Rapid prototyping for music, art and design work

Introduction to Designing Interaction with Electronics worksho at Media Lab Helsinki

The purpose of Interaction Design with Electronic workshop is an “intensive hands on” workshop to learn how to turn your idea into a real physical object using electronics and microcontrollers.
 These tools and techniques will be useful for rapid prototyping in physical interaction design and/ or installation work.

The course provides a journey of design process from developing concepts to prototyping interactions. During the course, students learn how to build prototypes using software programming and electronic assembling. After a theme is given, students will work on developing concepts within groups and planning for prototypes. Actual prototyping experience consists of two phases. The students will be asked to present their work in progress after the first phase. Feedback from guests and other audiences should be applied to the second. The final prototypes will be presented in Demoday in the Media Lab.

These video are from some of students’ final presentations at the previous workshops.

Course material: Arduino connected to open Frameworks

This post describes the way to establish communications between open frameworks on Mac OX10.6 and Arduino. The code using it is created on Xcode developing software.  It uses ofArduino library which let you control Arduino directly from Xcode. Although the open frameworks also provide a generic Serial protocol. In this case, you need to create own Arduino code using Arduino IDE software.

Final demos from Designing Interaction 2010 Fall at Media lab Helsinki

Swing Thing created by Forrest Oliphant and Matti Niinimäki. The sound and images match when the two swings in sync.

Shadow created by Emmanuel Durand, Ranjit Menon and Daniel Praesius. Sound is controlled by shadow.

Historical Orchestra created by Reha Discioglu, Piibe Piirma and Ferhat Sen. Three instruments inspired by Turkish cultural heritage using digital technology.

Multitouch Table – aniMate created by Palash Mukhopadhyay, Irene Poutanen and Dipti Sonawane. Drawings get own life and move on the table.

Ferrocity created by Ben Dromey and David Munoz. http://interactionmen.tumblr.com/
