joe saavedra :: 3 computation studio projects
1. Luminosphere
A mood-enhancing, tri-color, glowing light projection for dark spaces that exposes the beauty of additive color synthesis. Luminosphere provides ever-changing blends of red, green, and blue light that is projected vertically out of a translucent white dome. For anyone who is afraid of the dark, or perhaps simply in need of a mood enhancement for any room, Luminosphere provides an extremely
unique lighting alternative. Great in a bedroom, living room, hallway, or festive environment, Luminosphere creates ambiences that appeal to all ages and situations. Simply toggle the switch to the ‘on’ position, sitback and enjoy the atmosphere and ceiling projections created by Luminosphere.

2. Spatialized Umbrella
• The ‘raindrop’ samples play in a loop, each speaker playing their own
unique raindrop. The LEDs light up the speaker playing at that moment.
The tempo of the loop is controlled by a long-range Sharp Infrared range finder.
The closer an object is to you, the faster the loop plays. If an object
is close enough and a threshold is reached, a lightning sequence is
triggered.• Spatialized Umbrella was featured on the Hack-a-Day and Arduino Show blogs, as well as a few others.
>>>>>••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••<<<<<3. SOBEaR
• SOBEaR is a robot friend for anyone who does not know their own limits, or has problems controlling themselves. SOBEaR has a breathalyzer which the user must blow into. Blood Acohol Content is displayed on a scale of 1 – 6 ( via green, yellow, red LEDs in his chest). Depending on how drunk you are (or aren’t) SOBEaR will pour you a drink appropriate for your current state. If you are sober, a shot of alcohol is poured, if you are very drunk, more mixer (cranberry juice) is served. Too drunk, and only mixer will be poured.• SOBEaR was featured on ENGADGET, GIZMODO, MAKE, and TRENDHUNTER among nearly 100 other blogs. Here is my complete post.

About the Author
Salutations! My name is Joe Saavedra, and I’m totally happy with the outcome of this class. Everyone made great projects, lots of creativity, and tons of learning happened for everyone. Phenomenal experience. I also applaud everyone for getting posted on big blogs, we should be proud of ourselves, and we are only increasing MFA DT’s profile as this happens more and more. I’m super proud of everyone in this class, we have all come a long way! Special thanks and CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. Yury Gitman — and to the administration for providing lots of material and technology for us to play with.

spatialized umbrella on Arduino Show
Here is a very cool project idea.The raidrop on the umbrella activated
sound. When the the rain falling down the raindrop on the umbrella
samples play the music in a loop, each speaker playing their own
unique raindrop. The LEDs light up the speaker playing at that moment.
The tempo of the loop is controlled by a
long-range Sharp Infrared range finder. The closer an object is to you,
the faster the loop plays. If an object is close enough and a threshold
is reached, a lightning sequence is triggered.[Link] | [via]http://www.arduinoshow.com/show/2009/04/spatialized-umbrella-v01/

Great that this site also chose a different image from my blog to post on theirs. Again the description is not exactly 100% accurate, but still great that they thought the concept was cool. -

Linkbacks to Squaremin
Original Content: Nick sent word of his digitally squarewave take on the legendary theremin instrument – hmmm, a Squaremin perhaps?
……
The highly portable fold-up case design is hot! Check the source code + related media on Nick’s blog.
Unfortunately there was no picture of my theremin posted? 😦

Great that this blog chose a different image to post on their entry. Their description is completely original, and not necessarily the most accurate. unfortunately, they did not mention mapduino, but at least my blog is linked.

Crunchy Beats on Instructables
http://www.instructables.com/id/Crunchy-Beats/
Decepticon says
#1) Where are the beats? All I hear is an Atari tone generator.
#2) So you put photo-resistor in a bag of chips (or not necessarily in
a bag of chips considering someone was doing it with a
sandwich)…maybe a better explanation is in order.
#3) Your title is way misleading.I think It's actually a very constractive comment, thank youDecepticon, you defiently right I need to post a better explanation.

Projects on blogs
Here's what they wrote:
[Steve] is in the MFA Design and Technology program at parsons, and
as part of his studies, has built a couple really interesting projects.
First, the Beat boxxx,
as seen in the video above, is an 80’s retro looking portable beat
looper. You create and loop your beats at the time of playing using
simple hand gestures. The look is great, for those who enjoy cardboard
and magic marker, though we think some tonal variation and possibly a
wider pitch variation would really make this fun.His second project is Speak to Me/Breathe.
This project was meant to be a commentary on security in our daily
information. He is visually displaying the braille symbols to spell out
his emails. If any person were to spend the effort, they could decipher
his emails. The finish on this project is quite nice, you can see a
video of the display after the break.Here's a link to the article:
This site is cool and I've gotten a lot of comments, mostly positive.
Here's what they wrote:
Mixing something on the net to use in the real world is a very interesting idea. Stephen Varga sent me a great project. He writes :
Here is a link to my first arduino-based project. I’d
love if I could get a post and possibly some comments to help me
improve the design.
Speak to Me/Breathe
is a project that shows communication over time by displaying my
incoming email messages in Braille format on a large LED driven
interface. The project is both an exploration of Braille as a visual
6-bit binary form of communication vs its normal tactile form, as well
as a commentary on information security and encryption.Thanks Stephen Varga.
Here is a link to the site:
LINKThey posted it super quick and made some nice comments, however I don't know how many people are actually reading this blog yet since ts pretty new. Regardless its pretty cool.

spatialized umbrella on hackaday
Reader [Joe Saavedra] sent in his latest project: the spatialized umbrella.
The base of each umbrella rib features an LED, speaker, and distance
sensor. These are connected to an ATMega168 microcontroller running the
Arduino environment. The IR sensor triggers a rain drop sound based on
proximity. Shorter distances mean more droplets are played. The sounds
are generated using a lookup table and the digital pins. You can see
the demo video embedded below.Using the Arduino environment without the associated board is part of another idea that [Joe] is working on. The MapDuino Project
uses the standard Arduino hardware for programming, but then transfers
the chip to a more barebones circuit in target project. They based
their initial work on the ITP breadboard Arduino.http://hackaday.com/2009/04/12/spatialized-umbrella/
———————
really happy that this got posted. Best of all, they linked to the mapduino project on hackduino.org . This was my response to the comments and the post that i made on the site:
thanks all, for the great comments (even the “constructive” ones),
and thanks so much to Eliot for posting this! I love the idea of having
actual raindrops determine the attack, frequency and pitch of the
sounds, although at the moment I can’t think of the technology that
would get that done…If I could just make one correction – I did indeed use an ITP post
as the basis for the HackDuino project, however, I am an MFA Design and
Technology student at Parsons, so Eliot, if you are reading this, do
you think you could also tag this post with “parsons” or “parsons MFA
DT”. thanks, again.Josh is absolutely correct – MapDuino is completely top-down. There
was never a question of which came first – the microcontroller or the
breakout board. But it’s definitely something that is getting
completely overlooked, and along with LadyAda, Freeduino, and others,
we hope to continue to encourage this sort of DIY approach to the
prototyping process. -
