Algae Curtain: Our goal for this project was to create a scale model of a hanging installation that mimics the form, color and behavior of Volvox algae, which is bioluminescent, by combining artistic and technological processes. Concept: We aimed to simulate the food-finding process for volvox algae, which is drawn to light to create food for itself. Our simulation would use a spectrum of colored lights and sense how much light this device was absorbing. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PuEte9FRPE&feature=youtu.be

It's good to see you posting work, but a couple of corrections: the link doesn't directly work, and your collaborator isn't credited. If you like I can create a general 16-223-f15 pool in which to place this.
Yes, please, also is there a way that I can claim a project as mine?
Thank you so much for letting me know,
Vera
Hi Vera,
Ok, I created a new pool for any other projects from the semester, please add to this:
http://ideate.xsead.cmu.edu/gallery/pools/16-223-introduction-to-physical-computing-f15-projects-1-3
I don't have any special permissions to modify project ownership; I'll tell Eric to include you.
Complaints and comments about xsead go to Daragh Byrne.
