Final Project (Preliminary Concept)

For my final project, I decided to upgrade the balloon game I developed for the midterm project. For the game itself, I want to have different colors that pop at different rates so this could be used as an analysis test for risk-taking abilities. To make it physically interactive, I will be adding sensors that detect blowing from the user in real life. One way I would do this is by making something spin as the user is blowing and then a motion sensor to detect the spinning (something like a fan). I can imagine this to be challenging, so plan B would be using a potentiometer or a button to inflate the balloon.

After inflating it, the user could “collect” the balloon of that round by pressing a button or a brake pedal and another round is displayed until the game ends. The piezo buzzer will be used for the popping sound of the balloon. The score will be displayed in a screen (LCD or neopixel).

I will also be developing the result to make it more specific than just a score; it would calculate the number of pumps based on the color and give specific personalized result on their learning abilities.
