Final Project Milestone 3 – Sean Lee
Implementation
Slightly before the due of Milestone 3, I finished to archive 2 goals : to make changeable form and bring more participatory listening interactions.
I have used many parts and technologies for making this like below list.
Hardware :
RN-52 Bluetooth audio module, Arduino pro mini 5v, Thumb Joystick, Transducer
Software :
Pure data with call response, time scratching and audio effects functions with a Arduino scratch
Physical shape :
3D printing with PLA (Based on Socket and joint structure)
In this project, I wanted to bring an unusual device to give a sign to user like that ‘hey, you will have an unexpected situation. please, be ready like in Disneyland’ as SETTING. And then, I mapped joystick and Surface Transducer together, so when people want to hear something with this device, their hands are naturally positioned for controlling a joystick and they will hear customized sound without training because its controlling system is intuitive and easy to use and it provides true feedbacks as EASY MAPPING and FEEDBACK. I just hope that these things should work together and be vivid experience to users totally, but here are many questions.
Future plan
First of all, I like to make an more attractive and wearable physical form, make a small size add more music applications such as adding one more beat layer automatically.
