C3 Pilot Program

Wow, I have not posted in WAY too long. I have done so much, and not documented it on here at all -- but that will change! I'll be putting stuff up more and more as i get it looking good. To start, here's a video of the DIY activity that I developed as part of the Collect, Construct, Change (C3) curriculum at the New York Hall of Science! [ READ MORE ]

SOBEaR v02 :: the responsible robot bartender

UPDATE: featured on GIZMODO,ENGADGET and MAKE! Finally, my finalized prototype of SOBEaR, the responsible robot bartender. I've added a glass coaster with a glowing status light to tell you that he is on, as well as a sewn-on patch to show you where the 'go' button is. When you press the "breathe + pour" button on his right foot, the status light goes solid, and the user breathes into SOBEaR's face. view post for more!

SOBEaR v01

I have finished my first draft of SOBEaR, the robot bartender. SOBEaR is a robot friend for anyone who does not know their own limits, or has problems controlling themselves. SOBEaR has an alcohol sensor mounted under his chin, so that the user presses a button inside his right foot, breathes into SOBEaR's face, and then watches their alcohol consumption level displayed by the color LED column in SOBEaRs chest. Following their sobriety test, SOBEaR then immediately pours a drink, a ratio of alcohol and mixer (OJ, cranberry, tonic, cola, etc), appropriate for the user at this time. click on post for more photos and words!

Spatialized Umbrella v01

This is my first prototype of the Spatialized Umbrella. The Spatialized Umbrella project offers an entirely new dimension to walking in the rain. Using light and sound spatialization this umbrella creates an immersive, mobile, and highly personal multi‐sensory environment.  Range sensing technology helps the Spatialized Umbrella react to your movement through a space. 5 speakers and LEDs [ READ MORE ]

monome 40h kit

today, i assembled my monome 40h kit! it's essentially the same as a 64, but comes in kit form - 2 PCBs and all the pieces that need to go on it - ATmega chip, shift registers, FTDI serial to USB, button pads, etc. The only thing it doesn't come with is LEDs. These you must find on your own. I ordered these from LEDShoppe, and so far i'm not extremely impressed with their consistency (brightness) from bulb to bulb. However, the color is beautiful (violet).....

LED time piece • v03

third iteration of the timepiece project for computation. we were allowed to use PWM (pulse width modulation) with the LEDs, so now they can FADE, not just on/off. MORE ABOUT NITELITE AND BUTTON PICS......[ READ MORE ]
