So right now I don’t have anything to practice the electrical part except for an ultrasonic sensor so I set up something to prove that I can control LEDs through a system using distance as a parameter instead of sound. I also added a buzzer to temporarily replace the heartbeat sounds. Right now the lights…
Maquette: Sunrise Adventure
After trying to create a miniature scale of my project, I have realized that I have a lot of different parts that have to be put together to make this piece work. Originally I wanted to have one light source in the center of the painting, coming from the sun, but there was worry that…
Shadow Puppet: Maquette
The coding for the project is progressing smoothly! I have set up a simple color tracker that positions and scales a sword based on tracked color. Below you can see a non-filtered image of me, holding a yellow sharpie. Once I click on the sharpie, the sword will attach itself to the color and follow…
Maquette: Pole Dance Light Painting
I am very excited for this light paint exploration. Lucky for me, I already owned all the equipment I needed in order to test this concept out. All I needed was my Pixel 4 phone, a tripod, and glow sticks! The camera on my phone did not allow for manual configuration, so I downloaded the…
Minecraft Block Maquette
Minecraft Block Maquette Liam Stearns and Kevin Doan Progress During the first week we started with a sketch of the block to check the general idea as of how the block faces will connect together. After agreeing on an idea, Kevin began to 3d model the block and print it, to check sizing and tolerances….
Charles West Maquette Update
Well, the Maquette was certainly… interesting to put together. My original goal for it was to have a functioning mirror box, and have my back transparent mirror to begin testing how that would work. Unfortunately, putting together the mirror box proved to be quite difficult, so purely from time constraints I was forced to simply…
Charles West’s Concept Proposal
The concept I wish to create would be an infinity mirror view box. I wanted to create one showcasing various shapes with led outlines, and even hopefully one with a different background to the typical black void. I was initially partially inspired to do this by one of the early light art pieces we were…
Concept Proposal
Ping Pong Ball LED Light Board Programable array of LED’s that are inserted into Ping-Pong balls to diffuse the light. I’m thinking of making this either a wall piece or attaching a piece of clear acrylic over the top to turn this into a coffee table. I have no experience programming LED array’s so all…

Concept Proposal: Shadow Puppets
Everybody loves shadow puppets, right? They allow you to use your imagination and create different shapes by casting various shadows onto a screen. But what if they could be even better? My idea revolves around having the light cast by a projector and having a camera observing a person casting the shadow, (see the diagram…
Concept Proposal: Long exposure
I have a favorite idea for what I would like to create. I figure I should work with my current toolkit and build upon it. I believe that will be a good way to set myself up for success in the short amount of time we have. With that in mind, my first idea is…
