Description Urban Encounters is our imagination of the future of interactive surfaces within our 5x5x5 site. The crosswalk “island” we chose at the corner of Shattuck and Center in downtown Berkeley promotes an interesting combination of isolation, stuck-ness and loneliness. To bring out these themes into the physical world, we decided to modify existing objects to support traditionally web-only interactions. […]

Brainstorming Process After selecting Kroeber Fountain as our location of interest, we began to notice that it was a place at which people would congregate without interacting with one another. The fountain’s shape – most notably, its tiered steps – affords it the ability to serve as a seat where multiple people can sit in
What are the paper instruments made of? Using Conductive Paint, we were able to create a paper piano & guitar that plays notes and changes graphics on a screen. Paper Piano Arduino Code Step by step – Paper Instrument Development Software needed Processing: https://processing.org/ Capacitive Arduino Library:http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/CapacitiveSensor?from=Main.CapSense 1. Draw paper piano Use conductive ink to draw
The principal behind ArduinoPi First a little clarification, the ArduinoPi isn’t really a library or a command set or an out of the box controller, its more a proof of concept using already know programming languages. If you want to use it be ready for some PHP, CSS, HTML, C++ and jQuery! The principal is

Reading Hack a Day I found an interesting challenge: drawing their logo somewhere. And the fact that was even more interesting: “preference will be given to the largest and smallest submissions“. I started figuring out how to do something like that with the things I had around, and settled for using a laser and two servos. Even though

While LPG is an essential need of every household, its leakage could lead to a disaster. To alert on LPG leakage and prevent any mishappening there are various products to detect the leakage. Here we have developed an Arduino based LPG gas detector alarm. If gas leakage occurs, this system detects it and makes an alert

Raspberry Pi and Arduino are the two most popular open source boards in Electronics Community. They are not only popular among Electronics Engineers but also among school students and hobbyists, because of their Easiness and Simplicity. Even some people just started liking Electronics because of Raspberry Pi and Arduino. These boards have great powers, and one

Wireless communication between Electronic devices and modules is very important, to make them ‘Fit’ in the World of Internet of Things. HTTP protocol and HTML language have made it possible to transfer the Data anywhere in the world, over the web. We have already covered some projects which use Wi-Fi with Arduino, have a look
