TOTA: Final Video
Here’s the final video promo for TOTA. The sensor data was faked for the video, but all of the remote control was done by the actor while shooting. The Toys of the Apocalypse website has more details on the project itself, check it out!

Final Project proposals
1) My first choice for my final project would be to finally finish a project I have been working on for a while. Last semester I made a lighting project where a series of LEDs were embedded into a set of wall sconces and controlled by a wireless physical controller. The idea is that the wall sconces can display candle light without having to go through the trouble of lighting and blowing out candles. But since there is already electronics in them, why not add data to the display. I intended for the lights to display the weather but I was never able to add a wifi connection to allow them to show real weather data. I would like to finally finish this project! Below are photos of what it looks like.

Final project – 3 role prototype (ideas)
1. Clock (LEDs + sound) + iphone control
Clock LEDs light up and sound plays if you set up a time by your iPhone device. You can turn on and off lights and sounds by controlling your iphone. You can use this as a lamp too!
2. Fashion shirt + LED + iphone control
Controlling a lot, some, or one LED(s) on clothe by using a iPhone device. Decorate your shirt whatever you want anytime and anywhere. Write letters, make shapes, and/or patterns.
3. Amal toy(automata) that roller skating, able to control by iphone. cute!

Role Prototype Ideas
I have been thinking about a few different things I would like to do for the final assignment, but I have not been able to narrow it down to one just yet.
My first idea is to have a remote control car with a camera strapped on it like a drone that I can control using my phone. There will be four servos, one continuous servo for each wheel and two to move the camera up and down and side to side.
My next idea is to make an LED matrix, possibly 10×10 that is controllable by my iPhone. I would be able to draw the pixels on my screen and see the direct translation onto the matrix.
I have also been considering the possibility of purchasing a toy, like a teddy ruxpin or a furby and taking it apart to make my own toy from it that would be controlled through my phone.
Or maybe make a hexapod like this one I found that has really nice motion when it walks.
and lastly I have been considering making some sort of robot that I can wake up and control its head and eyes and some other features.
I still am not sure which direction I want to go but these are all things that I have been considering so far.

Role Prototype
To illustrate a ‘role’ prototype for my thesis (and the project for this class) I’ve been working on a video that shows an intrepid hero using the TOTAbot (Toys of the Apocalypse bot) to scan for motion, scavenge, test for radioactivity, and fend off zombie attacks. I’m still working on the final edit, so here’s a snippet of the beginning.

Midterm: Building Cubicles by Youmna and Daniela
Building Cubicles is interactive sculptural piece that takes the shape of a building.
The building has different compartments where different characters live.
The public is invited to open each door to discover the characters personality.
When a user opens the door, the paper automatas start to move in different ways. This movements is triggers by a sensor, in this case an ultra sonic range finder.
The narrative behind the piece is fantastic and funny.
The characters act like spies. They are intended to be funny and to some extent absurd and creepy.
The building and the automatas are made out of cardboard, chipboard and different papers.
We mixed these materials with hand drawn illustrations because we wanted to convey a comic, sketchy look and feel.

Mid-term Free Writing
1. One thing that you find surprising about making your project?
I found that it becomes much harder to wrtie a code with multiple variables and certain sequence of what happens early and later, which requires more practice on the logic structure of the codes.2. One thing you really like about your project?
I like the fact that the box can move and relocate in a given space.3. One thing that’s unique about your peoject?
The conbination of an obsolete brown paper box and the unexpectation of a small monster living inside of it.
