A very rough, sketched-out storyboard to help us clarify our vision for the final documentation video:

It has been a whirlwind of a week! We have come a long way, and our doing our best to operate as well as we can in light of all the chaos involved with campus closures due to COVID-19. For our blog post this week we have a few guiding questions: Where is your projectContinue reading “Week 10 Progress”

Goals for Week 9: Have main room transformations made: test which fabric we want to project on, fabric hung, room shape custom to how we want it Fix bug in code: when phone is removed, the p5 sketch stops and is ready to be actuated again Refine enclosures: embed circuits inside, add drywall mud, repaintContinue reading “Week 9 Progress”

Finish p5 progression (5 minutes, colors incorporated) Refine Neopixel colors for environments and try to make more dynamic Finish pedestal Finish integrating all audio, visual and serial components Timeline and blueprints for making everything modular Finish p5 Progression This week, we extended our p5 visualization to be a full 5 minutes with the 5 colorContinue reading “Week 8 Progress”

Goals for Week 6: enclosures complete and installed large-scale neo-pixel installed projection screen installed and working setting up speakers to be connected to computer What We Accomplished & Learned: Enclosure Fabrication Fabricating our enclosures comprised the bulk of the work for this week. While we had gotten our materials last week, this week we hadContinue reading “Week 6 Progress”

Our second feedback session for this week was with Zack Weaver. Zack is very active in a local makerspace, as well as curating the Maker Made Exhibition here at the Boulder Public Library. We met Zack this semester as he is teaching the Object class while our other mentor Arielle is on maternity leave, andContinue reading “Mentor Review #2: Zack Weaver”

Goals for Week 5: Make and paint enclosures for RFID tags out of self-drying clay Get materials for control panel enclosure Mentor feedback sessions (Arielle and Zack) Poke Sheiva about space What We Accomplished & Learned: Make and paint enclosures for RFID tags out of self-drying clay Our classmate Sara pointed us towards self-drying clay,Continue reading “Week 5 Progress”

For our first mentor review, we met with our actual mentor for our Capstone project, Arielle Hein. Arielle was our original teacher when we took the Object physical computing class in ATLAS, and we’ve worked with her for a couple of years now. She was in California at the time of our meeting, so weContinue reading “Mentor Review #1: Arielle Hein”

Goals for Week 4: Integrate fractals into RFID/lights/sound code so that different RFID tags change the colors of the fractal Getting power supply working with lots of Neopixels Advanced fractal visualization with rectangular format Equalize audio tracks Consult pottery expert (Nate’s aunt) on logistics and details for crafting ceramic tag holders Consider interaction within theContinue reading “Week 4 Progress”

Goals for Week 3: Have phone slot prototype ready for user testing Have 3 fractal visualizations for user testing Have sound and lights working with RFID Rough prototypes complete for user controls Scheduling / logistics for finding your users for testing What We Accomplished & Learned: Phone Slot Prototype To develop a phone slot prototype,Continue reading “Week 3 Progress”
