I haven’t posted in some time, since I am now doing a lot of writing… testing my cubes, conducting interviews, collecting research, and trying to form all of that into my final thesis. I am including many videos “inside” my thesis report to better explain the cube interactions and my interview results. Sometimes words fail [ READ MORE ]
Knowing how to build something, physically or virtually, will get your designs further. Sometimes when I’m learning a new programming language, arduino, or electronics, I wonder if my time is best spent learning something that isn’t specifically about interaction design. I know I will never be a pro at object-oriented programming, fully understand what a [ READ MORE ]
Added functionality: button double-press (hold red light on) button press hold + touch tap (switches rainbow color) button press hold + touch hold (cross fades between rainbow colors)[ READ MORE ]
Building the “SUI cube” prototype is progressing quickly and with only some pain… My initial electronics design made use of a very small code library that would allow me to sense the touch of the button. This method did not require any additional hardware and used only a small amount of code to detect the [ READ MORE ]
