For this project, I decided that I wanted to make a cloud that could be interacted with. At first, I thought I was going to make the could out of paper, but found cotton balls give a much better look. The cloud is made internally of inflated balloons that have LEDs shining into them. They work…

For this project, I made an interactive miniature landscape. The project started with a piece of cardboard and lots of newspaper glued together. Afterwards I painted the piece with acrylic paint. it was messy but I enjoyed it. When i decided to paint my house and do a kitchen remodeling, i had to find some…

The concept I was shooting for with this project was to create origami flowers with colored sheets of paper that, when interacted with, corresponded to real flowers of the same color. The orange flower plays a stock video of begonia flowers and the white flower corresponds to a white rose. I originally wanted to use…

Paper Nature For this project I attempted to capture the feeling of NASA’s aerial photography through an interactive paper globe. I achieved this lighting up the world’s largest cites with LEDs beneath the surface of the paper globe. The user simply selects the local WPI time on the controller and the globe automatically updates the…

My paper nature project is interactive animation. When you insert a certain card into the pot slot, a flower/plant will grow inside the screen. If you press the “sp” key after you insert a certain card, a special animation will be played for each kind of flower/plant.

For this project, I chose to make a house out of paper that can be interacted with to cause different weather effects and some normal interactions (knocking). you can interacts with different windows, the roof, the chimney, the front door, and the lightning rod to cause various different conditions that all have different audio playback….

For this project, I was inspired to create yet another seasonal item. This one allows you to choose a season based on an origami shape, and then the user can take a photograph of that season using the camera. The photo is loaded from a database of pre-selected photos. When the user choose a season, there…

For my paper nature project, I made an abstract representation of the sky and the earth in different seasons. There are five ways to interact with it; the first four are to transition to another season, while the fifth is to start some season-specific animation. Here is an image of the physical interactibles, with four…

My paper nature project is an artificial plant achieved with makey makey — the “Four-Leaf”. Water is needed to “activate” the plant and it will generate sounds from the nature, with different themes for each of the four leaves ( winds , forests, droplets and birds). The animation is in harmony with the sound effects, representing…
Geometric Abstraction
For my geometric abstraction, I took inspiration specifically from Thomas Downing and his work using dots. Specifically I drew inspiration from his inclusion of geometric shapes forming other larger geometric shapes. Kind of like this: Now for mine, i particularly enjoyed the offset 3d skewed vision that the open cylinder and open cube gave…
