Creative Programming and Embedded Systems 2016

(c) 2015 Jun Hu

In the module Creative Programming and Embedded System we will learn how to make experiential prototypes with visuals, sensors, actuators and computation. The module consists of lectures that covers topics such as structural programming, object oriented programming, GUI, computer vision, 2D and 3D graphics, micro-controllers, serial communication, networking and internet of things. Students are challenged to deliver a static art work in Processing, and an interactive prototype using both Processing and Arduino. The module takes 2 weeks, in which 30% of the time is used for lectures, and the rest for students to work on the challenges.
