Camera Keyboard - Joeny Thipsidakhom

Joeny Thipsidakhom: /* Documentation */

== Description ==
*Motivation
Same as Midterm

I’m interested in virtual space/realms and how it interacts with the physical world or how the physical world interacts with virtual space, whether it’s through games and a controller, being a part of a physical place in a parallel virtual world, or through actual physical movement. I’m also what people may consider a “gamer” and interested in the whole interaction interface they use, whether its web-cams, standard controllers, motion controllers, etc and how those affect the way we interact with the virtual.
*Interactive paradigm
I'm going to attempt to create a sort of game/animation that uses the brightness tracking of Processing and an external controller for inputs. As the brightness spot moves so will the character in the game would too (left, right, up, down) and as you press a button on the controller it would cause something on screen.

UPDATE: I'm going to be using Processing's brightness tracking along with a virtual keyboard created in Processing to control the movements of a game character. The user/users will have to navigate virtual space using hand held light sources and a web-cam paired with Processing's brightness tracking.
*Technical Description
Processing and an external controller. Brightness tracking would allow for character movement while the external controller would allow for user inputs and secondary interaction. I'll create some sort of simple game/environment/animation in processing which to user would have to interact with.

UPDATE: Processing and two external light sources along with a web-cam. Brightness tracking will track the two light sources and depending on the area Processing picks up the light sources it will cause virtual typing of the keyboard. This will be paired with another Processing sketch in the form of a game. Either two people can control the game, or a single person by themselves.

UPDATE: Processing and two external light sources along with a web-cam. Brightness tracking will track the two light sources and depending on the area Processing picks up the light sources it will cause virtual typing of the keyboard. This will be paired with another Processing sketch in the form of a game. Either two people can control the game, or a single person by themselves.

Camera Keyboard - Joeny Thipsidakhom

Joeny Thipsidakhom: /* Documentation */

== Description ==
*Motivation
Same as Midterm

I’m interested in virtual space/realms and how it interacts with the physical world or how the physical world interacts with virtual space, whether it’s through games and a controller, being a part of a physical place in a parallel virtual world, or through actual physical movement. I’m also what people may consider a “gamer” and interested in the whole interaction interface they use, whether its web-cams, standard controllers, motion controllers, etc and how those affect the way we interact with the virtual.
*Interactive paradigm
I'm going to attempt to create a sort of game/animation that uses the brightness tracking of Processing and an external controller for inputs. As the brightness spot moves so will the character in the game would too (left, right, up, down) and as you press a button on the controller it would cause something on screen.

UPDATE: I'm going to be using Processing's brightness tracking along with a virtual keyboard created in Processing to control the movements of a game character. The user/users will have to navigate virtual space using hand held light sources and a web-cam paired with Processing's brightness tracking.
*Technical Description
Processing and an external controller. Brightness tracking would allow for character movement while the external controller would allow for user inputs and secondary interaction. I'll create some sort of simple game/environment/animation in processing which to user would have to interact with.

Camera Keyboard - Joeny Thipsidakhom

2010-06-05T07:37:31Z

Joeny Thipsidakhom: /* Documentation */

== Description ==
*Motivation
Same as Midterm

I’m interested in virtual space/realms and how it interacts with the physical world or how the physical world interacts with virtual space, whether it’s through games and a controller, being a part of a physical place in a parallel virtual world, or through actual physical movement. I’m also what people may consider a “gamer” and interested in the whole interaction interface they use, whether its web-cams, standard controllers, motion controllers, etc and how those affect the way we interact with the virtual.
*Interactive paradigm
I'm going to attempt to create a sort of game/animation that uses the brightness tracking of Processing and an external controller for inputs. As the brightness spot moves so will the character in the game would too (left, right, up, down) and as you press a button on the controller it would cause something on screen.

UPDATE: I'm going to be using Processing's brightness tracking along with a virtual keyboard created in Processing to control the movements of a game character. The user/users will have to navigate virtual space using hand held light sources and a web-cam paired with Processing's brightness tracking.
*Technical Description
Processing and an external controller. Brightness tracking would allow for character movement while the external controller would allow for user inputs and secondary interaction. I'll create some sort of simple game/environment/animation in processing which to user would have to interact with.

UPDATE: Processing and two external light sources along with a web-cam. Brightness tracking will track the two light sources and depending on the area Processing picks up the light sources it will cause virtual typing of the keyboard. This will be paired with another Processing sketch in the form of a game. Either two people can control the game, or a single person by themselves.

Virtual Walk? - Joeny Thipsidakhom

2010-06-05T07:32:51Z

Joeny Thipsidakhom: /* Documentation */

== Virtual Walk? ==

== Description ==
*Motivation

I’m interested in virtual space/realms and how it interacts with the physical world or how the physical world interacts with virtual space, whether it’s through games and a controller, being a part of a physical place in a parallel virtual world, or through actual physical movement. I’m also what people may consider a “gamer” and interested in the whole interaction interface they use, whether its web-cams, standard controllers, motion controllers, etc and how those affect the way we interact with the virtual.

*Interactive paradigm

For now I think I’ll keep it somewhat simple and add to it as I get the general concept working. Basically, I want to create something that takes real world physical movements, like walking, or turning of a person’s head, and translate that to movement/interaction in a virtual space. For example, physical walking would cause your virtual character to walk.

*Technical Description

I’ll be using the accelerometers in wiimotes to gather movement values of a person and using a program like processing to translate the values into movement in a virtual space. Multiple wiimotes will be used, in fact two will be used, to measure a person’s walking movement and head movement. I’ll either create something in processing that will interact with the person’s movement or use/create a virtual 3D space in which the person’s virtual avatar would move around in according to the person’s movement.

*Visual Concept

[[Image:VIS 145B Visual.jpg|700px]]

== Documentation ==
*Description
The project ended up being a combination of virtual space and real world space where two people would navigate the virtual space together. The first person with the wiimotes attached to them would navigate real world space and virtual space, however without really knowing their position in virtual space, the second would be at a computer screen relaying directions to the first person to where to go in the virtual space while the first person would have to troubleshoot ways to navigate both spaces, avoiding real world and virtual obstacles.

Virtual Walk? - Joeny Thipsidakhom

2010-06-05T07:31:11Z

Joeny Thipsidakhom: /* Documentation */

== Virtual Walk? ==

== Description ==
*Motivation

I’m interested in virtual space/realms and how it interacts with the physical world or how the physical world interacts with virtual space, whether it’s through games and a controller, being a part of a physical place in a parallel virtual world, or through actual physical movement. I’m also what people may consider a “gamer” and interested in the whole interaction interface they use, whether its web-cams, standard controllers, motion controllers, etc and how those affect the way we interact with the virtual.

*Interactive paradigm

For now I think I’ll keep it somewhat simple and add to it as I get the general concept working. Basically, I want to create something that takes real world physical movements, like walking, or turning of a person’s head, and translate that to movement/interaction in a virtual space. For example, physical walking would cause your virtual character to walk.

*Technical Description

I’ll be using the accelerometers in wiimotes to gather movement values of a person and using a program like processing to translate the values into movement in a virtual space. Multiple wiimotes will be used, in fact two will be used, to measure a person’s walking movement and head movement. I’ll either create something in processing that will interact with the person’s movement or use/create a virtual 3D space in which the person’s virtual avatar would move around in according to the person’s movement.

== Visualization ==
*Functional Diagrams

[USER] -> [Accelerometer/Wiimote + USER Motion] -> [Processing/Wiimote-to-PC Communication] -> [Screen/Visual]

*Visual Concept

[[Image:VIS 145B Visual.jpg|700px]]

== Documentation ==
*Description
The project ended up being a combination of virtual space and real world space where two people would navigate the virtual space together. The first person with the wiimotes attached to them would navigate real world space and virtual space, however without really knowing their position in virtual space, the second would be at a computer screen relaying directions to the first person to where to go in the virtual space while the first person would have to troubleshoot ways to navigate both spaces, avoiding real world and virtual obstacles.

== Time and Process Based Digital Media II ==
Time: Thursdays 3:30-6:20pm, VAF 228

This class is an advanced study and portfolio project course centered on the use of hardware and software to create interactive and time-based art. These projects can take many forms—interactive installations, dynamic visualizations/sonifications, printed renderings—chosen by the students. This will not be a course of technical instruction—rather we will consider technical and conceptual issues in tandem, supplementing discussions and activities with specific technical instruction where necessary. There is a strong emphasis on the development and articulation of personal directions of research by the students in the course.

I would like to split the reading/homework responsibility for two parts of the class. In the first half of the term I will present a series of works and readings covering my particular interests--the intersections of social performance, embodied experience, and cognition. In the latter half of the class (after the midterm) you all will do the presentations on topics of your choosing. Working individually or in small groups, you will provide us with some conceptual provocation (reading material) covering topics you intend to engage with your final, and you will lead a discussion on technical and conceptual issues. Reading and critical writing, in response to text and works you present and those I present, are integral to this course.

The schedule is a living document and will be revised over the period of the course.

*http://crca.ucsd.edu

Office Hours: Wednesday 3-4pm, Atkinson Hall Rm 1601 (CRCA research neighborhood). Please e-mail me if you plan to attend.

== Grading ==
*Midterm Project - 30%
*Final Project - 40%
*Presentations - 10%
*Readings/Assignments/Homework - 10%
*Participation - 10%

=== Presentations ===
(1) Short presentation on your work in the second week of class. This should be a statement of your interests, direction, goals with media art. Present examples from your own work which you feel strongly about, and which best represent your interests and trajectory. Present examples of other artist's work that serve as models for the kind of work you would like to make. (5-10 minutes each)

(2) Medium presentation on final projects in the second semester of the course (weeks 7-9). This is the portion of the class where you dictate the reading and the discussion. If you are presenting on a given week, you need to provide us with a reading 1 week in advance. We will sign up for those time slots in week 6, just after the midterm. (10-15 minutes)

=== Reading Responses ===
These are written summaries and critical responses to materials assigned for out of class viewing. Things to consider: What points does the author make? Do you buy their assumptions or agree with their conclusions? Reading responses will be printed and turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. Generally these should be 1 page long.

=== Projects ===
Midterm and final projects will be graded on concept, effort, and realization. Formal proposals are a necessary component of the process so take them seriously. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will all be posted to the wiki.
=== Documentation Policy ===
*section on your project
*source code
*image/video documentation. 5 images or 5 videos.
*descriptive writing (on intent, motivation, context)

=== Attendance ===
Attendance is mandatory. Each unexcused absence will drop your final grade one letter. There are only 10 weeks of class, please come to them all.

**Working alone or in small groups, do experiments with video processing and computer vision.

=== Week 4 - Computer Vision Work ===
* In Class:
** Work on computer vision projects
** Talk about midterm projects.

=== Week 5 - Midterm Workshop ===
*Due: Midterm project proposal.
**Working individually or in small groups (2-3 people), produce an interactive piece that bridges the gap between screen space and physical space. There are many ways to do this--using image-based computer vision techniques, game controllers, audio input, or other physical hardware (Arduino?). Think about the parameters of interaction--are you documenting viewer's behavior (unknown to them), are you taking a familiar form (such as a video game) and tweaking it in some way, are you intervening in social space? Think about what form the output will take. In your one page proposal, describe the input(s), output(s), and dynamic of interaction, as well as some statement of your motivation. Why is this a valuable or interesting project? In addition to the written description, produce supporting visual materials. These should be two functional diagram images and two visual/aesthetic images. The functional diagrams should show the necessary software and hardware components and explain how the interaction will occur. The aesthetic diagrams will give us a sense of what it will look like, how the output will appear. Make a page for your project (including a title) in the Midterm Projects section at the bottom of this page, upload the necessary materials and embed them in that page. This proposal is due in class next week where we will critique and workshop the ideas.
*In class:
**Workshop midterm project ideas. (45 minutes)
**Work on midterm projects.
*NOTE: Best of ICAM from Candy Harris. There will be an install in the annex here at Mandeville and presentations at the Experimental Theater in the CPMC (music building). They should come see what they are going to have to live up to for their final projects. Plus the keynote speakers (ICAM alumns) always have great info about career paths after graduation.

=== Week 6 ===
In class work on midterms.

=== Week 7 - Midterm Critiques ===
In class critique of midterms.

=== Week 8 ===

Due: Written response (1 page) to one of your classmate's projects.

In Class: Draft final project proposal and post to wiki by the end of class. In class discussion as needed.

=== Week 9 ===

Joeny Thipsidakhom: /* Documentation */

== Untitled ==

== Description ==
*Motivation
Same as Midterm

I’m interested in virtual space/realms and how it interacts with the physical world or how the physical world interacts with virtual space, whether it’s through games and a controller, being a part of a physical place in a parallel virtual world, or through actual physical movement. I’m also what people may consider a “gamer” and interested in the whole interaction interface they use, whether its web-cams, standard controllers, motion controllers, etc and how those affect the way we interact with the virtual.
*Interactive paradigm
I'm going to attempt to create a sort of game/animation that uses the brightness tracking of Processing and an external controller for inputs. As the brightness spot moves so will the character in the game would too (left, right, up, down) and as you press a button on the controller it would cause something on screen.
*Technical Description
Processing and an external controller. Brightness tracking would allow for character movement while the external controller would allow for user inputs and secondary interaction. I'll create some sort of simple game/environment/animation in processing which to user would have to interact with.

Present examples of other artist's work that serve as models for the kind of work you would like to make. (5-10 minutes each)

(2) Medium presentation on final projects in the second semester of the course (weeks 7-9). This is the portion of the class where you dictate the reading and the discussion. If you are presenting on a given week, you need to provide us with a reading 1 week in advance. We will sign up for those time slots in week 6, just after the midterm. (10-15 minutes)

=== Reading Responses ===
These are written summaries and critical responses to materials assigned for out of class viewing. Things to consider: What points does the author make? Do you buy their assumptions or agree with their conclusions? Reading responses will be printed and turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. Generally these should be 1 page long.

=== Projects ===
Midterm and final projects will be graded on concept, effort, and realization. Formal proposals are a necessary component of the process so take them seriously. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will all be posted to the wiki.
=== Documentation Policy ===
*section on your project
*source code
*image/video documentation. 5 images or 5 videos.
*descriptive writing (on intent, motivation, context)

=== Attendance ===
Attendance is mandatory. Each unexcused absence will drop your final grade one letter. There are only 10 weeks of class, please come to them all.

**face recognition
*In Class:
**Working alone or in small groups, do experiments with video processing and computer vision.

=== Week 4 - Computer Vision Work ===
* In Class:
** Work on computer vision projects
** Talk about midterm projects.

=== Week 5 - Midterm Workshop ===
*Due: Midterm project proposal.
**Working individually or in small groups (2-3 people), produce an interactive piece that bridges the gap between screen space and physical space. There are many ways to do this--using image-based computer vision techniques, game controllers, audio input, or other physical hardware (Arduino?). Think about the parameters of interaction--are you documenting viewer's behavior (unknown to them), are you taking a familiar form (such as a video game) and tweaking it in some way, are you intervening in social space? Think about what form the output will take. In your one page proposal, describe the input(s), output(s), and dynamic of interaction, as well as some statement of your motivation. Why is this a valuable or interesting project? In addition to the written description, produce supporting visual materials. These should be two functional diagram images and two visual/aesthetic images. The functional diagrams should show the necessary software and hardware components and explain how the interaction will occur. The aesthetic diagrams will give us a sense of what it will look like, how the output will appear. Make a page for your project (including a title) in the Midterm Projects section at the bottom of this page, upload the necessary materials and embed them in that page. This proposal is due in class next week where we will critique and workshop the ideas.
*In class:
**Workshop midterm project ideas. (45 minutes)
**Work on midterm projects.
*NOTE: Best of ICAM from Candy Harris. There will be an install in the annex here at Mandeville and presentations at the Experimental Theater in the CPMC (music building). They should come see what they are going to have to live up to for their final projects. Plus the keynote speakers (ICAM alumns) always have great info about career paths after graduation.

