For Interactive Devices Project, I Intended to do it as a solo project so that I could possibly learn more through the exploration process.

After some research, I’ve got 3 general ideas in mind which I might consider:

Wearable Devices:

• Could be for Fashion

  – Something that look nice

• Could be for Entertainment

  – Something that is amusing to the user/viewer

• Could be for Practical uses

  – Something like an Air-condition system

• Could be for medical purposes

Musical Devices:

• Could be a totally new instrument that is not available in the market.

• Could be a system which plays existing instruments:

  – Strum Guitar
  – Blow Pipes/Flute
  – Ring Bells

• Incorporate the pendulum

  – Pendulum is a interesting object which produces beats
  – is rather amusing

• Reads Music sheet and play it automatically

  – Could be like a music box

Magnetic Devices:

• Magnets have really interesting properties
• Could be a combination of permanent magnets and Electrical magnets.
• Magnetic could result in levitation of objects which are really amusing

Conclusion

Overall, out of the 3 main categories of Wearable, Music Instrument and Magnetic devices, I like the idea of making an musical instrument more and my initial idea is a device which could read music sheets like a music box. I shall explore more on music box in the next research post.
