What’s your favorite thing you’ve made?
Previously, I was developing interfaces which fuses digital information or computational aids into daily physical tools.
One of the examples is a compass-based-drawing interface which can draw and duplicate various kinds of figures onto physical papers, named “”COMP*PASS””. (It’s on my website.)
What’s the most frustrating object you’ve used?
A watch: I couldn’t figure out how to adjust dates, days and times only with one knob.
What do you personally hope to get out of this class?
I’m excited to deepen my interest in Tangible Interfaces, and come up with new ideas for TUI or RA through group discussions. Hopefully, I would like to submit suck work to conferences, too.
I’m also interested in learning how to build up vision which attracts and inspires people a lot.
How can you contribute to the class?
Ideational skill for interaction design and experiences of hardware(Arduino), software(Processing, oF) and fabrication(Rhino, 3D printer, laser cutter) for realising ideas could contribute to the class.
