Here’s a rough diagram of the drawing machine architecture that I have in mind. I’m building the components from bottom to top.
I moved on from the brush stroke and started to work on a set of drawing functions that incorporate the stroke.
Currently coverage:
moveTo,
lineTo,
rect,
circle
the moveTo function is necessary since the dynamics of the brush motion [...]
Li and I presented the humons on Wednesday and Thursday in both Redial and Nature of Code class. Although we’ve been playing around for weeks and a lot of people already saw it, it’s still so joyful to see a lot people actually play with it at the same time.
Here’s the video from the nature [...]

In 1898, it seized the Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico from Spain, and in 1917-18 became embroiled in World War I in Europe. In the first half of the 20th century it repeatedly sent Marines to ‘protectorates’ such as Nicaragua, Honduras, [...]

The RFID reader is working! It took a while though. I did some search and ended up taking arduino codes from http://blog.formatlos.de/2008/12/08/arduino-id-12/ featuring the AF_SoftSerial library. It’s very well written and comprehensive. The scripts added a kicking off step and a disconnection detection as well. Great work! [...]
Some sketches to play with 3D globe and its motion. I have to made this to see if it makes sense at all if I plot the timeline data long the radius of the globe. Next step is to create better visual elements and put in text captions.
The graph reads from the center to the [...]
Face Blind was my final project for Visualizing the Five Senses last semester. However for some reason I never had a chance to document it, and as a kicking off of my “blog catching up” week I would like to start with this project.
Just as a quick recap of the project, Face Blind is a [...]
On Tuesday we had Paola Antonelli, Natalie Jeremijenko, Allyson Torrisi as guests in the Visualizing the Five Senses class final presentation. I showed my final work on the Face Blind project.
I chose the topic of face blindness of my final project for “visualizing the five senses” because I was simply stunned while I bump into the website of prosopagnosia. It was almost at once I decided to create something under this topic and also I think it’s highly related to this class.
Prosopagnosia, also known as [...]
I’ve been working with Liesje on the pcomp final and we had a lot of fun playing with magnets. Now it comes to a crucial question what are we gonna do to put some real pcomp into this project. Finally today we came to narrow down our ideas and focused on a still exciting solution! [...]
The semester is coming to the end and we were creating a collage of all previous class works… and it turns out to be no-so-systematic as in one poster.
Here is the archive for all posts regarding the class this semester.

I’ll keep working on the odor database and try to [...]
