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…
Han Liu Final Project Concept & Demo
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….
Final Project Concept & Demo – Kailun Liu
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…
As Easy As Pie? – Adam Moran Final Project Concept
For you purists out there, the idiom “as easy as pie” refers to the act of eating a pie, which is supposedly very easy. But you can’t eat a pie without somebody having made the pie. I haven’t made a pie before, but I can assume that making a pie is much harder than eating…
Thai Dao – Final Concept & Demo
For the final project, I’d like to do an interactive painting with the theme of imagination/perception. I’ve not yet decided on the painting itself but I have a rough sketch. The painting will be made using Photoshop (save me the cost of buying supplies). People will interact by touching the painting in different “hotspots”. Sounds…
Learning to Fly – Jarod Romankiw & Isaiah Fleischer
Let us introduce ourselves. Jarod and Isaiah are both juniors studying Aerospace Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. We are both very passionate about what we study, and figured we could try and relate some of the things we learned about the aerospace world, into the art world. We decided to create a ‘game’ which allows…
Kyria Nelson – Computer Vision Gestures
So I’m kind of bad at technology? After several attempts to make this project using Colorpicker, I realized that it would be much easier with point-tracker. In class when we first went over computer vision, I had a dream that I could make a program where you could put on Michael Jackson’s single white glove…
Interactive Animation – Aidan Sensiba
This animation takes place in my apartment’s kitchen, in which you can interact with the fridge, the window, the stove, the microwave, and the basketball hoop. Here is a video and a screenshot of the Max patcher:
