Hello all!

Here’s the website where you could download plans etc. for building motion modules using Lego. Dipti & I have used tons of these in workshops that we’ve conducted earlier. They really work well 🙂

Grab us if you want anything to do with them!

Lego Motion Modules

Cheers!

Here is the demo of our prototype.

Just to show the idea and progress.

Here is our little control object

the mighty mat 🙂

Basic test of one of our instruments in Historical Orchestra project.

Flash visualizes N900 accelerometer data, floats target on gradient, sends color values to fade three Arduino LEDs. Source.

A change in image triggered by the N900’s Ambient Light Sensor. Light causes night, absence of it is daylight!

Photo-resistor based light reactive snowflakes layered over the cityscape (didn’t work)

A photo-resistor controls the size of the flowers (more the light larger the size and less the light smaller the size of the flower) through Arduino over Bluetooth.

The entire thing works together (the leaves reacting to the accelerometer and flowers reacting to the light), but the is lagging too much for the flowers to respond smoothly.

The leaves fall and return back on the tree using the accelerometer sensor in the N900.

When the hand approaches the arduino, the drawn circles on the n900 change in size – the closer it gets, the smaller the circles.

A simple test to control a continuous rotation servo motor with the accelerometer of the Nokia N900.

Schematic:

According to room’s light conditions rectangle moves left or right. If the room is bright rectangle moves to the right if the room is dark rectangle moves to the left.

Built with Arduino and Flash. Controlled with Nokia N900 according to data coming from light sensor. Analog data is sent to N900 via BlueSMiRF Gold Bluetooth module.

Arduino – Flash – N900 talking via bluetooth

Each time user presses enter in N900, Flash creates a circle of size according to the proximity sensor data.

When you get closer to the proximity sensor, the circle gets smaller. When moved far away the circle gets larger.

I thought about the concept of waiting. Can the wait between action and response sometimes be too long for it to be called interaction?

if these plants want to protect themselves they shouldn’t do it so beautifully or people want stop hassling them

Ferhat’s Presentation about IMECE

Hello,

Here are the photos.

I was doing my groceries in the S-Market in Ruoholahti when suddenly I saw the most beautiful being in the world.

I gave her my bananas.

She wanted to know how old I was.

I told her.

She wrote me a poem:

BIP-BEEP
HUNAJAPOMELO
BIP-BEEP
VERIGREIPPI STAR RUB
BIP-BEEP
PAPRIKA KELTAINEN PA
BIP-BEEP
GRANAATTIOMENA

I think I’m in love.
