Final Project

In this project, the two people interacting each get one sensor to touch — one representing vertical and one representing horizontal movement on the screen. The screen displays the lines drawn by the users as well as a stencil they can try to trace. Pressing the spacebar on the keyboard removes all drawn lines and…

Final Project Concept Sketch

For my project, I intend to use the ribbon sensors with the Arduino to create a teamwork drawing tool. The sensors will be connected to a virtual cursor that draws according to the users’ controls. One of the sensors will control horizontal movement while one will control vertical movements. Two people will have to collaborate…

Arduino Demo Sketch

I used the light sensor with the Arduino to control the time of day as shown by the sky in this scene. I was interested in using the temperature sensor as well to control seasons but that would have been harder to convey with just a sky scene. The Arduino is super fun and easy…

Audio Input Sketch

For my sketch, I used Unity to detect microphone volume and create particle effects with their size based on the volume of the audio. It was a neat challenge to work with microphone input in Unity as I haven’t done it before. šŸ™‚

Meme Remix Sketch

For my remix, I chose to edit the Crave Rave song by Noisestorm. The user can change video clips, speed up and slow down the video as much as they want, and add colors with keyboard controls. Here’s the original!

Interactive Touch Project: Feel

My project explored the under-appreciated sense of touch! I provided a sample of contrasting textures to feel while associated animations play on the screen that show what that material reminds me of. For example, the soft feeling of the cotton ball reminds me of a cat’s fur. šŸ™‚ For my animations, I chose to use…

Interactive Touch Input Sketch

Here is my input sketch! The materials are all held in aluminum foil cups so that they are conductive from all around, and the wires are all underneath. The cups have cotton balls, leaves, fabric, and water (which is kind of hard to see in the photo). To make the cotton balls and fabric conductive,…

Interactive Touch Concept: Feel

For my project, I thought it would be interesting to explore the sense of touch, especially considering that this is an interactive touch project. The sense of touch in my opinion is the most underappreciated — we all have favorite music, foods, and smells, and appreciate visual art, but we don’t often think about how…

Data Art: Stress

Stress plays a huge role in our mental and physical health, and is a serious issue among so many people. Personally, I feel stressed virtually all the time, and I think it’s a major concern. This composition represents stress levels of American teens. In a survey of 35,000 participants, 82% said their stress levels ranged…

Data Sketch – Stress

This composition represents stress levels of American teens. In a survey of 35,000 participants, 82% said their stress levels ranged from sometimes to all the time. In my piece, the red square represents the ratio of teens who said that they are stressed all of the time, with orange being sometimes, yellow being rarely, and…

Jasmine Duerk

Hello! I’m Jasmine, from Shrewsbury, MA. I have been doing traditional art for my entire life, before moving to digital painting in high school. Now, I do a lot of digital character paintings and 3D box modeling. Although it is primarily a hobby, my involvement in art has brought me into both playing and making…
