Bumblebeezz89: /* Final Project */

== '''Final Project''' ==

Loss Prevention

''[[Inspiration]]'':

The inspiration for this project stems from the teddy bears that parents can buy and place in their children's rooms to monitor the babysitter's interaction with them while the parents area away. While discussing this with a friend we came to a realization/question: why do parents have to hide the fact they're trying to protect their kid?

One of the art projects which inspired my final concept is Amy Alexander's surveillance art pieces--specifically SVEN. Her art used surveillance cameras and made a commentary on surveillance in our everyday lives.
http://amy-alexander.com/Alexander_Installation.html

Another art piece that inspired my final project is Rejane Cantoni's Mona Visa. Her art piece reverses that idea of the viewer and the viewed. I liked the idea that the painting would follow the viewers as they walked around the gallery. An interesting reversal of roles.

''[[Concept]]'':

My project is a teddy bear in ammo gear and have one glowing red eye and one terminator eye (a webcam connected to a computer with tracking encoded). The bear's head will turn using servo motors, a PVC pipe, and a wooden/plastic piece. With the original idea, the bear was going to turn its head/camera according to where the person is at (tracking). Essentially it was going to move its head (servo motors) to position its head so it can see people/follow people. For the final I'll move the head using a joystick instead of on its own.

''[[Reason]]'':

My reasoning is that people buy these cute and inconspicuous teddy bear surveillance cameras:

I want to argue that parents shouldn't have to hide a camera inside a bear to protect their child. It should be outright and obvious. The bear will follow the "nanny" making someone feel like they're being watched.

'''Final Project Idea!'''

HoboRoboBear/BareHug/EmotoBear/??

When you walk past the bear the motion sensor will detect you and say "Hug Me" or move one arm (?)
When you pick up the stuffed animal it randomly selects from one of three reactions:

1. HUG!: :] sound $5 buildabear
2. RAWR: Self-made 1" vibrating motor + LED red eyes (flash?)
3. SCARED: poop out gummy bears. two vibrating motor movements. cervo motor corkscrew?

=== Main Board ===

Many different options. All share a common programming environment, common code, and a similar physical layout. The board we are using does not require an external USB adaptor, which means all we need to do to program (and power) it is to plug it into the computer with a USB cable.

Here are some of the variants:

*Arduino
** Arduino Duemilanove http://moderndevice.com/diecimila.shtml
* Freeduinos
** http://www.freeduino.org/buy.html
** http://www.hvwtech.com/products_view.asp?ProductID=682

**http://mcukits.com/2009/03/12/assembling-the-freeduino-board-kit/
* Bare Bones Freeduinos
** Bare Bones Board http://moderndevice.com/index.shtml
** Readlly Bare Bones Board http://moderndevice.com/RBBB_revB.shtml
** require external USB adapter
* Off-board Serial
** FTDI breakout board (with DTR reset) http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8772

'''Morning Monster'''
by: Nick Hardeman

[http://yg.typepad.com/computation09/2009/05/morning-monster-ahhhh.html Morning Monster Project]

This project really caught my eye because of its practicability as well its artistic value. The project's purpose is to make an alarm clock that also opens the blinds as an added 'waking' effect. I guess the idea is similar to the alarm clock on wheels which already exists. That alarm clock runs away the moment the alarm goes off so the sleeper has to go look for the runaway clock when he wakes up. I chose this project because it seemed like a project that was fun to create. He uses the Arduino to run the clock and a moving arm on the monster to move the blinds manually. The Arduino can sense where the position of the blinds are at so that it doesn't overturn the blinds. The blinds are connected to the monster via a radio frequency and code that he wrote. The alarm clock sound comes from a piezo speaker that goes off when the set time is reached.

I am interested in a design that is a working piece of art. One that serves a purpose like this one. I want to integrate the physical adjustments of the environment and have the Ardunio interpret my movements and translate it into whatever I want. I'm also interested in the wireless communication he set up.
