Interactive Poster

An interactive poster is a focus for week 8, while week 7 was a lecture about playful interactions and designs, where we learned about the definition of playful UI, gamification vs. playful design, differences between UX & UI, types of screen-based UI and embodied interaction. I went shopping with Estelle for the crocodile clips in Jaycar and speakers in Kmart. Did not want to buy a touch board cause I am living on a budget. So, I have prepared twelve conductive ink paintings of different anim

Crystal Ball

Week 6 was all about LCS Screens & Tilt Switches instead of Touch board & Sensors because the materials, Bare Conductive Touch boards, ordered by Simone has not yet arrived, so hopefully we would do the remaining tasks on Week 9. It was the most gruesome project when dealing with the wirings, but I jumped in joy and gladness when it worked and when I overcame that challenge especially when my board surprisingly looked neat and functional as much as possible! This Arduino project took 1 hour

Wheel of Death

Arduino Project: Motorised Pinwheel The challenges in building the Motorised Pinwheel then having it work was fulfilling and satisfying! It reminds me back in my Grade 11 and 12 (final year) where we had to create sustainable energy using DC motors and mini solar panels. I would collect the DC motors from my brother’s old toys like cars and robots to complete the projects back then, we would have to use the DC motors as a wheel to produce energy. Another thing I forgot to mention since week 3 (c

Uno Arduíño!

A shot of me pressing a button to light up a blue LED (basic circuit)It is my first time using Arduino in March 17 during DESN3600 Lab, I had the best time tinkering around with it! I was jolly to open a brand new Arduino Uno from the University, so I get a hands-on on how to construct an Arduino board with its breadboard - plus cute, Arduino stickers that came with it! I've always wanted to use Arduino, and my dad, who is an nerdy, electrical engineer (I wonder where I get my genes from), boug

Electrellation

A wordplay of constellation and electricity - connecting all the components! Week 3: Emotion graphI had several problems before the next lab because of  RS Components, who I bought for conductive ink but got additional hidden fees on my bank account, fell for their dark pattern of 'free shipping', and unclear discount promo code. Hence, explains the curving lines of emotions in March 6-7 but it has been going on since March 4. Thankfully, they sent me an email message in March 13 saying they w
