Project 2

Module 2

Group Project made in collaboration with Ada Walia and Haniya Butt

Workshop 1 Guerrilla Prototyping I

Initial cutting of all the pieces.

Here is the glueing of the phone stand pieces.>

This is the first prototype of the phone holder done.

Second Prototype showing the hole for the charger.

The third prototype added more cardboard to the bottom to allow the phone stand to rest on the table without the wire in the way.

Workshop 2 Guerrilla Prototyping II

Group Idea Generation

Askinf for feedback from peers; taking notes

First rapid design sketch we did

Guerilla Prototype, this was made in less than 5 minutes

Construction, Fabrication & Make of the Prototype

Activity 1: My Research

Here we used what we learned in the Projection Mapping with TD workshop to create a square, add a constant top (make the color blue) and then add a noise effect.

Using the Freeform tool, we shaped the square into a more organic lake form to resemble a pond.

Here we inputted the same noise from step 1 to the free form lake shape.

We experimented with the noise node settings. We adjusted parameters like frequency and amplitude to explore different water looks.

Here we’re using the over function and movie file in we added a lily pad found from adobe stock and added it in movie file in.

Activity 2: My Research

We replicated the class activity on how to make the connection for the capacitive touch sensors in the Arduino and the breadboard.

We took the code used in class for the ProtoPie - Touch Designer activity and threw it to AI to adapt it to work for capacitive touch sensors.

We ran the code using the CapacitiveSensor library, and tested the sensors by touching them, observing the change from 0 to 1.

We forgot the detailed steps we made in class on how to connect the Arduino to TouchDesigner, so we decided to search for a YouTube video that could explain the process.

We succeeded connecting the capacitive touch sensor to TD. Here we are testing the sensor observing the 0 and 1 change on TD’s serial operator.

Additional Research or Workshops

testing out touch designer projection for the first time

Projection mapping onto the wall

Trying to make it look more like water; color manipulation

Capacitive Touch Sensor on our own

Rigging sensor to button

Project 2

Project 2 Prototype

A lake installation that simulates interaction with the body of water in ways one cannot replicate in real life. An interactive experience where an individual is placed in a relaxed, meditative environment where they are able to walk on water and simulate sound and effects based on their movement.
