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.

| 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.
Limit your presentation to 2 to 3 minutes, 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.
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
