Skills Dev IV: Working with Outputs - Motors and Movement 2022

Turn fan on when I like a youtube video

Create an object that receives online cues and interacts with the physical environment through motors.

When the wind speed is higher than certain threshold, the fan will be activated to indicate that the wind is quite high outside

Get oriented with output and feedback by working with an actuator. Taking cues from Google's Paper Signals experiment with materials to create an interesting notification or effect when combined with the actuator.

This prototype is meant to explore how to frame an indication using as simple as two sticks.

I'm creating a countdown alert. Whenever a Google calendar invite is about to start (1 hour away), the countdown will start and measure how many minutes remain before the event starts. Using a servo motor, I'm visualizing time remaining until an event starts.

Turn on the fan when a new song is added to a shared playlist on Spotify

Turn on a fan when a new photo is uploaded to my iCloud

Get oriented with output and feedback by working with an actuator.

This project allows you to attach a notification "flag" to any device. When you get a notification from a single desired individual, this device gently waves a flag at you as a subtle reminder.

Drive a DC motor

In today's world, mobile phone usage has increased significantly. I'm one of many people that has been spending too much time on my phone, so I decided to create a glanceable reminder of hours spent using my phone. This device relies on a continuous servo and cloud function. The servo speed is determined by how many hours I've used my phone.
