the industry. Over time, Game Design seemed to become more of an interest. I fell in love with the visuals and could still tell my stories without the limitations of real life.
Audio Input Sketch
I added the ability for people to see my audio waves as I talked. When recording the video audio was way louder than me. In the video I explain that whenever I talk the video starts over again and will at different points based off my tone of voice. I used adobe editor to make…
Meme Remix Sketch-Animal Crossing and DOOM
Making a Video to then Break into parts for MakeyMakey I made a video in Adobe Premiere Pro with a bunch of animations based off the DOOM and Animal Crossing Meme. After making a video I liked, I then broke it up to 4 different parts to then use with the MakeyMakey. Meme I chose…
Interactive Touch Project
In this video I made three animations and used electrical tape to connect the current. My idea is still the same from the previous drafts. I have a TV, computer, and a cell phone. When pressing on one, it shows some of the news I would see during quarantine. I have pets who push the…
Interactive Touch Input Sketch
I created a phone, a computer, and a TV out of cardboard, paper, and tape. My plan is to use the electrical paint on the screen. I’ll use the wires to then connect to the clips for the Makey Makey. For the items I have a way for the wires to not be seen. The…
Interactive Touch Concept-Bad New But Good Out There Too
When everyone went into quarantine, there was a lot of sad people online on social media (phone). There were people sharing statistics and debating on TV. When taking breaks I would play video games (PC), which also involved death. There was nothing really on TV or social media that was positive. Before there was different…
Makey Makey Veggie Audio
I connected a piece of lettuce, a snow pea, a tomato, and a carrot to the Makey Makey. I did not want the food to go to waste so I gave it to my guinea pigs. My plan was to tap the veggie so it will state it’s name for when the guinea pigs bit…

Data Sketch – Comparing Gender of Children in China
Circles represent females and squares represent males. Why I chose this topic. I chose this topic because I am an adopted female from China. History of why males were preferred. Due to the huge population, which continued to grow, the one child policy was made in 1979. Males earned money and worked while females had…
