Chai Raghupathi and Terrie Joo. Chris Myers. Tangible User Interfaces, Fall 2022 Description In this lab, we are translating rotational motion through a Cuckoo Clock. There are two parts to the clock, an opening/closing door and a bird that comes out of the device. Components Used Felt Cardboard Construction Paper Safety Pins 3D…

Chai Raghupathi. Chris Myers. Tangible User Interfaces, Fall 2022 Description In this lab, we are experimenting with servo motors to play with rotational and linear motion. PART ONE — In part one, we create a circuit with the servo motor that takes in key input between 1–9 to manipulate the servo…

Tangible User Interfaces. Fall 2022 Members: YY Yao, Terrie Joo, Weiying Li, Chaitra Raghupathi, Wenxuan Cai Primer & Speculative Design Cards Service Dog Card If your product was entirely dedicated to empowering the lives of an underserved population, what kind of impact could you make? The learning environment of the class would be more encouraged. The interaction between…

Chai Raghupathi. Chris Myers. Tangible User Interfaces, Fall 2022 Description In this lab, we are experimeting with DC motors. Part One — We start by building this circuit:

Chai Raghupathi. Chris Myers. Tangible User Interfaces, Fall 2022 Description In this lab, we are experimenting with a capacitive sensing. We can design our own touch sensitive sensor from different materials like foil, or even fruits. Part One — Creating a Capacitive Sensor (Figure 1): We can create a capacitive sensor…

Chai Raghupathi. Chris Myers. Tangible User Interfaces, Fall 2022 Description In this lab, we are playing music with piezo speakers. Part One — Introducing Piezo Speakers (Figure 1): We create a circuit according to this tutorial: https://docs.arduino.cc/built-in-examples/digital/toneMelody?queryID=undefined, to make our piezo buzzers play a melody using the tone() function. We use…

Chai Raghupathi, Chris Myers Team Members: YY Yao, Terrie Joo, Weiying Li, Chai Raghupathi, Wenxuan Cai Our Critical Design Today we want to reflect on our preliminary project design and conduct critical and reflective analysis. We started by brainstorming the following prompts: MAIN PROMPT — How might these assumptions, alternative reflective and critical…

Chris Myers. Tangible User Interfaces, Fall 2022 Members: YY Yao, Terrie Joo, Weiying Li, Chaitra Raghupathi, Wenxuan Cai USER CASES: Possible inputs: A note to ourselves: Since this is an ambient support system, we don’t want to add TOO MUCH information to overwhelm teachers who are already dealing with intensive information. Student Facial expressions: confused, happy, distracted, etc — can be captured by…

Chai Raghupathi. Chris Myers. Tangible User Interfaces, Fall 2022 Description In this lab, we use photocells and force sensitive resistors (FSRs) to manipulate I/O for an LED circuit. We use the processing software to visualize these sensors and their I/O. Part One — Photocells (Figure 1): We build a circuit with…
