Final Project Proposal – Xu (Week 10)

 

Concept Statement:

Tears as a human bodily reaction have a strong connection to personality and communication. I want to visualize how the human process of tears not only reflects aspects of personal identity but also interactions between people or human with nonhuman, like a language.

Project Description:

I am going to do an installation which will make artificial tears and controlled by machine learning and Arduino.

Schedule:

Phase 1: Week 11. Technical Research.

Machine Learning part: how to classify and code in machine learning; Is it possible to use existing machine learning code to do my project?

Physical computing: how can I control the tears and could tear generate smoothly like human’s real tears?

Phase 2: Week 12. Project Development — Tears machine. 

Phase 3: Week 13. Project Development — Combine Machine Learning with Arduino. 

Finish machine learning training, and then test new data. Try other new data like the actor or actress inside a movie. Combine Machine Learning with Arduino

Phase 4: Week 14. Construction. 

Setting for Major Major. How to set the dummy head, video, tears machine, tubes together in order to express my concept.

Test it and documentation.

Phase 5: Week 15.  Presentation Preparation. 

Create 3D renderings of final product for final presentation (6 images).Photograph and video record User experience.
