Smart Workstation 

Refresher on what our project is about- Adding on to the voice-operated drink holder, we decided to expand in terms of our devices, to create an entire smart workstation. We thought that a voice-operated light would be helpful in a smart workstation and thus we created/completed the LED Light.

Progress:

  • Completion of mini-arm and the code
  • Completion of LED light
  • Steps next to final: Assemble to proper sized drink holder and assemble the lamp

Mini-arm (Servo Prototype)

  • Currently the code works, it responds to commands but it is a little robotic
  • Thus we are going to modify the code to make it more human-like and cheeky

LED Light

  • We are done with the coding of the LED, it responds to voices well except when there are pronunciation errors
  • We just need to assemble it into the lamp and we will be completed with this

A project by Gladys Loh, Valerie Lay and Tan Siew Hua – Using gyroscope sensors on the Phone to control the paddles of the Pong game, resulting in an active yet comedic game

Documentation (video)

Here’s a video of our friends playing this game in the most unconventional means.

The game at work, – Processing and Max Patcher

For process, see previous post.

Future Development 

  • There were some difficulties in mapping the coordinates and at times there would be a wrap-round thus it is more tough for the players. Also, every 30 seconds the mode would change but it seemed more like a lag.
  • Tutorial mode – At start of the game to inform the players which axis involves what movement
  • More developed change mode system – We implemented a change mode system but it was rather rough, in a more developed version the mode will be spelled out for the players to know and more obvious
  • Various challenges – Instructions for players to put at different parts of the body e.g. head for a special round
