Week 2 Assignment

“Oh, grandmother, what a horribly big mouth you have!”

“All the better to eat you with”

This is an impressive sentence for me. It is from the story The Little Riding Hood.  So I chose to illustrate this scene in which the wolf and the little riding hood were having a talk about grandmother’s weird appearance and then the wolf threw back the quilt and revealed his real identity with its eyes blazing with greed.

In this project, when the quilt covers the body of the wolf, nothing happens. When players remove the quilt, the eyes of the wolf begin to give out light.

Process

  

1. Prepared the characters.

  

2. Designed and made the circuit.

Week 1 Assignment

The project Input/Output paper excited me most. The artist of this project is Jie Qi. In this project, there is a pair of origami papers. When the red paper is being folded, the other will fold automatically, following the red one. This project intrigues me. It doesn’t look so fancy and complicated, but it is very clever and great potential. The yellow one seems robotic. It can be controlled in the distance and imitate the user. Sometimes in the speculative science films, there are props of this kind of function.  According to Jie Qi’s description, “the microcontroller and circuitry is on the body of the red paper and the white paper is actuated by shape memory alloy.” Shape memory alloy enables the paper to fold by remote control. The whole process is very clever and inspiring.
