Cube Code Versions

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 ]

If you have agreed to test my SUI Cube prototype, please DO NOT continue to read this blog! …until after you have been interviewed. I am in the middle of writing, pure thick thesis writing! It is much more difficult than it sounds. “Why a SUI?” A question I am asked often, and have always [ READ MORE ]

Apple Trackpad (example)

When I have talked with people about my “stacking” concept, the new Apple Trackpad pops up in conversation right away. It seems to be an obvious real-world example of stacking interfaces into a single device. I understand why people think of this device right away because it is Apple’s daring design decision that has provoked [ READ MORE ]

Cube Construction Progress #3

Time is quickly passing, so I’m taking a short break from button coding, and progressing on the cube construction. My initial sketches, based on component sizes, showed a cube that would need to be approximately 7 cm square. I would then have enough room for an Arduino Pro board, 3-AA batteries, QT110 chip, RGB LEDs, [ READ MORE ]

Button Coding Progress #2

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 ]

Button Coding Progress #1

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 ]
