Minor Project: Input-Output matrix (individual)
Develop an interactive device, taking inputs from one sensor and providing a physical output such as lights or movement. Each student must make at least two devices.
Make a comment in the google doc link, with your name to indicate what object you will pick first.

| Sound (Buzzer or Loudspeaker) | Movement (Motor, Solenoid, Servo) | Light (LED, neopixel, lightbulb, laser) | Tactile (vibration motor, actuator, Peltier element) | Graphic Display (OLED, LCD, 7 segments, Printer, laptop screen with Processing) | |
| Sound (microphone, piezo) | |||||
| Movement (distance, motion, gesture, gyro, pressure, flex sensor) | |||||
| Atmospheric (Temperature, humidity, air quality, pressure) | |||||
Bio-sensor (Pulse, GSR, EMG) | |||||
| Light (colour, luminance, IR) | |||||
| Touch (buttons, pressure, capacitance) |
Minor project Presentation:
Record a video of each of your objects demonstrating the basic functionality, like the title image of Physical Computing 2019 (some creativity may be required for Tactile Feedback). There is a photo corner set up in the lab for this purpose, that can be accessed on Wednesday and Thursday.
Limit your presentation to 4 or 5 slides, to communicate the outcome, the resources you used when developing your prototype (tutorials, data sheets etc) and any discoveries that might be of interest to your peers. Live demonstrations will be kept until after the presentations. Most of you will need to recycle components for the 2nd or 3rd prototype, so it is not mandatory to have a working prototype at the presentations itself.
Major Project: (groups of 2 to 3 students)
Create an interactive device that attempts to build empathy through human-like behaviour. What technological requirements are there for such behaviour to be apparent? How does emotion assist improve interaction with this device? What inputs and outputs are necessary/suitable for such interaction?
The major project is inclusive of:
- Ideation: Moodboard, Brainstorming and Sketches
- Iterative prototyping of interaction
- Final prototype
- Project presentation
