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.

Sensor Experiment – Netty & Hannah

For our toilet seat, we knew that there were two main inputs we would have to sense: the sound (of the flush) and the position of the seat. The first sensor we tried was the ultrasonic sensor, which could possibly sense the orientation of the seat. We found some online guides to follow; unfortunately, we still were not able to make it work but we did get some pointers from other groups during class that would definitely help moving forward. We also want to try the microphone sound sensor next to sense the sound of the flush.
