Week 9

In week 9 we sat down in a group to decide what exactly we could do for our final project. Since there was not a lot of time left we really had to specify our aims.

Due to the fact that most ideas we came up with seemed to be far too complicated, we decided to do a light show. Something that may look pretty and that yo would be enjoying to watch. So far we got to know a variety of sensors. Their usage was not difficult, but the resulting data could definitely used in an interesting way. Therefore, if we make the light responding to data delivered by the sensor, processed by Arduino, we could give our light show the missing twist.

Somehow we all decided to use noise sensors. They seem to be beneficial since in a dark room where the light show would be presented, there would not be any worries whether they work or not.

Groupwork - Lightshow (Representation of noise through light)

We came up with a list of the things we will probably need.

Engine
Lenses, different kind
Mirrors, projecting picture to ceiling
Prism
Electricity wires, switch
Torch
masks, lasers
kaleidoscope



In addition to that we decided who will take what position within the group.
