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.

Building the actual boxes and reading text documents. Nick and Mason

First and formost just have to say that the laser cuter is amazing. With the help of Autocad and illustrator we were able to create jigsawed edged plates that were able to snap together without the need of glue.  Bellow is one of the early test using some scrap  some quarter inch scrap. For the final box we will most likely be using some hibachi plywood.

On the code side we have successfully got processing scanning a text document and sending the Arduino variables depending on the strings that it sees

The key component of the code that is worth showing is the load strings command. Essentially what this is doing is pulling the information form each line of the text document and storing them as as strings. These strings can then be compared to see what the apricot instructions would be to send to the Ardwino.

today = loadStrings("Weather.txt");
numb = loadStrings("2.txt");

possible = loadStrings("possible.txt");