=== Week 6 ===

Joeny Thipsidakhom: /* Midterm Projects */

== Time and Process Based Digital Media II ==
Time: Thursdays 3:30-6:20pm, VAF 228

This class is an advanced study and portfolio project course centered on the use of hardware and software to create interactive and time-based art. These projects can take many forms—interactive installations, dynamic visualizations/sonifications, printed renderings—chosen by the students. This will not be a course of technical instruction—rather we will consider technical and conceptual issues in tandem, supplementing discussions and activities with specific technical instruction where necessary. There is a strong emphasis on the development and articulation of personal directions of research by the students in the course.

I would like to split the reading/homework responsibility for two parts of the class. In the first half of the term I will present a series of works and readings covering my particular interests--the intersections of social performance, embodied experience, and cognition. In the latter half of the class (after the midterm) you all will do the presentations on topics of your choosing. Working individually or in small groups, you will provide us with some conceptual provocation (reading material) covering topics you intend to engage with your final, and you will lead a discussion on technical and conceptual issues. Reading and critical writing, in response to text and works you present and those I present, are integral to this course.

The schedule is a living document and will be revised over the period of the course.

If you are presenting on a given week, you need to provide us with a reading 1 week in advance. We will sign up for those time slots in week 6, just after the midterm. (10-15 minutes)

=== Reading Responses ===
These are written summaries and critical responses to materials assigned for out of class viewing. Things to consider: What points does the author make? Do you buy their assumptions or agree with their conclusions? Reading responses will be printed and turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. Generally these should be 1 page long.

=== Projects ===
Midterm and final projects will be graded on concept, effort, and realization. Formal proposals are a necessary component of the process so take them seriously. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will all be posted to the wiki.
=== Documentation Policy ===
*personal wiki page

Joeny Thipsidakhom: /* Student Pages */

== Time and Process Based Digital Media II ==
Time: Thursdays 3:30-6:20pm, VAF 228

This class is an advanced study and portfolio project course centered on the use of hardware and software to create interactive and time-based art. These projects can take many forms—interactive installations, dynamic visualizations/sonifications, printed renderings—chosen by the students. This will not be a course of technical instruction—rather we will consider technical and conceptual issues in tandem, supplementing discussions and activities with specific technical instruction where necessary. There is a strong emphasis on the development and articulation of personal directions of research by the students in the course.

I would like to split the reading/homework responsibility for two parts of the class. In the first half of the term I will present a series of works and readings covering my particular interests--the intersections of social performance, embodied experience, and cognition. In the latter half of the class (after the midterm) you all will do the presentations on topics of your choosing. Working individually or in small groups, you will provide us with some conceptual provocation (reading material) covering topics you intend to engage with your final, and you will lead a discussion on technical and conceptual issues. Reading and critical writing, in response to text and works you present and those I present, are integral to this course.

Office Hours: Wednesday 3-4pm, Atkinson Hall Rm 1601 (CRCA research neighborhood). Please e-mail me if you plan to attend.

== Grading ==
*Midterm Project - 30%
*Final Project - 40%
*Presentations - 10%
*Readings - 10%
*Participation - 10%

=== Presentations ===
(1) Short presentation on your work in the second week of class. This should be a statement of your interests, direction, goals with media art. Present examples from your own work which you feel strongly about, and which best represent your interests and trajectory. Present examples of other artist's work that serve as models for the kind of work you would like to make. (5-10 minutes each)

(2) Medium presentation on final projects in the second semester of the course (weeks 7-9). This is the portion of the class where you dictate the reading and the discussion. If you are presenting on a given week, you need to provide us with a reading 1 week in advance. We will sign up for those time slots in week 6, just after the midterm. (10-15 minutes)

=== Reading Responses ===
These are written summaries and critical responses to materials assigned for out of class viewing. Things to consider: What points does the author make? Do you buy their assumptions or agree with their conclusions? Reading responses will be printed and turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. Generally these should be 1 page long.

