For our installation we needed 15 audio moodboards, we divided these moodboards among Jan, Cedric, Ibrahim and me. I made audio moodboards for the skatepark, cafe rocks, SBTG/upperside and the performance factory. I had a lot of fun trying to convey the atmosphere of a place by just using sound. It makes you think what…

Reflection
The Project In my opinion this was one of the most interesting projects of study. I really liked working full time on the same project. It allows you to focus on it completely without the distractions of other projects and subjects. It also was very helpful for learning about collaborarting in a team. The main…
The plan comes together
While I had been working on the hardware and programming, Jan mostly worked on building the installation. Around the time he was finished i got everything done as well, so it was time to put everything together. Communication from both sides went well, I kept him up to date about where i needed wires and…
Audio hardware en infrarood sensor
To trigger the atraction state i choose to use an infrared sensor (PIR). But since it has the form of a half sphere its able to detect 180 degrees around it, and i want it only to detect in a straight line, otherwise it would detect movement to often, I decided to build a small…
LED strips
The LED strips we will be using for this project are the WS2801 LED strips. The reason for this is that this is an adressable led strip. Each led in the strip should be adressable seperatey, since every podium on our installation should be able to light up seperately. We bought 2 meters of strip,…
Technical Progress
During sprint 3 I mainly focussed on getting the sensors and LEDs to work. Getting the sensors to work took a while but it works fine now. Like I said in previous post we are able to make 16 states with 4 LDRs. First I needed to be able to read the values of the…
Sensor Prototyping
In order to have users select one of our special places, we need sensor input. Our first idea was to use 15 light sensors (LDRs). One for each place. But since these values might be unpredictable because of different light circumstances, we then wanted to replace these sensors with microswitches. These would cost around 1-2…
Design Document
For the Design Document I used the MoSCoW method to figure out what the core of our concept is and what is optional. I also made a State Transition Diagram to show what kind of states our installation will have and how and when the installation switches from state to state. The rest also worked…
Test Audio Moodboard
As a prototype and to test whether people know what kind of place or vibe you want to describe by merely using sound, I made a first audio moodboard test. It’s a 1 minute and 10 seconds long audio file composed with 5 seperate audio files I found on the internet. Still has to be…
Asking around in the city
Jan made a short survey in which he asked the participants which places in Enschede they think are special. But since we sent those to people we already knew, we thought it would be better to ask people we don’t know too! That’s why Jan and Me went into Enschede and asked random people what…
