For my final project, I wanted to explore the idea of fun little games that people used to play. In this case, I wanted it to resemble somewhat of a board game that you would play with your family, like when you are camping or on a vacation. I wanted to have the project represent…

Final Project Concept Sketch (John L)
The final project that I will be making revolves around the idea of a roulette-like game. The object of the game is to score higher than your opponent. The way to get points in the game is to try and hit the force sensor/button at the same time as when the different colored LED comes…
Arduino Sketch (John L)
The video above is just a quick demo of using the force sensor as a switch. When someone touches the sensor, the audio begins to play. When the sensor is free after someone touches it, the audio plays the second half. The original video of the audio is shown below, along with an image of…
Computer Vision/Audio Input (John L)
Look! There is a man trapped in that box! He can’t get out! I wanted this little sketch to reference that of what mimes do. I find it very intriguing how they can make illusions out of nothing. The only issues I had with the project was I wanted to add an audio piece to…
MemeRemix Sketch (John L)
My meme focuses on the nostalgia of commercials that appeared in the early 2000s. If you watched TV during those years, many of the “nostalgia commercial memes” on Youtube would have a much larger impact to the viewer. In this case, I wanted to remix one of my favorite commercials that always appeared every commercial…
Interactive Touch Project (John L)
The live interaction consists of a crane that controls when the animation moves. The crane is attached to one long wire. When the crane passes over a conductive spot on the wire, the animation plays the crane moving in the video. There is also a button to the side of the crane that allows for…
Interactive Input Sketch (John L)
I am thinking about masking the whole project with newspaper, in order to get rid of the glue and cardboard. However, I also like the way it looks because of how it looks more “industrial.” My question is should I use newspaper to cover some areas of the project?
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch (John L)
This is why I don’t understand why many people try to change their identities to match those around them. You are who you are and you shouldn’t change it (unless it is hurting you or others). The concept applies to both physical and mental changes to a person. The sketch I have is like a…
Makey Makey Demo (John L)
The video above is a demonstration of using the Makey Makey Kit to create a music composition. In total, I used 4 inputs to create the short melody. The Max Patch that I used for the Makey Makey Kit is shown in the image below. I originally wanted to use all 6 inputs, but I…
Data Art Project (John L)
The video below represents my finished product for the Data Art Sketch with some animation to it. The sketch is supposed to represent the educational inequality between Black, Hispanic, and White people. This is represented with the books on the scale, with the brown and orange books representing Black and Hispanic opportunities, while the right…
Data Sketch (John L)
One of the data statistics that I wanted to focus on is the idea of learning. Learning has helped me through many different situations, whether it just be for school or for understanding other’s feelings. A person learning can help them improve from their mistakes and even make them better people. During my time at…
Introduce Yourself (John L)
My name is John Lemieux. I am a freshman that came from the town of Upton in Massachusetts. I like to draw different sketches and portraits in my free time. I usually tend to draw different characters in different kinds of poses. I plan on being an Electrical engineer in the future, but I also…
