Q:\u00a0Which of the types of projects mentioned in “Physical Computing’s Greatest Hits (and misses)”<\/a> have you seen before? Which are most compelling to you, and why? What strengths and weaknesses do you see in them? What other patterns of physical interaction have you seen repeatedly?<\/p>\n

A: The types of projects I knew mentioned in the reading are-
\nTheremin-like\u00a0instruments. I have seen a few\u00a0experimentation’s with the topic. In the last ITP show, a saw a few light bulbs that were turned on and off by moving your hand above them. Every time you lit them, a sound came out. Very cool project. Especially because\u00a0surprising\u00a0sounds came out (actual\u00a0words and\u00a0different\u00a0instruments).<\/p>\n

Floor Pads I made in a\u00a0similar\u00a0way for a project of mine a few years ago. When you stood on them you\u00a0triggered an old cd drive which was located infront of a projector. \u00a0When pressed you could see what the projector was showing, otherwise it was covering the output of the projector.
\nFor making the switch itself I used two wooden boards covered on the inside with silver foil,\u00a0acoustic\u00a0foam in the middle, wich I cut init multiple holes. I also put foil paper in all of the wholes. When stood on, the circle closed,\u00a0triggering\u00a0the cd player to open.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
