Module 2

Workshop 1 Geurilla Prototyping I - Phone stand made without using glue. Using cardboard and tape as materials.

Workshop 2 Geurilla Prototyping II

Folding paper into accordian style to mimic paper lantern styles

Scoring only the top layer of cardboard to make it more flexible

Reinforcing corners of the paper with cardboard to make it more sturdy

Testing the cardboards sturdiness and seeing how the pieces align when connected together (whether a rectangle is formed or not)

Cardboad scoring technique show by Quirky in YouTube video

Activity 1: My Resarch

testing a base structure made from stem wire and round nose pliers to bend the wire

Testing the breadboard on the wire to see if it holds

Cardboard base made by creating slits into all pieces so they can slide into eachother

Project 2

Project 2 Prototype

The final design concept focuses on creating an ambiance sound app that allows users to play sounds to support focus, relaxation and rest, while incorporating a paper lamp using the Arduino to output light from LEDs. The app will allow the user to control light brightness and other essential controls such as volume. Incorporating light can help to stimulate calmness and improve the users mood, by limiting digital distraction and reducing cognitive overload. The purpose of this project is to provide personal interactions meant to build intentional relationships with technology and physical interaction.
