Final Project Proposal: DM

Option 1

Concept Statement

Based on my Studio project of an interactive falling shape installation. The idea is to integrate additional users to have control over the input of the falling shapes, while a different user is interacting with it. Through a controller, the audience is able to put to test the skills of the person playing and challenge their ability to keep up with their inputs.

Hardware List

-Circuit board (Arduino UNO?)	-Electric Tape
-Buttons	-Scissors
-Potentiometers	-Cutters
-LED's	-Wire Stripper
-Wires	-Tweezers
-Hot Glue and Gun	-3D printer
-Solder and Iron	-3D printing material
-Cardboard for prototype	-Paint

Software List

- Arduino IDE

- Unity or Processing

- Tinkercad 

Option 2

Concept Statement

Puzzle games are fun, but they usually have an end. What if there was a puzzle that was different each time you played it? The idea is to merge together technology and mind puzzles. With this cube maze, there will be infinite amounts of puzzles to solve so the user will never get bored. Each time the game resets, a new puzzle will begin. The puzzles never end!

Hardware List

-Circuit board (Arduino UNO?)	-Electric Tape
-LED Matrix (6?)	-Scissors

-LED's (power and restart)	-Wire Stripper
-Batteries and clip	-Tweezers
-Buttons	-Laser Cutter
-Wires	-Acrylic
-Hot Glue and Gun	-3D printer
-Solder and Iron	-3D printing material
-Cardboard for prototype	-Paint

Software List

- Arduino IDE

Option 3

Project Plan

1.- Confirm project, hardware, and software needed.

2.- Sketch design of the final product and possible schematics.

3.- Purchase hardware.

4.- Start wiring breadboard and code simple on/off, push/release, etc.

5.- Code triggers on serial monitor to say what they should do.

6.- Code triggers to work as input within the falling shape interface.

7.- Prototype enclosure with wiring and components.

8.- Design final enclosure that will be used. Measure components.

9.- 3D print/laser cut the enclosure.

10.- Paint enclosure components.

11.-Organize wiring and components to fit inside the enclosure.

12.- Test and troubleshoot.

13.- If it’s working: Soldering.

14.- Test and troubleshoot. Final  touch-ups.

15.- Present!
