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 [...]
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.
