Coding project 1:
Human Computer Interaction Technologies
We made a make-shift blackout tent that would make the LED on both the vest and the inside of the tent be extra vibrant. It would also allow people privacy. The concept of our project was for physical movements (like dancing) would influence and generate sound and visual effects. We aimed to blur the lines between the human body and technology by allowing the participants to use their body movements to control and create music.

This class was about researching and using HCI technologies to come up with interactive concepts. The interaction was the main focus, not the user. The main concept for this year's exhibition was “Mostly Human”.
Our group worked on a concept with the interaction technology “Extended Body”. Our final project was an interactive experience that combined wearable technology, motion detection, and sound generation. The centrepiece was a custom-made vest that had LED lights sewn into it. Inside the vest, we hid an Arduino board that made the LED lights shine and change colours.
To make this concept and interaction work together, we had to use multiple Arduino boards that would control the lights inside the tent and on the vest. We also had to code a program that would detect body movements and certain poses that would generate different kinds of sounds, like bass and guitar. We chose to use PoseNet for the body detection, which worked well for our project. We had a hidden camera inside the tent that was connected to a pc that had this code running. Take a look at our finished project in this final video ——->
