H79.2309 Lecture 4 Credits
Instructor(s): Igoe
This course will explore alternatives to the computer or video screen for display of dynamic data. Students will work in groups to develop projects which access sources of data over a network and display that data using devices other than the screen. Output forms may include mechanical systems, audio, air or fluid movement. Data sources may range from data stored in a remote database and accessed via the internet to networks of multiple sensors, or multiple readings from sensors over time. The course will include some of the technical elements of microcontroller-based motion control, embedded net processors, and strategies for planning more complex physical display projects.
Prerequisite: H79.2301 (Physical Computing/Introduction to Physical Computing).
