Updated User Scenario
Below is a more detailed user scenario for PING – the smart trash bin. It shows a parallel of what’s happening in physical and what’s happening virtually in the same moments. Basically what happens is that every time a user does something with the bin (throws something away, empties, etc.) the bin will collect data about the event and send it to the Internet where the data will be collected and analyzed and show data visualizations, etc. about the user’s trash habits. Based on this data, the bin will receive instructions as to how it should communicate to the user via LEDs and the Winbond chip.

vMind, RFID and everything else in the world…
Violet (the people who make the Nabaztag bunny) Has just released Mir:ror, an RFID console of sorts that lets you connect apparently anything you want. I got an email announcement about which I copy and pasted below…they even mention how it can be used to know when you’ve taken your vitamins, etc. So it’s cool to see how our ideas in the class are kinda being implemented in other ways. Here’s the email:
You asked us to let you know when Mir:ror would be available.
Guess what… that’s now!Mir:ror
makes your everyday objects interactive, smart and connected. Simply
affix RFID Ztamps to them and show them to Mir:ror – your keys send
email to tell people you’re back home, your pills knows when you’ve
taken them, your toys play videos for you… There are literally
thousands of uses that you can program through a user-friendly Web
interface. -

Timeline
11/21 – Timer circuit with arduino, get PV cells, communicate readings back to computer via bluetooth?
11/28 – PV cells to work with timer, Design of sunny plush
12/5 – making all of them work together, sunny plush v 2.0, webpage with readings from sunny
12/12 – packaging and presentation -

Sunny
Sunny is a buddy you can carry around who breathes sunlight, he needs his dose of sun everyday. He hangs out with you in your key chain or in your backpack. So, if you go out in the sun he goes out too.
You can check how sunny is doing today by pressing his head, if he has had enough sun he glows green, if he is ok he glows pink, he is blue if he hasn’t had enough to breathe 😦
An upgraded version of sunny can dream and save the amount of time spent in the sun onto the computer when he sleeps in is green pot-bed.

10 Test 2 and Mechanical test 1
I tried bath duck again but failed again 😦
It doesn’t work to make leds on and off with ir sensor in water…So I developed another method.

What about calling it V-mind? It sounds like remind and might be a little more catchy. Or, better yet, what about V-minder? Then it kind of has a double meaning. Reminder, and a minder of your vitamins. Anyways, just a thought!

antisocial toy project schedule
11/11
look for what kind of sensors and motors I can use in my project
11/12
order materials that I need (sensors, motors)
11/13-11/17
make a general figure for testing the Servo motors and the IR sensor
11/18
show the prototype with basic turning head movement
trouble shooting and figure out a way for more natural movement
11/19-11/24
working on codes for smoothing movements of turning head
adjust the range of the IR sensor
11/25
show refined prototype with more natural movement, more precise range detection and plush toy’s head.
troubleshooting
11/26-12/01
refine toy’s look and try to combine the toy and the electronic part

Schedule for Final Project
Week of 11/11: Draw out design of trash bin, plan how the technology will work, order parts/materials I might need, get IR sensor to work with Winbond when dumping trash into the bins. Document all progress.
Week of 11/18: Plan next steps, figure out how to detect when the bin is full and build it. Incorporate the "full" sensor with rest of what I’ve made thus far. Document progress.
Week of 11/25: Holiday! Start testing out my XBee’s and get them to work. Get the trash bin to talk to my computer.
Week of 12/2: buy materials to build the casing, build out the bin and test its structure, make tweaks if needed. Document my progress.
Week of 12/9: Program the entire week! Program/debug my Arduino, do any needed programming for the XBee’s, wire it all up into the bin’s casing, debug.
Final Day, 12/16: Present final product.

reVitamind timeline
reVitamind:
design
-how does it exist
+ is it a bottle ?
+ is it a band ?
-form
-materialtechnology
-LEDs
-sensor(s)
+ proximity ?
+ photo-resistor (detects light)
+ switch lid
-Arduino
-batteries
-chip corder circuit (wires, chipcorder, speakers)
TimeLine:
11/18 Have solid concept, form in mind. i.e. Where does it live? How does it work? Specifics. Have parts to work with. i.e. lid switch, IR sensor(s), hooked up to chip corder. Figure out size of object to hold parts securely.
11/25 no class (Start working on a base interface — LEDs/recordable/ could be something kids would really like. Look into waterproof casing) Musical interface?
12/2 Have a functioning prototype/object Start user testing
12/9 Fully functioning circuit and solidified form/function. Design and aesthetics troubleshooting.
12/16 Have documentation, fully functioning object. Final presentation prepared.
