Final Project Concept

Here is the idea: The metaphor is Life. Life is an abstract thing that people have failed to come to a comprehensive agreement upon. Exactly what is it? Exactly why does it happen. What is our purpose? Who knows. No one really does. But one thing is for certain. Everyone has life, and everyone’s life…

My final project is a dress that changes color with movement. The color change will take place using LEDs on the skirt and thermal color changing paint atop heater fabric on the corset. An Adafruit FLORA board and a FLORA accelerometer will control if and how quickly the colors change. The accelerometer will provide information…

For my final project I wanted to work with either the theme of love or the theme of flowers. I decided to just combine the two. Right now there are a lot of ideas so we’ll see what I can accomplish in the time we have. The metaphor compares life to flowers where one must…

Final Project Concept

For my final project, I would like to make an interactive dashboard using custom animations and the Makey Makey kit.  The main unit would be a control panel consisting of a lever, two switches, and two buttons.  Each control will have its own custom animation to trigger a video, simulating the user navigating their life. …

My project is a metaphor for procrastination, in that it is a game where one can postpone certain things that inevitably catch up to them in the end. In this, the player is centered in a webcam screen which is being encircled by various undone chores, such as exams, laundry, etc. The player can use a…

Bubble Popping – Final Project Concept

My project is on popping bubbles in the air with your finger as the needle. I really wanted to test people’s hand eye coordination with trying to pop bubbles that aren’t actually there. I expect those who play a lot of video games would do well at this considering how much time is spent trying…

   I will make a metaphor with a portable brainwave detector– “Thinkgear”.   The metaphor is about the “feed back loop of individual life”, there are two kinds of feedback loop, positive and negative. The positive feedback will try to play appropriate music to enhance your meditation experience with the Thinkgear detector, while the negative…

Noah Hillman & Nick Sorensen: Final Project Concept

For our final project, we would like to create a living piece of music that is controlled via a handheld glove. Inside the glove there will be  a heart beat sensor that will be used to control the tempo of the music, and an accelerometer to interpret gesture to play sounds over the base rhythm….

My project is called Beat the Troller. I get my inspiration from my gaming experience. When I play online competitive games, there are always trollers. I am always irritated  and I always say this to my friends: “I really want to follow the ethernet cable and beat this **** troller.” This is apparently a joke…

Saul Woolf and Kyria Nelson – Final Project Concept

If you’ve taken any Computer Science courses beyond the first few introduction courses, you’ve likely encountered Conway’s “Game of Life” simulation. In this game, a grid can have either colored or uncolored cells, representing living or dead organisms respectively. If a living cell has two or three living neighbors (cells in its immediate surroundings), it…
