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.

Reema & Jill: Coffee Cup_formal analysis

 Everyone knows you cant fit a square peg in a round hole. Meet our coffee cup. Housing a squared Arduino around a round cup, creates many formal problems. We seem to have settled on a formal plan, though. We will have a plastic coffee cozy wrapped in copper foil for the touch capacitor. The Arduino and breadboard will be housed on one side, and the thermistor will extend into the cup and clip inside the lip. The entire form will be wrapped in fabric to conceal the parts. Over the next couple of days we will begin construction.
