  Embedded System Project 2

week 3

  1. Prototyping Essentials

    • Critical for testing, error detection, and design optimization.
    • Challenges: Hardware/software complexity, time, and cost.

  2. Tools & Techniques

    • Breadboards/Wire Wrapping: Low-power, low-frequency circuits; no soldering.
    • Rapid Prototyping: 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC milling for custom parts.
    • Digital Tools: Blender, Maya, Unity, UE5 for simulations and interactive design.

  3. Interaction Design

    • User engagement via sensors, touchscreens, motion triggers.
    • Simulate real-time responses (e.g., sensor-activated visuals).

  4. Applications

    • Hybrid physical/digital systems for smart spaces, exhibits, and responsive environments.


We're still trying to download the Raspberry Pi above the class 







We have successfully completed making the device buzzer sound.



Week 4

  1. ​SR602 Motion Sensor: Detects movement by sensing changes in infrared light emitted by objects (e.g., humans or animals). It has three pins: VCC, GND, and OUT.

  2. ​TTP223 Capacitive Touch Sensor: Detects touch input, commonly used for touch switches. It has three pins: VCC, GND, and IO.

  3. ​MH-RD Raindrop Module: Detects rainwater, enabling automation of weather-related operations. It has four pins: VCC, GND, DO, and AO.

  4. ​MH Photoresistor Light Sensor Module: Measures ambient light intensity using a photoresistor. It has four pins: VCC, GND, DO, and AO.

  5. ​Microphone Module: Detects environmental sounds. It has three pins: VCC, GND, and OUT.

[Augmented Reality (AR)]

  • ​Definition: Overlays digital content onto the real world via devices (e.g., smartphones, glasses), applied in education, gaming, healthcare, etc.
  • ​Types:
    • ​Marker-based​ (triggered by QR codes/images).
    • ​Markerless​ (uses GPS/sensors for object placement).
    • ​Projection-based​ (projects light for interactive surfaces).
  • ​Development Tools:
    • ​Unity + Vuforia: Supports image recognition and environmental understanding.
    • ​ARKit (iOS): Apple’s framework with facial recognition and world tracking.
    • ​ARCore (Android): Google’s SDK for Android devices, compatible with Unity.

[Virtual Reality (VR)]

  • ​Definition: Creates immersive 3D environments via headsets, used in gaming, simulations, and training.
  • ​Development Tools:
    • ​Unreal Engine: High-quality graphics with visual scripting (Blueprints).
    • ​Blender: Open-source 3D modeling tool for creating VR assets.

Games Development / Week 1 Homework

-
Image
  Week 1 Homework To do: Individually come out with a game idea (or many ideas, remember the limitations), and make your first game pitch. Some lucky (or unlucky) students will be selected to do a 10-minute presentation of their game idea(s) next week on September 30. No specific format for now (we’ll do Game Design Document in a later class), so try to find the most creative and effective way to convey your game ideas. This may not end up being your Final Project, but it will still contribute to your Continuous Assessment grade. Hence, document the process in your blog. Submit the link to your blog post by Sept 29 midnight.

 Assignment1 Trending Experience Todo: Task 1 helps you explore current Augmented Reality (AR) trends and understand marker-based , markerless , and location-based experiences before choosing your final project idea. Research AR Trends Experiment Reflect Propose 3 Ideas Processing: Research AR Trends I have identified three commonly used AR applications on the market to serve as my inspiration. 1. Apple Ar :   These applications combine the limitless choices of online shopping with the “hands-on experience” of offline retail, ultimately aiming to eliminate consumer uncertainty during purchases. By overlaying virtual product models onto real-world environments at a 1:1 scale, users can intuitively assess size, style, and outfit compatibility, enabling more informed purchasing decisions. User input:  Previewing an orange iPhone 17 Pro Max on my computer keyboard App output: 2. Particle Cam: The core value of this type of application lies not in “previewing products” or “...