=== Projects ===
Midterm and final projects will be graded on concept, effort, and realization. Formal proposals are a necessary component of the process so take them seriously. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will all be posted to the wiki.
=== Documentation Policy ===
*personal wiki page
*source code on wiki
*image/video documentation where appropriate.
*explanatory writing (on intent, motivation, context)

=== Attendance ===
Attendance is mandatory. Each unexcused absence will drop your final grade one letter. There are only 10 weeks of class, please come to them all.

Joeny Thipsidakhom: /* FINAL Images */

== About Me ==
Hello,

My name is Joeny Thipsidakhom. I'm a fourth year Visual Arts major with an emphasis on computing. I'm taking this class not only for a major requirement but also because I'm interested technology and the whole idea of interactivity between the user and whatever electronic item/interface is used. I've been interested in newly developed technology and where its going since I got my first computer, however my interest in electronics came about during my high school years. I have some previous experience with electronics. During my high school freshman year I joined my school's robotics team and was apart of the electronics section/team. We were in charge of wiring the electronics components together for the robot. I was apart of this club/team throughout high school and proceeded to help the local high school's robotics team during my freshman year of college. Sounds fancy (maybe?) but I just followed the electronics schematic that the organization, FIRST Robotics, provided the teams and adjusted it to whatever the mechanical team wanted in terms of number and type of motors.

== MIDTERM Proposal ==

For the Midterm switch project I want to create a more complicated form of light switch maybe using motors, some type of pulley system, and variable control over speed of the motors. One motor would close the switch allowing the light to turn on, while the other motor would open the switch pulling on it breaking the circuit and in turn turning the light off. The motors and switch would be separated by a simple pulley system allowing the motors to pull on strings opening and closing the switch and completing the circuit.

[[Image:concept.jpg|200px]]

== MIDTERM Images ==

[[Image:on.jpg|200px]] ON

[[Image:off.jpg|200px]] OFF

== FINAL Proposal ==

For the final project I am going to create an object that interacts with the user when it is triggered. The interaction will be simple, however when the user does a certain thing to the object, a black box, it will react and give a response to the user.

I want to create something that actively engages the user in some manner, get the user involved, and speaks to the user, even if it’s not in a language most people would understand or know. In order to interact with the box a particular motion/interaction has to be done, and the box will only respond to that interaction. To initiate this interaction I'm going to use a piezo sensor. For now what the sensor is going to do is detect if the user taps or knocks on the box and the black box will respond in Morse code and say something to the user. Once I get that code and circuit established I'll work on adding to its to make it more complex.

[[Image:InitialCircuit.jpg|200px]]
Starting/Initial Stage Circuit Drawing

== FINAL Description & Images ==

What the final ended up being was a blackbox that wanted/needed user attention and interacted with the user. When the user wasn't holding down a button, that told the blackbox the user was there, the blackbox would blink in Morse code and make a noise via a motor to get the user's attention. When the blackbox knew the user was there then it would respond to the user's input via a button and piezo sensor. When the second button was pressed the user's light would speak to the blackbox in Morse code, and the blackbox would respond. If the user hit the blackbox for any reason, the piezo sensor would trigger and the blackbox would respond.

== About Me ==
Hello,

My name is Joeny Thipsidakhom. I'm a fourth year Visual Arts major with an emphasis on computing. I'm taking this class not only for a major requirement but also because I'm interested technology and the whole idea of interactivity between the user and whatever electronic item/interface is used. I've been interested in newly developed technology and where its going since I got my first computer, however my interest in electronics came about during my high school years. I have some previous experience with electronics. During my high school freshman year I joined my school's robotics team and was apart of the electronics section/team. We were in charge of wiring the electronics components together for the robot.

