RFID Bag

by Heidi C. and Nicole T.

Problem:
We often forget to bring our important items (i.e. cell phone, keys, IDs… etc) out with us when we leave the house.

Solution:
To build an intelligent bag that will sense if the users’ important objects are present, through the use of RFIDs and a visual output, signaling when each object is in the bag.

Yarn Characterization Machine

imoyer@mit.edu — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 16:24:38 +0000

I propose building an automated desktop device which is capable of simultaneously measuring a yarn’s changes in tension and resistance in response to stretch. Because it is computer-controlled, the device will also be able to determine the consistency of these measurements as well as the effects of cyclic loading and fatigue. Armed with the data collected by this machine, I’d like to be able to design the properties of braided yarns created using the Interweave CNC Braiding Machine based on the measured properties of its constituents.

Final Project Proposal

denamolnar — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 15:55:39 +0000

For my final project, I am interested in developing a patterned wall panel/surface that would produce an alternating pattern in response to a passerby’s movement or engagement. Motion sensors and or pressure sensors would be employed to activate the pattern. The resulting pattern would function as a visual and temporal recording of a person’s presence.

“Drink Me” Water Bottle Cozy

ellann — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 14:29:10 +0000

The idea is to have make a water bottle cozy that contains a soft circuit. LEDs on the cozy will begin to blink every 30 minutes and will turn off via a touch sensor when the bottle is picked up.

Update: it has become more of a game rather than a quilt.

Final Project Proposals

leah buechley — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 12:41:36 +0000

Due: Tuesday, April 5, 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:

A finished garment with unique functionality, design, or material composition.
A finished textile with unique functionality or material composition.
A prototype for a new tool that could help others work with textiles and technology.
A series of documented material or technique explorations.

The final project proposals will consist of short (10 minute) formal presentations that you will present in class and short online descriptions. Your presentation should include:

A concise description of your project.
A preliminary survey of previous work in the area.
If you are planning a project whose outcome is a specific artifact (ie: a garment), preliminary sketches of the artifact.
A time line/plan of work.

Create a post on the site for your proposal and add it to the Final Project Proposal Category. Your page should contain a short description and a downloadable version of your presentation. You can see proposals from last year’s class here.
