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.

Situation Sensing + Functional Diagram + Sensor Discussion | Angelica and Emily



Situation Sensing: We decided to focus on improving the situation of study parties. Often times, the emphasis of study parties is placed studying and less so on partying. Our goal is to create a lamp that can prevent a group of people from getting frustrated with studying by allowing them to have dance parties. To do so, we plan to detect sounds of frustration (i.e. groaning, swearwords, etc...) and to have the lamp respond by playing music and flashing colorful lights. 


Functional Diagram Explanation:




Sensor Discussion:


VR: Shield: the voice recording shield stores and listens for voice commands. This sensor will be programmed to listen for words and sounds of frustration
WAV Shield: stores and plays audio files on SD card.