== MIDTERM Proposal ==

For the Midterm switch project I want to create a more complicated form of light switch maybe using motors, some type of pulley system, and variable control over speed of the motors. One motor would close the switch allowing the light to turn on, while the other motor would open the switch pulling on it breaking the circuit and in turn turning the light off. The motors and switch would be separated by a simple pulley system allowing the motors to pull on strings opening and closing the switch and completing the circuit.

== FINAL Proposal ==

For the final project I am going to create an object that interacts with the user when it is triggered. The interaction will be simple, however when the user does a certain thing to the object, a black box, it will react and give a response to the user.

I want to create something that actively engages the user in some manner, get the user involved, and speaks to the user, even if it’s not in a language most people would understand or know. In order to interact with the box a particular motion/interaction has to be done, and the box will only respond to that interaction. To initiate this interaction I'm going to use a piezo sensor. For now what the sensor is going to do is detect if the user taps or knocks on the box and the black box will respond in Morse code and say something to the user. Once I get that code and circuit established I'll work on adding to its to make it more complex.

What the final ended up being was a blackbox that wanted/needed user attention and interacted with the user. When the user wasn't holding down a button, that told the blackbox the user was there, the blackbox would blink in Morse code and make a noise via a motor to get the user's attention. When the blackbox knew the user was there then it would respond to the user's input via a button and piezo sensor. When the second button was pressed the user's light would speak to the blackbox in Morse code, and the blackbox would respond. If the user hit the blackbox for any reason, the piezo sensor would trigger and the blackbox would respond.

== About Me ==
Hello,

My name is Joeny Thipsidakhom. I'm a fourth year Visual Arts major with an emphasis on computing. I'm taking this class not only for a major requirement but also because I'm interested technology and the whole idea of interactivity between the user and whatever electronic item/interface is used. I've been interested in newly developed technology and where its going since I got my first computer, however my interest in electronics came about during my high school years. I have some previous experience with electronics. During my high school freshman year I joined my school's robotics team and was apart of the electronics section/team. We were in charge of wiring the electronics components together for the robot. I was apart of this club/team throughout high school and proceeded to help the local high school's robotics team during my freshman year of college. Sounds fancy (maybe?) but I just followed the electronics schematic that the organization, FIRST Robotics, provided the teams and adjusted it to whatever the mechanical team wanted in terms of number and type of motors.

== About Me ==
Hello,

My name is Joeny Thipsidakhom. I'm a fourth year Visual Arts major with an emphasis on computing. I'm taking this class not only for a major requirement but also because I'm interested technology and the whole idea of interactivity between the user and whatever electronic item/interface is used. I've been interested in newly developed technology and where its going since I got my first computer, however my interest in electronics came about during my high school years. I have some previous experience with electronics. During my high school freshman year I joined my school's robotics team and was apart of the electronics section/team. We were in charge of wiring the electronics components together for the robot. I was apart of this club/team throughout high school and proceeded to help the local high school's robotics team during my freshman year of college. Sounds fancy (maybe?) but I just followed the electronics schematic that the organization, FIRST Robotics, provided the teams and adjusted it to whatever the mechanical team wanted in terms of number and type of motors.

== MIDTERM Proposal ==

For the Midterm switch project I want to create a more complicated form of light switch maybe using motors, some type of pulley system, and variable control over speed of the motors. One motor would close the switch allowing the light to turn on, while the other motor would open the switch pulling on it breaking the circuit and in turn turning the light off. The motors and switch would be separated by a simple pulley system allowing the motors to pull on strings opening and closing the switch and completing the circuit.

== FINAL Proposal ==

For the final project I am going to create an object that interacts with the user when it is triggered. The interaction will be simple, however when the user does a certain thing to the object, a black box, it will react and give a response to the user.

I want to create something that actively engages the user in some manner, get the user involved, and speaks to the user, even if it’s not in a language most people would understand or know. In order to interact with the box a particular motion/interaction has to be done, and the box will only respond to that interaction. To initiate this interaction I'm going to use a piezo sensor. For now what the sensor is going to do is detect if the user taps or knocks on the box and the black box will respond in Morse code and say something to the user. Once I get that code and circuit established I'll work on adding to its to make it more complex.

