The situation is escape room-like, where players have to interact with objects to unlock another part of the story. The project employs use of a picker object, the MakeyMakey, the Arduino UNO, and playlist objects showing the pictures that make up the visual novel. Connection is explored through players’ collaborative efforts. The program: There are…

Final Project Concept: Her Diary
For my project, I want to have the output be a story told through the players’ interactions. The players are reading a diary and attempting to deduce what is going on / what happened. I want the outputs to look like something out of a visual novel. Players will interact with different found objects to…
Audio Input Sketch: Too Loud
The code is simple, if the meter goes above a certain point it triggers a photo in a playlist. There are two photos to choose from, one of a man giving a thumbs up, and another of a man covering his ears in obvious stress. This is supposed to subtly tell the user to be…
Arduino Demo Sketch: Material Manipulation
I used the light sensor and the temperature sensor to manipulate aspects of a shape’s material. I used the jit.gl.material object and various attrui objects. The light sensor’s data is used to change the specular level of the material, while the temperature sensor’s data manipulates the diffuse level of the material. I was unsure of…
Meme Remix: Bungee Gum
Hisoka, one of the main antagonists of the anime series Hunter x Hunter, possesses an ability called “Bungee Gum”, named after his favorite bubblegum candy from when he was a child. This ability is actually the strongest ability of its kind in the series. There need only be one thing to understand about Bungee Gum:…
Interactive Touch Project: A Comforting Home
Additions made: I added two little potted plants. I also added a little book on the lamp table and a card on the mantel. I added a 3.5 inch monitor to display my animations. They don’t show up well on the iPhone camera, so, I show the animations on my laptop screen as well. There…
Interactive Touch Output + Input: A Comforting Home
The idle scene is a photo of the house with music playing in the background. The three animations:When the table is touched, a plate of cookies is quickly consumed. When the fireplace is touched, logs and flames appear inside it. When the piano is touched, a few chords are played. Question: I wanted to incorporate…
Interactive Touch Input Sketch: A Comforting Home
I basically spent the time creating the diorama and setting up three interactive pieces. Three brass fasteners act as “buttons” for the interactive elements. The wires feed through holes in the furniture and in the walls. I do want to add more interactive stuff, though. I also want to add more cosmetic things. Unfortunately, I…
Interactive Touch Concept: A Comforting Home
For my project I just wanted to bring attention to the wonders of having a place you can call home. I think it’s important that we who have homes appreciate that ability to sleep, eat, and exist in a sheltered, warm place. I want to create a diorama, mostly out of cardboard, that represents the…
Data Art – Teen Vaping Rise in 2019

While vaping is seen as the more “healthy” alternative, it is a gateway for children and teenagers into the world of nicotine and nicotine…
