Investigation I: Objects of Memory
As part of investigation I you’re asked to prototype a new tangible device
Develop a hybrid object (tangible, connected object) for memory; this critical prototype should embody, externalize or augment your memory through digital and computational processes.
In this section you’ll find the following resources
-
A list of tools and technologies for self-tracking that you might use to gather data in your projects.
-
An overview of working with components like:
- RFID;
-
Three step-by-step case studies offer non visual approaches to potentially cueing or encoding memory:
-
In this example, we’ll use RFID to detect when a ‘tagged’ object has been placed on our Smart Object. Our micro controller will then relay the device ID to Processing and display an image
-
Working with the DFPlayer Mini to play MP3s to create sound-based reminsence; and
-
Combining simple actuators like a heating element, fan, etc to create an internet connected scent dispenser.