Joeny Thipsidakhom:

Hello,

My name is Joeny Thipsidakhom. I'm a fourth year Visual Arts major with an emphasis on computing. I'm taking this class not only for a major requirement but also because I'm interested technology and the whole idea of interactivity between the user and whatever electronic item/interface is used. I've been interested in newly developed technology and where its going since I got my first computer, however my interest in electronics came about during my high school years. I have some previous experience with electronics. During my high school freshman year I joined my school's robotics team and was apart of the electronics section/team. We were in charge of wiring the electronics components together for the robot. I was apart of this club/team throughout high school and proceeded to help the local high school's robotics team during my freshman year of college. Sounds fancy (maybe?) but I just followed the electronics schematic that the organization, FIRST Robotics, provided the teams and adjusted it to whatever the mechanical team wanted in terms of number and type of motors.

== Midterm Proposal ==

For the Midterm switch project I want to create a more complicated form of light switch maybe using motors, some type of pulley system, and variable control over speed of the motors. One motor would close the switch allowing the light to turn on, while the other motor would open the switch pulling on it breaking the circuit and in turn turning the light off. The motors and switch would be separated by a simple pulley system allowing the motors to pull on strings opening and closing the switch and completing the circuit.

[[Image:concept.jpg|200px]]

== FINAL Proposal ==

For the final project I am going to create an object that interacts with the user when it is triggered. The interaction will be simple, however when the user does a certain thing to the object, a black box, it will react and give a response to the user.

I want to create something that actively engages the user in some manner, get the user involved, and speaks to the user, even if it’s not in a language most people would understand or know. In order to interact with the box a particular motion/interaction has to be done, and the box will only respond to that interaction. To initiate this interaction I'm going to use a piezo sensor. For now what the sensor is going to do is detect if the user taps or knocks on the box and the black box will respond in Morse code and say something to the user. Once I get that code and circuit established I'll work on adding to its to make it more complex.

Joeny Thipsidakhom: /* FINAL Code */

Hello,

My name is Joeny Thipsidakhom. I'm a fourth year Visual Arts major with an emphasis on computing. I'm taking this class not only for a major requirement but also because I'm interested technology and the whole idea of interactivity between the user and whatever electronic item/interface is used. I've been interested in newly developed technology and where its going since I got my first computer, however my interest in electronics came about during my high school years. I have some previous experience with electronics. During my high school freshman year I joined my school's robotics team and was apart of the electronics section/team. We were in charge of wiring the electronics components together for the robot. I was apart of this club/team throughout high school and proceeded to help the local high school's robotics team during my freshman year of college. Sounds fancy (maybe?) but I just followed the electronics schematic that the organization, FIRST Robotics, provided the teams and adjusted it to whatever the mechanical team wanted in terms of number and type of motors.

== Midterm Proposal ==

For the Midterm switch project I want to create a more complicated form of light switch maybe using motors, some type of pulley system, and variable control over speed of the motors. One motor would close the switch allowing the light to turn on, while the other motor would open the switch pulling on it breaking the circuit and in turn turning the light off. The motors and switch would be separated by a simple pulley system allowing the motors to pull on strings opening and closing the switch and completing the circuit.

== FINAL Proposal ==

For the final project I am going to create an object that interacts with the user when it is triggered. The interaction will be simple, however when the user does a certain thing to the object, a black box, it will react and give a response to the user.

I want to create something that actively engages the user in some manner, get the user involved, and speaks to the user, even if it’s not in a language most people would understand or know. In order to interact with the box a particular motion/interaction has to be done, and the box will only respond to that interaction. To initiate this interaction I'm going to use a piezo sensor. For now what the sensor is going to do is detect if the user taps or knocks on the box and the black box will respond in Morse code and say something to the user. Once I get that code and circuit established I'll work on adding to its to make it more complex.
