Physical Computing’s Greatest Hits (and misses)

sogang — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 05:19:04 +0000

A nice overview by Tom Igoe of many of the types of projects and topics that people tend to explore when working in physical computing

“There are certain project themes that recur every year in physical computing classes. Many of them are ideas that lend themselves to multiple interesting variations, and are valuable ways to learn about physical interaction through doing. Others don’t offer only limited interactive possibilities, but capture the popular imagination because they’re simple and quite often pretty to look at. What follows is a review of some of the themes I see frequently. These are by no means the only themes that come up, nor are they the only things you can do with physical computing. Many physical computing projects feature two or more of these themes.”

RJDJ

RjDj is a music application for the Iphone.

” RjDj is mainly consumed with headphones. Think of it as the next generation of walkman or mp3 player. The consumer experience of RjDj is similar to the effects of drugs. Drugs affect our sensory perception, so does RjDj. RjDj is a digital drug which causes mind twisting hearing sensations ”

RjDj scenes are composed using a software called PD.
