How can you use technology to trigger memories and moments from childhood?
This project certainly answers the question above.
We infused electronics and engineering in design to build projects that made us relive the childhood memories and bring the stories that the objects told, to life.
Just like in a computer, the projects required three steps; input, processing and output
Sensors (of numerous kinds) were the input
Arduino, an electric circuit board/chip, did the processing &
the resulting output leveraged atleast one of the user's five senses
Dare to complete is a project by Amna Iman, Imran Salman Zia & Sarosh Ather in which the group playfully relives the experience of growing up in a culture where nudity is considered taboo and scandalous.
Our object was Imran's old sketchbook in which he used to draw naked figures as kid but was always scolded or slapped up by his mother.
Graphite lead is used as a conductor using an incomplete pencil drawing of a male and a female. Switches and wires which were connected to the ends of the paper and an Arduino was used to build capacitive touch sensors. As soon as the user tried to complete the sketch (input), a hand (operated by a servo motor) would slap you twice(Output) and would not let you complete it
Placement of wires on the arduino are shown below if anyone wants to build their own.
