LO: My Inspiration

A project that influenced me to take this class was programmed by a former student of 15-104. They decided to create a code to indicate when 60 seconds have gone by. He was able to visualize the amount of time that’s increased through the opacity/intensity of rings of light that pulse every second. It was a project done individually, and he looked at alternatives to time and sound in the world to gain an idea of what direction to go. It seems as though he developed a custom code for this function. Digital tools have created an accommodating environment for multiple users, so the fact that this student looked at how we can use technology to form a better experience and understanding, makes it stand out to me. I know that the creator of this project has been interested in using different senses to change or enhance things, which was most likely a reason for them deciding to develop this project. It was a simple look into the impact of computational design.
