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.

S/P/A Diagram (Joo & Angela)


Here is an overview concept diagram explaining our Arduino project we have created. First, you start at the orange box where the sensing is happening in the pillow in one location. The person with the pillow will hug it when they want to share joy or love to someone else in a different location. When there is a pressure above 300 the reading is sent from Arduino 1 to Arduino 2. For our prototype, we have used long cords to show what the interaction would be like if we worked wirelessly. Once the reading has been sent from Arduino to Arduino if the reading is high enough it will activate the servo on our bubble gun inside of our kids' table. This will make bubbles come out! Both of the Arduino boards will be connected to a USB port to either a computer or wall plug to power the project.
