Idea ::
During our first week of the final project working session, we brainstormed several ideas for the project; wishing wall, alchemist's set, and friendly bear, and we decided to explore friendly bear in a hope of increasing children's awareness of species endangerment. Aim of our project was to create tangible interface with panda dolls to accomplish our goal. As children play with the toy bear, (in other words, as they interact with the bear, animation of relevant behaviour of bear would projected on the wall to create more real-like environmental images to children). We would have touch sensors on each hand (paw), accelerometer, and switch on mouth with an object that would complete the circuit (with bamboo like object for eating interaction).
Plan ::
1st Week
- Brainstorming ideas
- Research for right sensors, and brief animation discussion
- Discussion of interactions
2nd Week
- Start on animation
- Schematics for soft circuits
- Start on paper / documentation video script
3rd Week
- Finishing each task and putting in together
- User study/testing
- Assembling videos
4th Week
- Presentation
- DVD
Team Role ::
Christine Sun - Main animator / presentation slides
Tony Yang - Main programmer
Rosanna Stevens - Assistant animator / documentation
Andy Yoo - Electronics / video
Research ::
Concept:
Our research focuses primarily on interactive projects dedicated towards increasing wildlife conservation. Karolina Sobecka’s Wildlife does just that, through projecting wild animals onto city buildings from cars. The animals run at a speed which matches the cars. The Wildlife Foundation also did a relevant exhibit this year which involves toy pandas that react to human movement.

Technical:
Our technical research focused on different typess of sensors; touch sensors and accelerometer. For touch sensor, we decided to create our own soft circuit sensor on each hand for interaction, and accelerometer was also installed inside of the bear to control behaviour of the bear during interaction. Also, tony started to working on coding files with both arduino and processing, using libraries that exist within the software.
