Blur for my fan

Blur for my fan - Arduino / flash
envoyé par jeremie_biron

Here is a movie which show the control of the fan with an online flash application.
It will allow user to "blow on me" thank to his microphone.

Here is the user webpage fan control : http://www.pixylab.com/turiya/bdd2/fan.swf

technical device :
microhphone -> flash online -> txt <- local flash <- proxi <- arduino <- fan

Interface mock-up

2008-12-01T23:04:00.000-08:00

I achieved the mock-up of user interface :
(you may click on images to enlarge)

Here is global global view with controllers (sound/electrostimulation/color atmospher/fan), and the view of the "dreamer".
You can also see the colored brain where dreams appear.

There is the "dream part", where you can see "influed dreams" of the sleeper.
Like you probably know, our brain is composed of two parts : logic and imaginative. That's why I choosed to have two wat to see thoses dreams. The first will be sort by time and the second will be more "chaotic" and user will have to frisk on the brain to find random dreams.

Finally, this is the sound part, with mouse animations.

User interface

This is a first reflexion of the user interface.
I want to make something imaginative, just a little complex and chaotic.

Sound interacation

2008-11-24T15:23:00.000-08:00

This is the fan part of the project (tested with a led here). We can notice that Arduino can receive an intensity linked to the sound. People are supposed to blow on their own microphone to activate the fan installed in my room.

Electrostimulation : Research's

2008-11-18T00:20:00.000-08:00

I planned to use an electrostimulation linked to my arduino for this project.
I found something really interesting on youtube.
This man made a really funny test :
He linked an electrostimulator to his face which react to the music.

The result is impressive.

Here is his portfolio. http://www.daito.ws/
And here is a website which speak about electro facial modifications. : http://artifacial.org/
Great !

Functional internet interaction (arduino)

2008-11-16T06:43:00.000-08:00

Now it's possible for me to receive datas from internet ( from every body).

There is two differents tests :

The first one is calling a database with flash and get some troubles during acting.
(webpage -> database <- local flash -> proxi -> arduino)

The second one is better. I deleted the database to use an online .txt file edited by php.
In addition I get a multi-outputs application and a graphical interface.

Sensors & hardware which I'll use

2008-11-03T22:46:00.000-08:00

Okay I have now to make the choice of sensors et hardware which I'll use on my experimentation.

-Speakers / To use sounds on internet.
-Fan / To allow users to blow on me.
-ElectroKit / To receive electro impulsions.
-Video Projector / To allow users to project movies on my room.
-WebCam / with WebcamFirst to send a movie on the website.
-Light Sensor / to have a better influence of intensity of light of my room.

Flash experimentation

2008-11-03T22:41:00.000-08:00

This is an experimentation to control a flash application with arduino. Now I have to work on something which is working on internet.

Influed during night

2008-10-29T13:13:00.000-07:00

Here is a test of using hard electro music during the night (without / with sounds)
