A Game about Electricity + Circuits, Part 1
THE BEGINNING. This post is the first in a series documenting the design of a game called Eureka Tesla. As a professional project, this was a challenging exercise around inquiry-based learning. As a personal project, it was the first effort to wed my two favorite domains: soft circuits and games. This project began as a […]
Weaving Tests
After receiving a loom from my partner’s stepmom, I giddily dreamed of different conductive possibilities – and was not disappointed. More on my weaving (and warping) journeys soon. In the meantime, process photos!
Burning Man Workshop
Prototype for upcoming BM workshop at Camp Chakralicious. Come augment your fav Burner Wear or make something new with me on Thursday morning!
Cooking with Hardware at NICAR 2014
Images from the Team Blinky talk with John Keefe at NICAR 2014! We had such a great time here and managed to generate a bit of a stir thanks to KnightLab. The premise of this talk was to present some of the projects we have been working on over the past few months. Our theme […]
Adipose Plushie
Who doesn’t love these adorable Dr. Who alien babies? Press one arm for red, the other for blue, or combine for magenta. Study for webseries project. Here’s a quick visual overview of the process:
Homebrew Sensors
Learning how to construct your own sensors is one of the coolest things ever. The soft circuit and e-textile movement become a big force in the Maker movement, gaining traction as an entry point for more populations to engage technology. Constructing these sensors is not difficult and fairly cheap. Once you gain a basic understanding […]
Stress Sensing Apron
I love a good excuse for a project. Not only because I love making things, but I like designing experiences and if they have deadlines and an audience, even better. This project was specifically designed for me to wear at our Cooking with Hardware panel. After a few TeamBlinky conversations around personal data, bio-sensing, and […]
Welcome to the Pressure Sensor Matrix
Learning how to make your own pressure sensor is something of a mind bending moment. If you are of the physical computing persuasion, you are normalized to quarter-sized force sensing resistors. Once you come across the magical fabric of velostat, the size (and possibilities) of pressure sensors grow exponentially. A welcome mat, for instance, enters […]
