Hero's wearable. Nice prototype - paper segment of figure, casting and aluminum stuff.
The presentation form is little awkward. If you make it more like a comic book - thick strokes and colors, it will be effective more. Although some geometric shapes(characters) such as 'for the future' are claver and shows your identity but they are not clear yet.
NOELIS
Separated audio and visual - collective and retrospective project. From personal interesting to project appealing is going smoothly. Cool video but it's going to be more personal rather than using universal chronology footage.

Weird illustration at the first slide; just speaking balloons work well with your concept. Because we are live in On-line environment, it has a value to do. However, the project is so random in terms of target viewers and a goal. It needs to be considerable in terms of safety and privacy.
FINLEY
In terms of presentation format, need more refine.
YANN
Nice Prototyping. Simple presentation.
TIFFANY
Effective precedences and shows progress of her project such as color separations and re-categorized entire project.

Arduino + MLX90614 Infrared Thermometer Module (Read 3431 times)
The MLX90614 is a non-contact infrared thermometer with a measurement range from -70 to +380 degree Celsius. Just connect the four leads to your Arduino and you will have a accurate thermometer with a resolution of 0.01 and a accuracy of 0.5 degrees. The code below reads the object temperature which is emitted from the objects surface and the ambient temperature from the sensor itself.

Thought about Theme
Entire energy contains environmental energy and a person's energy (same as F(Qi)).
Both elements are balanced and interacting each others.
Formally, Entire Energy of the Sphere= Environmental Energy in the Sphere + F(Qi)
F(Qi) = a one's (blow + heat + movement)
I will set up the environment with light form.
A person will interact with environmental energy that are represented by Light energy in order to keep balancing or being harmonious.
In addition, the light energy implies visible energy, so becoming invisible energy is the same amount of the invisible energy that the person absorbs.

Jim Campbell - Scattered Light
Jim Campbell: Scattered Light in Madison Square Park, New York City, October 21 through February 28, 2011.
The LED bulbs, programed to flicker scattered light, create the illusion of figurative images that explore and reflect the human experience amidst the urban landscape, creating the appearance of giant human shadows crossing a floating 3-D matrix of light. As one travels around the piece, the vantage point alters and the light figures begin to abstract, blurring the boundaries between image and object.
key words: abstract,representational, physical,image-based sculpture,pixilated image-making

How Does It Work?
1.Holding a small ball
2.Blowing on a small boll while walking around in the booth
3.the mood color of the inner booth changes depending on the user’s heat
4.Silhouette follows a user: The shadow implies Lights on the wall loose their energy
5.The small ball lights up as much as the strength of the blow

- P3 outdoor sensor for Temperature and Humidity
PIR Sensor Module
This module contains Fresnel lens in order to extend a detectable distance and expand sensitivity.
Piezoelectric sensor
- A piezoelectric sensor is a device that uses the piezoelectric effect to measure pressure, acceleration, strain or force by converting them to an electrical signal.
- Based on piezoelectric technology varous physical quantities can be measured;
- The most common are pressure and acceleration. When the accelerometer experiences a motion, the invariant seismic mass loads the elements according to Newton’s second law of motion F = ma.
- Vibration sensors can also be used to harvest otherwise wasted energy from mechanical vibrations.

synesthesia territimely
Fantastic film! Synesthesia means that one stimulus stimulates other two or more senses. Not only does the film maker approach to daily objects from various perspectives, but also s/he re-presents one source as other sources metaphorically. The last half part which sound comes from speakers as the forms of objects reminds me considering to convey between invisible to visible senses or vice versa.
Paper prototyping
From the paper prototyping, I'm considering to use more sensors and space efficiently. More than two sensors are needed both as a trigger and measuring 'variables' - reaction from audiences. Also, how to use a sphere or orb more flexible is considered. For example, setting mirrors or projecting could be possible rather than fill out the inside wall of the sphere with LEDs.
a motion sensor
Jon Sasaki, ‘Flyguy triggering his own motion sensor’ (2010)
A flyguy (one of the familiar dancing inflatables that wave people into carwashes and fast food restaurants) has been moved into the gallery and hooked up to a motion sensor.

2D Equations
The symbol is composed with following 4 equations.
* Wave - Ying and Yang
y1(x)= +sqrt(2^2-(x-2)^2)
y2(x)= -sqrt(2^2-(x+2)^2)
* Circle
x^2 + y^2 = r^2
x^2 + y^2 = r^2
r = 4
y3(x)= +sqrt(4^2-x^2)

Using LEDs
LEDs, which is stand for Light Emitting Diodes, are now very widely used in almost every area of electronics, mainly as indicator and display devices - in effect, 'solid state lamps'. They’re very well suited for this kind of use, because they are physically quite rugged and hence much more reliable than filament-type incandescent lamps.They also run much cooler and are much more efficient, requiring far less electrical power input for the same amount of light output. Other common uses for LEDs are as a source of either visible or infra-red light, transmitted as a carrier for data and other information over short ‘line of sight’ distances.
Project Essay
Intro
The Korean national flag is 'Tae-Geuk Gi', and 'Tae-Guek' means the symbol that is located in the middle of the flag. It implies the harmony of 'Eum-and-Yang,' which are representative of the heaven and the earth. Also, the harmony of 'Eum-and-Yang' reflects a creation theory of this universe in oriental theory. Simply, all things that are being in the universe are classified in two as in the beginning there were the heaven and the earth, male and female, and they attract each other under the law of universal gravitation.
To return to the symbol, simply, 'Tea-Geuk' consists of red and blue, and the wave sign is in between the two colors. If the symbol followed dualism or a black and white issue, the wave might be a straight-line instead of a curvy shape. Furthermore,

Abstract
My project is an installation about individual aura which is important in oriental concept. I drew inspiration from Tae-Geuk which comes from the Korean national flag, and represent the meaning that the creation of this universe in oriental theory. I will create a small universe in the shape of Tae-Geuk using LEDs. When an individual walks into the installation booth, the LEDs will change according to an individual's spiritual energy. The project is about converting individual things into visual effects through interaction.
group discussion - Oct.13
Vanessa's comments:
She suggested that a person's temperature(or body heat) can reflect the person's energy even if the energy is invisible and spiritual because a body heat implies(or depends on) a person's physical energy, the circulation of the blood and emotional status. Therefore, she recommended using fabrics or sensors that sense heats. In addition, she considered about a sculpture aspect; why is it supposed to be a sphere shape rather than a cube.
Louis's comments:
He suggested that I should consider to interactions between a view who is inside of the installation and another viewer who is outside of the installation since my theme is the Tae-Geuk symbol that is considered as the harmony of 'Eum-Yang' or 'heaven-earth'. In other words, by focusing on dualism, he gave me the other option that two participants interact each other through the installation. Also, for the solution of measuring 'Qi', he encouraged me to formulate an mathematical function such as multiplying one's body temperature and ones heart beat's rate.
