My project is now completed, its main components being the aluminum frame, light rays, and interactive medium that is fog. The fog ended up acting as a representation of the veil between heaven and earth; us in darkness and God the light. The wind made it difficult to keep the fog steadily enshrouding the LED…

This week I set to finalize my project by working on the positioning and wiring of the red and white LEDs. A diagram was drawn to serve as a guide for the placement of each of the nine LEDs so that they could be set at equal distances from each other. Sets of three series-connected…

This week, I completely finished the project by making the surface look better and more solid. Also, I added a base support to enable the light to be stably set on table. To make it solid, I used my “fail” idea, which is overlaying lots of paper tissue on the original frame by using glue….

This post is being written on behalf of Caleb Wagner, Ben Liang, and Jarod Romankiw.  The interactive robotic light painting (IRLP) team has been working on the final development of our artistic creation. This post focuses on the two main areas of our project, and how they’ve developed over the past week. Robot We’ve had…

During this week, to make sure my project was ready to present, I focused on soldering all of the pieces together. And it works very well! All of the lights work, however, I was unable to run the wires through the piping due to their crazy nature at the top of the cube. I have…

This week went mostly well. I was able to take a lot of photos with the drone and create some cool effects in the sky. The weather at the end of the week started becoming less than ideal so, I switched gears a little bit in order to capture more content. Since the wind was…

This final week, I am focusing on creating a nice flow of the different clips I have in order to tell a story nicely. This requires some post production for creating the texture in the shots that I want. Below is a newer shot I’ll have that goes along with the Dark shadow vibe that…

I wasn’t able to post last week so this week will include my iteration and failure of last week as well as a my working product. Pass 1 Most of my supplies arrived much later than anticipated so I had to improvise with what to work with last week. The first order that came was…

Over the week I’ve made substantial progress on my lightning cube. No longer just a sad, non-functional pile of LEDs on the floor, it now has a shape and it blinks! Last week I was struggling to get the LED strip working. I presumed this was a faulty strip and was dead on arrival, so…

This week I got a lot of work done on my project, found a few more issues, and have revised my plan a bit for the final result. I still want the globe to function as a basic clock, so I was able to etch the hours along the equator of the globe. The laser…

In theory, everything works great. My main priority components are the fiber optic cable and the battery. Unfortunately, both parts had to be sent back and replaced. The battery pack that I received was too bulky and would not fit in the pants comfortably as I imagined. I did some research and found a Power…
