Assignment week 5

The project that stood out to me this week was "Mood Base." It did not only look artistic, but it's coding was also unique.
This project can determine the mood you are in by your heart beat and through radio waves. Determining on your heart beat, the glowing orb in the bubble can change colors, brightness, and pace. This project also produces a sound that correlates with your mood. When you look on their page, it describes in great detail how it determines your excitement, but in short, it sends out pulses based on your heart beat.
For my final project, I would like to create something that has unique coding to it, people have to interact with it, and it looks aesthetically pleasing, like this project.

Assignment week 6

I propose to control my blow dryer. For my final project I was thinking about doing something like this that would be able to turn on something that blows and can movie things through the air from a distance. I wanted to attach a balloon filled with confetti and hopefully it will blow up the balloon until it pops and confetti flies everywhere. I wanted to use a motion detector that would keep blowing up the balloon if people keep moving, but that wasn't possible.

I will have to use a dawn to dusk sensor at Home Depot in order to plug the blow dryer into. I am going to do this because it's safe, and trying to work with a blow dryer plug and socket would be too dangerous. So when someone shines a light in the sensor, then the blow dryer should turn on. Maybe I could make a game out of it how the people have to keep the flashlight in the sensor and race to see who could blow up the balloon faster. But I will have to see how the sensor works.

Final

The main point of my artwork is to make things look aesthetically pleasing and at the same time, creative and interesting. I have been thinking of many different project ideas and I have been researching online for a good idea. I decided not to research and find out what other people are doing, but instead take the time to think about an aesthetically pleasing project. I came up with the idea that I believe will look professional and be interesting.

I would like to make a project that will display the results of a real survey. It was hard to find an interesting survey that would combine everyone’s interest and I decided to use one that involves murder. I found a survey that displays the results of how others want to murder someone. People could choose from 7 categories of how they want to kill someone. My project will be a board saying “How do others want to kill you?” and the 7 categories listed below. I will put LED’s next to the category that each person has chosen, displaying one person at a time. This way, people will see what other people are thinking, involving everybody’s interest.

This project will not be interactive; it is strictly for look-see and educational purposes. I will code into the arduinio the result of the survey and display the results randomly, one person at a time. Each person’s results will be shown by a LED lighting up.

=== 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

* Bare Bones Freeduinos
