Interactive Architecture – Chair
Zane Murray and I finished up our prototype for our interactive architecture collaboration, and we’re happy with the steps we’ve made toward our vision. After our initial prototype, I thought more about what we wanted the interaction to be, and so we decided to use sensors as a way to interface with the piece. The [...]
Reed Switches and Angry Robots
For Physical Computing 2, we’ve been discussing robots, so for an exercise we each built a robot kit to get a better understanding of how they are set-up. I put together “Herbie the Mousebot” from Solarbotics. Herbie responds and chases light and also knows when it runs into things (because of the sensors on its [...]
ICFF – Submission is in!
Zane Murray and I collaborated on a piece, called Transformium, that we submitted to the New School judging committee to hopefully be selected to participate in the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) happening here in New York City. I was heavily influenced by the book, Interactive Architecture, by Michael Fox and Miles Kemp, so I [...]

Serial Communication – 3 Digit Display (interim step)
For Physical Computing 2, we are setting up an Aduino to receive serial data from the computer and send it to a 3 digit display (Kingbright BC56-12) through a BCD to 7 segment driver (HEF4543). At this point, I have the Arduino receiving and sending single digits to the driver. I am currently using a [...]
