Final Steps

1.  Stain the wood until we recieve the desired color.
2.  Place the hangers on the back of the table top so it can also function as an interactive wallpiece.
3.  Paint the interior of our actual table (logo or brand for Alli and me)
4.  Gather our items to place inside our table so we have "games" or activites to play on our table.
     - Milar sheet with squares for chess or checkers
     - Clear plates, cups, and silverware
     - Basketball rim with net and foam ball for when the tabletop is hanging on the wall
     - Deck of cards with poker chips
     - Clear shot glasses (drinking games)
     - Clear Dice
     - Clear pieces for other games

Response from Prior Professors


Alli and I set our table up so we could have some of our fellow students and professors admire and interact with our project we took there feedback.  Professor Dick Davisson (left) made comments such as, "This is awesome.  It looks perfect just the way it is."  While showing a high school senior the Langford Building, Professor Terry Larsen was pleasantly pleased with what we had put together.  Hearing positive feedback from our fellow students and professors definitely makes the hard work worth it.  All smiles here!!! (:

Finished Table (Without Stain)




The next step for Alli and I to finish our table is staining it to the color desired.  We purchased a Red Mahogany color to accent the blue LEDs fom our interactive panels.  Once you lift the table top off there is an inset in which we have all our "games" to play on top of our table.

Table Building Progress





What is left on the table design:

Sand till we get the desired smoothness
Stain the outside for desired color at least 2 times
Place hangers on the back of the table-top so it can double function as a wall piece
Paint the inside of actual table
Place LED Panels and Glass Piece into the incut

Progress Work

Yesterday in the mail our interactive LED parts came in and the assembly began from there.
Here is a photo of Alli soldering some parts to the back of our board so they'll stay in place.
 Here is the board once we placed all the resistors, capacitors, and LEDs into it.

Here is a photo of the two 1 foot by 1 foot square panels that are combined in the middle to create our 1' by 2' rectangle of interactive funtime!

Rough Sketches - Outline

This photo is of the rough sketch I composed to get measurements for cutting our table.


Here is a side view of the table with certain depths and measurements incorporated.
Here is Alli and my schedule for the rest of the semester for trying to get this project done.

Final with Alli

Original Idea

Originally for our final Alli and I wanted to make a fully interactive wall that would light up with LEDs that respond to the users movement.  Our idea began to change once we realized that we only had 3 weeks to finish.  Price was also an issue on doing a project this big.  With more time and a reasonable budget we would have went for it, but for now we sized down our project to try and make smaller interactive wall (maybe a coffee table).








New Concept


Once we made the decision to size down our project we started thinking about building an interactve coffee table or something of the sort.  We not only want the user to be able to make the LEDs come on through motion but also have objects trigger the lights depending on the distance away from the lights.

1st, 2nd, & 3rd Person Analysis + Future Plans

1st Person Analysis

Upon wearing the tie, i felt confident in the design being aesthetically pleasing.  The tie can easily stand by itself as a new fashion even without the music or LED light.  While wearing the tie I felt as if I was the center of attention and the "life of the party."  Functionally, you have to be gentle with the buttons while pressing them.  Also, the weight of the tie is kind of surprising when it is on your neck.  The tie was easily the most dynamic part of my outfit though and I would love to wear it around people who have no clue what it does yet.

2nd Person Analysis

When Matt and I let others wear out tie and test it out the overall attitude was very positive and pleasing.  We had people asking to wear it and try it.  Others wanted to press the buttons when they weren't wearing the tie.  "I feel like I could be a musician now," said Brett Baxter after wearing the finished tie and playing around with it.  Negative feedback consisted of people stating that the buttons were very sensitive to touch and the fact that you couldn't have two keys playing simultaneously.

3rd Person Analysis

The functionallity of the tie works beautifully and the design is aesthetically pleasing from across the room.  While looking at the tie on other people, my eye tended to be drawn toward the LED light more than the actual tie itself.  The music that is issued from the press of a button could be louder.  However, the work put into the tie is all worth it when you see your friends' faces light up with excitement from your creation.

Future Plans

If I was to continue this project I would definitely either take the LED completely out (because it almost distracts from the tie itself) or add more LEDs to level out the balance of light.  Also, I would find a way to make the buzzer that issued the sound louder.  It would be nice to have a primary sound play on a button hit, with a secondary melody accenting the original sound in the background.  Overall though, I'd say it was a very successful project.

