Final Project

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006

Bit-by-bit Music Jamming Network
Midterm concept revisited.
After many problems with the RFID kit, I was forced to rethink about certain issues about my original concept. A key one is cost and difficulty of the tools – is this key to the essence of the interaction I want to enable? No it is not. […]

TI-RFID Progress

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006

I’ve been working with the TI (RI-STU-MRD1) Reader for the past 3 weeks and it has been giving me a bit of trouble. In hindsight, I think that I should have chosen a model more commonly used by the ITP community, just so I could have more people to turn to for help and more […]

Haptic Textiles

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

We’ve been focusing our research efforts in areas that would provide assistance to those with Rhett Syndrome.
In thinking about the personal needs of Ysold, a girl with Rhett, we are looking at addressing needs for bodily stimulation and support.
We’ve been discussing developing a range of textiles that would provide sensory/haptic feedback that then we could […]

Midterm Ideas

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

I like audio fragments, physical movement and pieces of recorded experience that are manipulated. That is where the intersections are happening.
Idea One:
Spacial-temporal sound walk.
I’ve been wanting to explore this idea for a while, and perhaps a Networked Objects assignment may be a good fit. Working with Final Cut Pro and playing with the […]
