This is a flex sensor that can display low, medium, high flex on 3 LEDs (green, yellow, red), but only when a button is pressed. When the button is not pressed. all LEDs will be OFF. It is connected to Wi-Fi using a Photon 2 microcontroller.

To complete a basic circuit and experiment with controlling LEDs remotely via cloud interface.

Make an LED that can dim using Wi-Fi control functions and the Photon 2 microcontroller.

Everyone needs a retirement, who doesn't? Even when one used to be an everyday worker, he/she would be reluctant to return to work after retirement. Our old friend, Bob - a notorious frost-fright lamp, refused to return for service when summoned. To give him some persuasion, we had to work really hard to keep him nice and warm... Bob starts panicking immediately after being woken up, then he starts to feel more comfortable as he is getting a hug. (a huge one)

Learn how to control LEDs and other electrical output devices over the web with the Particle Argon platform

This project includes my proposal to create a sound activated Iron Man costume along with the work I created during the Soft Fabrication Class.

For this project I intended to record video data (color, depth) from a Microsoft Kinect 2.0 and render this video as a 3D object in virtual reality space.

A web extension, Vault, that would allow a visualization of one’s deletion of personal content from their Facebook. This visual and/or sound effect would be something cathartic or satisfying. In addition, the sense of satisfaction (instead of emptiness, from deletion of content) could be further emphasized with a sort of abstraction of the content that was deleted.

I tried to create a method of capturing, storing, and analyzing emotional memory so that it can be created in tangible artifacts later. The idea is to have a person physically handle and experience their emotional memory.

We were challenged to create a new form of interaction for the Lightwall installation at the Carnegie Library in Knoxville. Working with the Lightwall's existing API, we created and implemented a prototype using Processing and TouchOSC, and shared it with the library staff and kids. Then, the fun began!

CeeviBot, the SMS based chat-bot is my personal Curriculum Vitae Bot, built for recruiters to chat with though SMS and learn about me and my work experience. He is a Sinatra application coded with Ruby, deployed on the Heroku server and connected to SMS services through Twilio.

We try to stop online shopping! Especially one of the team members found out she spent 400 dollars on Amazon last month without noticing it=/

I design a system that activates the alarm on my phone when my roommate uses her hairdryer.

Based on Microsoft Kinect, KScan3D and Unity, the project aims to reconstruct 3D models from human players to create immersive interactive experience where players are able to interact with the avatar with the same physical experience in the virtual world.

To create a responsive origami tessellation to alter the tempo of natural light in an environment, thereby affording a slower walking pace for the occupants of that space. The presence of a person below the structure triggers a slow movement, so if someone is in a rush, then they will miss what is happening right above their heads. This structure prompts people to take the time to slow down, look up, and observe what is going on around them.

We constructed a wearable device that can attach to a backpack or bag and notifies the user when they have been exposed to too much UV radiation.
