Reflection

The project ended up working as hoped, and showcasing the interaction I wanted, which makes me consider it a success. However, I have learned that when doing physical computing, prototyping should start earlier, simultaneously with the coding to avoid future trouble and the need to redesign the concept.

I was especially surprised about how the high five by the computer was too fast, and a bit annoying, which made me think of my computer as a very very needy friend. Which thinking about it, it think is a true feeling. My computer is always asking for more power and crashing when I ask him to perform a bit out of his comfort zone. So yes, definitely is a very needy friend, but a very good friend after all, so being reminded that I need to take better care of him is a good thing.

I also attach a video of a classmate (thank you Chang!) interacting with my device.
