For my midterm project, I wanted to continue working on my pulse sensor. I figured out how to get the cardiogram with the help of Scott by adding the correct resistors. I build a box using laser-cutter to cut the frame and paper to mimic the crystal ball. I then drew a hand shape on it as the signifier. I spend a lot of time writing the p5 code because I kind of forgot it. So I had to change my idea form the shaking heart to the fortune-telling memes. Based on the feedback in class, I’ll be more careful when contextualizing the data value by thinking more about people’s uniqueness and difference.
