Work Update

Cuted open Glove

Leds in positions1

2

Our order has finally arrived, this is effecting on our design and testing, however I still believe that our group will still have enough time to accomplish this project on schedule. Now I have successufully cut open the inside layer of this glove and started putting Leds onto their positions. And tommorow I will start soldering. Mean while Shengying was doing his coding, I have successfully read the sensor value on the lilypad accelerometer ADXL335.

Testing

This is a Pressure Sensor and Flex Sensor testing video, Shengying has done the programing part for both of the sensors.

Progress Update

The things our group have ordered has been holded up by the NZ Customs and it will not just arrive late and also we have to pay extra 60 dollars to the customs. Anyway we will have to wait for our products arrive in order to start technical work.

This is the list of quipment my group is ordering, I have calculated all the costs and had a good chat with Craig(person who organise the shipping) today. And after a short group conversation, we came to a conclusion, these is everything we need for this project, but we might need something more for an extra spin in the end. I will update with detail description later on in my blog about the uses of these materials later on.
Anyway, that's it for today.

Group Chat

After today's class feed back, Shengying and I had yet to decide a final concept, but it is clear that we will be making a wearable that has something to do with accelerometer.

Body Language|Shengying+Charles

Me and another digiatal media designer Shengying has team up for this group project,I had came up my initial 2 wearablw design proposals below. One is for people to use in public or social situations(e.g. a relationship-still in an experimenting stage), the second is a wearable that detects people's body and hand movement, and create specific sound response, it can be widely used in different areas, for example for stage actors or for special forces soldiers to interact with no talking but evironmental sound.

My third proposal will be in the next post.Mean while my friend Shengying hopefully will have his project proposals uploaded already. And we have decided that I should do the sodering and designs for this project.
