"Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board. "- http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Introduction
Arduino is an inexpensive, simple and cross-platform device we have been asked to use to create our projections. Using the Arduino as an electronic interface attach sensors lights and speakers, then write the programme on the computer depending on what you want doing. Upload it to the arduino and boom you have got urself for example an alarm system.
our next step of development was to come up with a way we could use this to our advantage so we brainstormed some ideas.
Stonehouse The Haunting:
- Our area is quite dark and creepy, we were thinking of using the arduinos motion sensor to detect when people walk pas, and if they do we would project a ghostly figure on the wall.
Drinking, Smoking, Eating Health Quiz:
- Quiz with big buttons when pressed the answers are put into database. Users stats and questions come up on the projection, How healthy are you?
Anti-Smoking:
- Using motion sensors as our are is located in the smoking area we thought we could touch on a no smoking campaing. Using a motion sensor to detect movement the animation would play through if theres no motion in the smoking area the animation will stop.
Anti-Drink Driving:
- Projection various full on newspaper statements and images of drink driving crashes including re-enactments we could project that on the wall to prevent people driving home after a drink.
