As computing becomes more ubiquitous in our objects, designers need to be more aware of how to design meaningful interactions into electronically enhanced objects. At the University of Washington, a class of junior Interaction Design majors is exploring this question. These pages chronicle their efforts.

Assignment 1: Reema Bhagat_Processing

For the first assignment, I modified the Translate example in Processing. The original example is very simple, and there is no user input and output. I explored several ways to make the example more exciting by adding an input for the user (clicking the mouse) which results in several outputs (scale change, direction change, and color change). In the original example, the two boxes simply moved across the screen at a different pace. With my modifications, the boxes start off bigger and with a red background. When the user clicks their mouse, the background color changes to yellow, the black box becomes smaller, and it starts to move in a diagonal direction. When the user releases their mouse click, the animation switches back to the red background in which both boxes are the same size and travel in the same direction.
