This is the class assignment using LED strip and motor as effectors and photoresistors as sensors.

When it is not disturbed, the head will sway slowly and there will be a gradation in green light fading in and out.

However, if you get too close, it will shake violently and the LED strip will be shone red.

Prototype documentation for our semester project, ume.

ume are interactive paired devices meant to subtly connect friends, lovers and family in different locations. It was made using Arduinos, LED bulbs, PIR sensors and ultrasonic distance sensors.

Each ume serves as an avatar of the other user. The ume in location A will correspond to the user in location B and vice versa. It aims Read more →
