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. [...]
Due: Tuesday, November 8, 2011 See student proposals here. For your final project, you’ll explore a specific set of materials, techniques, or applications in depth. You are very welcome (in fact encouraged) to work in groups. The project could take many different forms, including but not limited to:
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.
