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.

Progress: Microphone setting off our LED // Camila & Stephen

As part of our end goal (making a lamp that detects an alarm) we had to create a system in which a microphone can turn on a LED light. This was a small step towards our main goal, and helped confirm that our concept was achievable and realistic.

The picture below shows the components that helped create this initial prototype. One problem that we encountered was that our small microphone did not fit into our bread board very well. After many small tweeks we were able to get it to connect with our system. If we were to use this microphone for the final product then we would have had to solder it.
