Integrating Technology for Intelligent Products, Systems and Services

(c) 2011 Jun Hu, Loe Feijs

  • /!\ Please notice that the planning and the content of the course is subject to frequent change. Please do check back often.

  • Please bring a laptop with you to the class. Windows is preferred.
  • Please bring with you the power adapter for your laptop.
  • /!\ Before you come to the first lecture, please download the following files to your laptop:

    • Download the Processing programming environment. Or go to the Processing website, download it from there. Do not download the version "without java". Having downloaded it, leave it on your computer and do not install it yet. We will do it together during the first lecture.

  • Before you come to the lecture for the third week, please
    • download and install Arduino: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software. It would be convenient if Arduino is installed at the same place you installed Processing.

    • Bring your Arduino starter kit to the class.

Part 1: Processing and Arduino

1. Week 1: Processing Basics

12 hours (6 class hours + 6 practice hours) + extra hours if needed.

1.1. Challenge

  • Creating static visual arts. At the end of the week, every student is expected to be able to
    • Create an artistic poster that demonstrates beauty and complexity, using Processing
    • Print the result and present with a frame, or on a form board.
  • Examples for inspiration
    • attachment:lines.pdf attachment:flowers.pdf attachment:circlespeed.pdf attachment:dbn.pdf attachment:theresa.pdf attachment:surface.pdf attachment:network.pdf attachment:wordart.pdf attachment:3d.pdf attachment:triangles.pdf

  • Source code of the last example above: TriangleFlowerPDF.zip

1.2. Skills needed to meet the challenge

1.3. Extra reading

  • Read the Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 6(Fonts), 7(Translate, Rotate, Scale), 8, 10(Make an Array, Repetition and Arrays) and 11(Image Export) from the book Getting Started with Processing. Try to experiment with the examples.

  • In the example for PDF output (TriangleFlowerPDF.zip), we used a recursive function call to triBlur(). What is a recursive function call? Read 13.10 Recursion (p.216-220) in the book Learning Processing.

2. Week 2: Processing Advanced

12 hours (6 class hours + 6 practice hours) + extra hours if needed.

2.1. Challenge

  • Create interactive visual arts. At the end of the week, every student is expected to be able to create an interactive installation that
    • uses a webcam to capture movements as input, and
    • as output, dynamically render visual arts in real time as output.
  • Examples for inspiration
    • http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzEyNDg4ODQ4.html (Minority Report)

    • http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTM5MzAyNzI=.html (Minority Report in reality)

2.2. Skills needed to meet the challenge

2.3. Extra reading

  • Try to complete the book Getting Started with Processing, except section "Hello Arduino" in Chapter 11. We leave it to next week. If you encounter difficulties, do not stick to it. Mark it, leave it and continue reading. You may visit the marked parts later when you gain more confidence.

  • If certain topics of the book Getting Started with Processing are not detailed enough for you, try to look for the same topics in the book Learning Processing.

  • Pay attention to the topics about images. We did not cover them in the lectures. You have to learn it yourself if you need them.
  • For more about controlP5 and Myron, refer to the documentations and examples.

3. Week 3: Introducing Arduino

12 hours (6 class hours + 6 practice hours) + extra hours if needed.

3.1. Challenge

  • Create interactive visual arts. At the end of the week, every student is expected to be able to create an interactive installation that
    • uses sensors connected to Arduino as input
    • as output, dynamically render visual arts in real time as output.
  • Or pick up an interesting example from the book Make Things Talk, modified for a different purpose, using different sensors and actuators.

3.2. Skills needed to meet the challenge

  • Understand the basics of the Arduino Hardware
  • Be able to program and debug Arduino
  • Be able to connect Processing and Arduino using Seiral libraries
  • Presentation

    Week3-Arduino.pdf

3.3. Extra reading

  • Getting Started with Arduino

  • Getting Started with Processing, chapter 11, section Hello Arduino.

4. Week 4: Advanced topics

12 hours (6 class hours + 6 practice hours) + extra hours if needed.

4.1. Challenge

  • Create interactive visual arts. At the end of the week, every student is expected to be able to create an interactive installation that
    • uses sensors connected to Arduino as input
    • The input is then transferred to a remote computer (using either Client/Server networking or Pachube service)
    • as output, dynamically render visual arts in real time as output.
  • Or anything else that is interesting and that integrates Arduino, Processing and networking.

4.3. Extra reading

Part 2: Meaningful Integration

(!) Challenge of Part 2: Design a family of installations which are capable of expressing certain emotions such as politeness, curiosity, playfulness with a social meaning

Integrating of technology into Ideas, Forms, User perspective and Culture (chunks I1,I2,I3,I4)

  • I1: generative art (mondrian programming)
  • I2: cardboard modelling
  • I3: product semantics
  • I4: emotion theory
  • I5: color theory

Technology pure (chunks T1,T2,T3),

  • T1: sensors and opamp circuits
  • T2: feedback theory and servo motors
  • T3: exact kinematic constraint theory

Focusing technology to deliver class work to a meaningful exhibition (focusing discussions F1, F2, F3)

  • F1: discussion and selection of main message of the exhibition
  • F2: focus and decisions on implementation of the exhibition
  • F3: progress meeting on the exhibition

This is a preliminary mapping of topics to dates:

  • 14 evening: T1
