Concept: I am really fascinated with Elon Musks Neuralink research which hints at the possibility of humans being able to communicate through a chip implanted in their brains. Currently being tested on pigs, the quarter-sized implant connects to the brain with tiny wires and has the potential to cure blindness, paralysis, deafness, and mental illness….

Final Project Sketch – Neuralink Communication
Hello! For my final project I will be creating a interactive display that demonstrates how human communication could be in the future. Concept: I am really fascinated with Elon Musks Neuralink research (find more info here) which hints at the possibility of humans being able to communicated through a chip implanted in their brains. Currently…
Arduino Demo Sketch
For this sketch I decided to use the pressure sensor that came with my Arduino kit to trigger the waves in the background of a video to do short back-and-forth movements. When the pressure is above 200 it triggers the video to play.
Audio Input Sketch
For this sketch project I wanted to work with audio input. My idea was to mimic those neon applause and quiet signs that you see in live studio audiences for tv shows. I created two images for each of the signs. When the volume, gets above a certain level, the sign says quiet. When the…
Meme Remix Sketch
For this meme remix sketch project, I decided to make a meme style video out of an interview of WPI’s President, Laurie Leshin. The original interview can be found here. This is the final outcome: This was created using an online sound editor, iMovie, a MakeyMakey kit, and Max. Here is my Max patch that…
Interactive Touch Project – World Volume
For this project, I wanted to demonstrate how the world has gotten so much “quieter” for me since the start of the pandemic. I decided to use concerts as a way to show this, with three animations. The first animation is of a real in-person concert(loudest volume), the second animation is of a person hanging…
Interactive Touch Input Sketch – World Volume
As mentioned in a previous post, my concept involves changing the world’s “volume” to show how much quieter/calmer the world is now from a social standpoint. My interactive element is the physical changing of this volume, which you can see in the video. I used conductive tape to display the different levels of volume so…
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch – A Quiet World
The concept that I am aiming to convey in my interactive touch project to fit the theme of “how life has changed since coronavirus” is how much quieter the world seems to me. Before the global pandemic, I found myself constantly overwhelmed trying to balance school, work, fun, friends, etc. I was always exploring new…
Makey Makey – Apple Music
To test my Makey Makey kit with Max, I connected it to 5 apples that each played a different piano note. I got the audio recordings of the notes here. My goal was to play a part of the song “Clocks” by Coldplay, but to keep this assignment simple I only wanted to use 5…
Data Art – AMI in Young Adults
Since my data art sketch my concept has definitely changed. I originally began to add more cones to cover 25% of the sphere, as it had been suggested in a lot of the feedback I received. After playing around more in max, I actually found an interesting birds-eye perspective of a cone moving through a…
Data Sketch – Prevalence of AMI in Young Adults
For this data sketch assignment, I aimed to show the frequency of young adults who have dealt with Any Mental Illness(AMI). The National Institute of Mental Health reports that in young adults ages 18-25, 25.8% have lived with a mental illness. I found this alarming that about a quarter of people my age are dealing…
Introduction
My name is Rose and I am a junior at WPI majoring in Human-Computer Interaction. I originally came into WPI as a CS major, but quickly switched to be an IMGD major because I liked programming but I was much more interested in the human side of it. I really enjoy the IMGD classes, however…
