Exploring Sensory Augmentation
REVISED & UPDATED!
by Shan Gao Inspiration I got the idea of making an interactive Halloween Toy due to preparing for Halloween these weeks. While taking a look of different kind of sensors we had learned, I popped up the idea of creating a spider which could knot web by interacting with the pressure sensor as its belly. [...]
Sam Jacoby WHAT Passive capacitive sensors can be made out of just about anything that holds charge. Paper, for it’s versatility, lightness, strength, and accessibility, is a natural space to explore. A capacitive paper sensor consists only of a conductive substrate, sandwiched between layers of conventional paperpulp–in this case, cotton. MATERIALS The sheet is formed from interwoven [...]

Felt Sensors Since this is a pretty new area to me. I wanted to better understand different types of sensors. I experience with making a stretch sensor, a bend sensor and pressure sensors in lab. The idea of touching and sound gave me the inspiration to create something that allows people to communicate with each [...]
So I wanted to see if I can make something useful, and also challenge myself in terms what I had not done before (I must say a great portion of this class has already done that).
Overview Once again, my project was motivated by my curiosity to explore interesting and unfamiliar territory. I decided to see if I could make my own capacitive sensor and then use it in a project of some sort.
By Daekwon Park This project is essentially a research conducted as a precursor to the final project.
My reading concerns a project by Daniela Rosner and Kimiko Ryokai that attempts to weave something of the process of making a handcrafted object such as a knit into the fabric of the knit itself. More specifically, Rosner and Ryokai wants to weave the memories in the form of audio, visual as well as [...]
