For the past months, thanks to COVID, I spent most of my time doing 3 things: Watching TV, vibing to music, and, unfortunately, binge-scrolling through TikTok. I decided to join 2 of them together and do some sort of DJ sound/dance pad. The idea behind my project is to animate 5 different and simple dance…

Interactive Touch Rough Concept
For my project, I would like to focus on how people found new ways to socialize with covid. At first people would just hang out with each other in person, but when covid hit everyone was forced to socially distance. Eventually young people like myself started using more virtual outlets to socialize such as video…
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch – Disruption
For my interactive touch project, I wanted to create a relaxing ambiance that is disrupted by some jarring sounds. My audio player sketch has some of these elements, but more sounds to create a fuller experience can certainly be added. I decided to go with the theme of disruption because COVID-19 caused a dramatic change…
Concept Sketch – Germs
For my object, I wanted to create a sculpture with conductive forms. I have laid out a demonstration, i would like the forks to kind of form a spikey star shape. I want to use forks that have the fork part touching each other, as this is a very dangerous thing to do in the…
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch – Communication
For my interactive touch project, I wanted to depict the switch from in-person to online communication. Once the pandemic started, people were forced to go into lockdown, closing their doors to outsiders and moving to online communication. The idea for my project is that the display would show a bunch of people outside their homes,…
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch – Routine
For my Interactive Touch project, I’ve decided to make a piece called “Routine.” The idea is to abstract and depict my room back in Puerto Rico and the routine I had settled into during the summer months of this COVID season. I intend on making the windows, Tv remote, bed, and computer monitor out of…
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch – Craving Social Interaction
For my interactive touch project, I am planning to represent one of the ways social interaction has changed since Covid. Before the pandemic, people would hang out in small or large groups, close together. Iām planning on having a scene with a group of people playing a board game sitting close together. Then, when the…
Interactive Touch Concept – Everyday Items
Hey everyone! For this concept sketch about “how life has changed since coronavirus nation attacked” we are focusing on how relatively unimportant objects suddenly became extremely relevant. Soap, thermometer, masks, and even toilet paper (yes you heard me right) changed how we act. The objects above I’ll either make them out of aluminium foil completely,…
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch: The Domino Effect
My concept based on the theme of “How life has changed since coronavirus” is about the abrupt closure of society. I want to build a model that will represent society and how open everything was before the pandemic. People could travel, go to the mall, dine inside restaurants and much more. I was thinking of…
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…
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…
