PComp Final Ideas

For this week’s Physical Computing homework, we were to come up with ideas for our final projects. The first part of the final is to create the finished version of our Light and Time project (view posts here, here, and here).

Here is the proposal presentation I put together.

The second part of the final is to create a project in the spirit of Calm Technology (aka ubiquitous technology) and to use a distance sensor to activate the thing. Liz and I both decided to explore moving away from wires and traditional circuits by exploring conductive paint and conductive thread, so we want to work together to design something really great.

Here is our proposal presentation for our final project.

After feedback from Joel and a good re-think, I will be proposing a new idea on Friday for my final project. More details will follow, but here is a sneak pic of what I call EgoBot.
