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 Experimentation - Joo & Angela


We wanted to use the joystick to give the user multple options of colors to turn on. We are thinking these colors would be a signal of an emotion or other factor that could allow the user to send a signal with miminal effort and as a soft indicator that someone was thinking of them.

We experimented with different sensor types and this is our successful version that we created with a joystick (potentiameter as an input). We have four different colors of LED lights as outputs, so each is connected to up, down, left, right

We started to follow directions from Interfacing Joystick with Arduino, but we modified what it had to better fit our needs with the help of our classmate Jeremy! He taught us a way to simplify what the tutroial taught us to do.
