Hey Everyone, For my little model to how I want to change animations, I have all my items on top of a cardboard “table”. I just used this to mainly hide most of my wiring and cabling (I have no cools things). I might try it with a softboard pencil on cardboard. There really isn’t…

For the input component of my Interactive Touch project, I chose to make an analog timeline that you can slide your finger along. I used a force applied on the particles from my data project to visualize the input from the slider. To make it, I utilized an Arduino reading a voltage drop across the…

I found a metal toy mailbox that will serve as the vault door that represents society. I set up the Makey Makey to detect when the door shuts to send a signal to Max that will later trigger an animation showing the shutdown of society near the beginning of the pandemic. The wiring is all…

For the input for my Interactive Touch project, I ended up extending one of the ideas I had from my sketch and made four physical doors that can be opened and closed to trigger the Makey Makey. To do this, I used cardboard and tape for the construction, and the conductive yarn and conductive tape…

I tried to make my input minimalistic to match my future animations which will be simple stick figures. I took an Altoid tin and used copper tape to create 5 buttons. The ground is on the side of the tin, so the user will hold the tin keeping one finger on the ground button and…

For my project, I am focusing on the way that COVID-19 interrupted what could have been a nice year for everyone. In this model of the physical piece, I made a base that looks like waves and keys on top of it that trigger different sounds when pressed. Each key has a visual representation of…

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…

Hey all. Here’s my update on the interactive touch project. I made my input controller a mock up abstract of my room. Right now my priority was getting my build to be structurally sound, but I will be adding MakeyMakey functionality within the next day or so. I’ve yet to determine the colors, but I…

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…

Every time you leave the house, there’s a fairly simple dance we all do, entirely subconsciously. We pat our pockets to check for our Wallet, Keys, Phone. It’s something we so that we never not have money, not get locked out of our own homes, and not have a way to communicate with anyone. …but…

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…
