  Mid Term update 

  So the wiring is up and working. The code needs some work as I’m having a bit of trouble getting the lights to start pulsing upon reaching various levels of heart rate. Also, as of now I have built the prototype around an Arduino NANO but as soon as my LilyPad arrives I will be using that and embedding it into the wristband along with slimmer LEDS

  Date Monsters 

  Theses are the Date Monsters from my Love is a Monster Series. These toys are supposed to highlight the awkward qualities of a first date. The concept behind the toys is that the couple would wear the bow tie and hair bow on a first date. Threw the use of a pulse sensor the couple would be able to see if their heartbeats sync to determine if they should go on a second date. This is more of a conceptual design/geek chic.

  I only have EYE for you 

  Here is a photo and video of a monster from a series I called Love is a monster. I created this to express a playful take on the awkward and qualities about love.

  Midterm 2nd Iteration 

  Here is a video of my second iteration of the midterm.

  I have made the project tangible and have completed one of the stages.

  I am having trouble getting the colors to adjust between the different pulse readings. So when some one goes from relaxed to energetic music the colors aren’t as smooth of a transition as I was hoping for. Hopefully I can polish this out by Monday.
