Week 1
Alice and I (Becca) decided to team up for the self-directed programming project. So far we managed to come up with a tentative idea for our project. I wanted to do something that incorporates LED's and Alice wanted to do interactive by using sound, particularly with the audience speaking or yelling. I suggested we use the Arduino so we can incorporate both into the project. By this, I mean we're planning on using programmable RGB LED's and a mic sensor. We ended up briefly discussing a few ideas that we ended up scrapping such as: - a heartbeat that lights up when sound is introduced (ex, it is made of LEDS and it beats faster the more sound there is) - A scream bar (kind of like the scream canisters from Monsters Inc , where it fills up higher the more sound there is) - something comedic (this line of thinking didn't really go anywhere) An artist we found inspiration from was Jie Qi, particularly her work Dandelion Painting . It's an interactive piece that create...