Final Tie Video


Our tie consists of 6 buttons running from the bottom-up; and when you hit one of them a connection is caused by two conductive pieces of fabric hittin eachother and sending a current through a conductive string that runs up to our arduino board, which then makes the code initiate.  In our case is playing a short tune and lighting a different color on the LED.

Arduino + Light + Buzzer + One Button



What you are seeing in the picture above, is a button at the bottom that consists of conductive fabic on two sides of a spng that has holes cut in it. So, when u press the button, the two conductive fabrics touch each other and send a current through the conductive thread to the postivie and negativewires next to the arduino board.  Once a button is pressed a tune plays and our LED at the top of the picture lights up.

Arduino Trials - Button Light Up

Wearable Interactive - Piano Key Necktie Ideas



The left side of our tie will be the actual keys in which you press and hear a certain note.  Matt Ackerman and I have divided the tie space into 4 equal sections in which a cooresponding music note matches up with each equal spce.  Our initial idea is to have the music note to the right of the key that was struck light up.

   On the left is the code which causes the two lights to come on during one second interchanging intervals. The photo above is the actual hookup from the arduino to the breadboard.  You can also see the usb hookup on the right which runs to the computer.

Physical Computing - Intro & Ch.1 Summary

Most physical computing is derived of three things; listening, thinking, or speaking.  In terms relative to computers these three words are changed to input, processing, and output. Processing deals with the coding and programming functions of a computer.  Input is simply the user putting informaton into the computer's system through the mouse or recorded audio and can be of either category digital (when two states suffice) or analog (continuous range of multiple states).  Output is more complicated because it requires the computer to deliver a message back to the user usually using complicated mechanics or electronics.  Serial deals with one event happening at a time where parallel describes many events occuring at once.  Transduction is also very important in developing a physical computing system because it accomplishes converting one form of energy into another. 

It is important to work backwards in the case of developing a physical conmputing system so you can fully understand your project idea and every single specific technique needed to accomplish it.  There are four major things to remember: keep a journal including all questions and ideas you come up with, second, work fast and at a high level, third, don't let planning be the death of you (it is better to take a risk and try and fail than have set plan that may or may not work), and lastly, collaborate with others - which is the exact reason we have partners. (:

There are three basic components that come into play in every electrical circut.  First, the relative level of electrical energy between two components is called the voltage (volts) (voltage = current x resistance).  Next, the amount of electrical energy passing through the circut at any point in time is called the current (amps), and finally, the resistance that the circut puts back on the current is called the resistance of the component (ohms).  The combination of voltage and current is called electrical power or watts (watts = volts x current).  There are usually two ways in which electrical power is supplied; direct current (current on one wire and ground on the other with the voltage being constant and the supply wire at a higher voltage) and alternating current (alternates the voltage on the two wires), allows for easier long distance electrical energy transfer hence the alternating current is used for most advertsing companies.  Electricity always favors the path of least resistance to the ground and all the electrical energy in a circut must be used.

Status Update - 2/20/12

Interactive Narrative Project Status Update.

Status - Good

Erin and I have cast all of our actors (a total of 6) and have the entire script with every single camera angle for the cooresponding shots.  We have everything planned out to where all we have to do is execute.  As far as filming goes we are about 40% complete; we have finished everything that could be shot in the dark.  We are just waiting for our schedules to comply with eachothers to shoot day-time action shots.  After shooting, the difficult task of compiling, editing, and adding effects will take place in the program FLASH. The only trouble we have ran into so far is the fact the both Erin and I have absolutely no experience using the FLASH program.  So from here on out its tutorials and more filming. 

Stay tuned folks! (:

Interactive Narration - Format Idea


This sketch is a simple idea of how Erin and I would like the interactive narrative to look from the beginning selection screen.  Our idea is to have the user click on a person and then the video corresponding to that person will start playing.  If at anytime the user wants to click on a different person, the option will be available for them to select another character which will start their video.

Interactve Narration Script

This is a complete outline of the 4 stories thatare going to be intertwined in mine and Erin's interactive narrtion.  The 4 strangers will all be drawn towards the same ending.

In a world where strangers are brought together by stranger things: 4 people from different lives are united one afternoon to satisfy a strange fate.  These are their stories:

“Life may not always lead you down the same path, but it is the little things that bring us all together.”
