EKG-controlled Game of Life Hoodie

First Wear! The concept is a wearable version of Conway's Game of Life, that is controlled by the current state of your life. Essentially, a wearable extension of your heart, externalized in the form of Conway's Life. A custom circuit includes an infrared EKG monitor that resets the Game each time a heartbeat is detected. Heartbeat data is analyzed by a hackduino which resets an ATMega48 chip, part of Adafruit's kit controlling Life, which is embedded in the chest of a hoodie. Conductive thread is used to connect the 16 LED matrix to the circuit board which is kept in a pocket towards the bottom of the hoodie. [ READ MORE ]

Messa di Voce

about 2 weeks ago, i got the chance to see one of my teachers, zachary lieberman, perform at NYU. It was a piece called Messa di Voce which in italian means "placing the voice". It essentially is an interactive visualizer for the human voice in real time. IR light and cameras track the performers' location on stage and 2 projectors were used side by side to project the visualizations of their respective voices. here's some video that i took -- [ READ MORE ]

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 ]
