For the Intro to IM final project, I will be working with Susanne to build an integrated device utilizing Arduino and Processing.
idea
The idea was inspired when Susanne mentioned “something visual about our connection or memory; something that relates us not being in the same location.” So, we decided to recreate the environment of logging into a Zoom meeting and entering the meeting’s password. The key feature of this project is to make the process accessible, by including both sounds and light.
how it will work
The password will be entered by the user using a computer keyboard to the graphical user interface, and during the typing process, different sounds and lights on Arduino will play. If the password combination is right, a congratulating tone will ring and the user will be let into the meeting.
next steps
- Finalizee the Processing’s role in the app
- Decide what the Arduino will do
- Discuss the feasibility of the project in class
- Finalize the storytelling aspect of the app
