Transposable is a prototype of our modular projector. This is our attempt to create a personal projector for multiple media outlets. We are driven by the idea of reflecting and refracting light under various conditions. Through researching light refraction, reflective and reflexive materials we explored simple mechanics and were able to reproduce a light sourced image. With our do-it-yourself style of testing we have created the first prototype for an easy to construct flexibly designed projector.
“Leftovers” is a project I started last semester in Sabine Seymour’s Fashionable Technology.
“Ruby Heels” was my second assignment in Physical Computing 1. Using a sensor/component to create sound. I really enjoyed working with the piezo contact speaker and want to experiment with it more.
For my midterm project I chose to experiment with nitinol wire, piezo contact sensor and LEDs.
Assignment 3 – LOL Shield. The assignment was to learn how to solder LEDs onto a LOL Shield and using binary, code a sequence animation for the LEDs. The video shows me soldering and the install of the LOL shield on a purse.
The assignment was to design a circuit that uses sound. My project uses a piezo element sensor that when you “knock” you heels together the LED light up.
The best thing about #makerfaire was finding vintage earrings.
Massimo Banz gave me this.
Ladies & Gentleman the coffee maker of the future.
Makers!
For MakerFaire I volunteered to help out at the Arduino Booth. It was a fun day! I got a t-shirt, a Arduino Yun and got to meet Massimo Banz. It was fun chatting with people about arduino and what it can do. I spent most of the day making LEDs blink. During my time away from the booth I check out the Parsons booth, Adiel Fernandez’s color mixing table, and craft faire area. In the end I went home with more knowlegde about Arduino and vintage earrings. It was a good day!
For my lamp I started out recycling old code using a flex sensor but that didn’t work. In the end I created a simple circuit with 4 LEDs and a Potentiometer. I house it all in a glass pumpkin that was lined with textured paper.
I wanted the lamp to be more interactive then it turned out to be, plus I didn’t have a 9v battery pack to use to find all the wires and Arduino. I will need to get more stuff to make my project clear and easier to show.

But seriously now, my name is Veronica and I’m a DT 2nd year! I moved to NYC from Las Vegas, NM (the original Las Vegas!) were I graduated with a BFA in digital filmmaking. When I decided to apply and study for a MFA there were two things I wanted to learn, Motion Graphics and Physical Computing. I researched program were I could learn both, and Parsons fit the match. My first two semester I just couldn’t fit these two classes into my schedule for one reason or another. Low and behold I’m taking both this semester. It just worked out super well! I’m super excited to learn, explore, hack and interact.
Feather Tail
Climate Dress
Dandelion Field
Water Light Graffiti
Some Inspiration!
So I meet Ricardo O’Nascimento [[groovy Tech Fashion Designer]] during Fashion Week and am totally in love with his work: Feather Tails.
So, I’m kinda into the whole Wearable Tech. Climate Dress is a piece I though was really beautiful to look at but also has a worth-wild function. I like it when a piece of art has a purpose outside of it visual aesthetics.
Pu Gong Ying Tu is an interactive painting of a dandelion field is epic! I enjoy exploring new ways of interacting with things around me.
