Final Project: Dynamic, Dioramic Exploration of Christmas Over Time
by Rachel Nakamura (rnakamur) and Joseph Paetz (rpaetz) We have created ChristmasViewfinder, an diorama with actualized, moving pieces comparing Christmas as it relates to today’s modern, capitalism-fueled society against its religious origins. We juxtaposed modern Christmas commercials with the religious figures of the

Fabric Sensor: Soft Sensor
(link to our past documentation of this project) (code for this project can be found here) We designed a fabric sensor intended for the user to take one-word notes and send said notes as reminders to themselves. Our primary purpose

Fabric Sensor Prototype
By Rachel Nakamura (rnakamur) and Joseph Paetz (rpaetz) We wanted to create a soft, fabric sensor that one could interact with to create reminders for later if one doesn’t have paper, pens, notebooks, or ways to record reminders immediately available. The idea of

Arduino Capacitive Sensing with Single Pin
CapPin is the single pin, btw. This is for anyone looking to do a one-touch fabric button with (almost) NO FORCE!! :O GitHub – via Iframely

Sensing Prototype: Collabright
Ninety percent of communication is nonverbal. Though everyday life is full of nonverbal communication such as traffic signals, morning alarms, and even facial expressions, people often find themselves unable to work as a team once they can no longer verbally speak

“Massage Me” by Mika Satomi, Hannah Perner-Wilson (2007)
“Massage Me” is a “wearable massage interface” that turns a back massage into a video game controller. From their website: Playing Massage me requires two people, one who wears the jacket to receive the massage and one who massages the

“Selfie Hat” by Christian Cowan-Sanluis (2014)
The “Selfie Hat” by Christian Cowan-Sanluis was developed in collaboration with Acer in order to promote Acer’s Iconia A1-840 tablet. Regardless of its original intent, the unwieldy, glittery, pink sombrero impressively defies the laws of gravity to support a large tablet fold-out
