Using the robot to draw with a tracking sensor controlling each wheel separately.

Controlling the robot with two tracking sensors. Each connected to a separate wheel. The robot backs up when it sees a black line. This may be used to have the robot avoid going out of our drawing space in the future. The phone is used as a weight so that the senors are close enough to read the black line.

Motion to Art initial ideas
Project brief:
The goal of the project is to encourage collaboration to produce a singular tangible result that reflects how well the collaboration went.
Our project will take movement and translate it into a permanent result. We are interested in how people interact and work together to create one fluid picture. Our starting point is from an Etch a Sketch where one person controls the motion in the horizontal direction and the other in the vertical direction. The input will be changing as we go along but it will respond to human action. We are purposely leaving it broad so we can focus in later once the more technical part is done and we know the robot’s drawing capabilities. We will start by figuring out the best way to mount and control a drawing utensil to the robot.

Phone Finder initial idea
We met with seniors at Wingate to hear about problems they encountered every day. We heard many ideas but they didn’t all fit our design specifications. Madison spoke to her mom about her grandmother’s phone misplacement habits which are maybe even more frustrating for her mom than her grandmother. The Phinder is a concept that originated from a need Madison’s grandmother has. She has dementia and tends to hide important objects such as her flip phone. Her phone then dies and when she tries to find it a few days later, it is lost in her house.
Phinder will be a transmitter and receiver pair. The transmitter will be plugged into the wall with an activation button and charging station. When the button is pressed a signal will be sent to the receiver that will then activate a loud buzzer attached to the phone. The button will also light up when pressed to provide the user with feedback that their device is being located. The buzzer will stop making noise when the button on the transmitter is re pressed.
Our solution will allow her grandmother to locate her phone without outside help. We looked at the Tile solution that tracks objects as inspiration. Our device is unique because it doesn’t require a smart device to be activated. It is more intuitive to just press a button and wait for a sound and then follow the sound.

Phone elevator iteration 1
DC motor setup I didn’t end up using. At the end I switched to using a servo motor to just spin to enable the spool to spin.

iBEAM 3.0 with reflection
My initial sketch was a portable camera and projector that could be attached to a foldable cart. Our group came together with the idea of using a projector but we were unsure in what way.
We asked ourselves what current projectors capabilities were and how we could adapt them to create something new. The benefit of a projector is the big screen and light weight aspect. We wanted to create a technology that would replace both a computer and a phone. We discussed different ways to mount a projector and realized we would need to design a smaller futuristic one. When thinking about the best place to mount it, the main contenders were the head and wrist. A head mounted projector would be more stable and clear since it would always be pointing at the same place as our eyes. The downsides included that people move their heads frequently and could accidentally blind someone. The main benefit of a bracelet is that there is the option of projecting up to one’s hand to account for the private phone aspect. Additionally wearing technology as a bracelet is already commonly accepted.
Our prototype became known as iBEAM, detachable wearable projector that takes away the need for a computer and phone. We created a Bluetooth headpiece that can be used to talk on the phone and is used to read facial movements to type without speaking and without using hands. Our video showed it being used in an educational setting, to project onto a study space and to communicate with friends. The user would attach and detach the projector part of the bracelet corresponding to computer vs. phone needs. We also incorporated the idea of a touch pad on the top of the projector to use as a sort of mouse.
For our next iteration we wanted to get more specific use scenarios so we asked ourselves: What is the benefit of a projector over private VR glasses?
The answer is that a projector allows you to bring others into your digital world. It is about creating community and sharing. A projector is seen as a public thing so we decided to use that to our advantage. In a way, our idea was coming back to the early thought of using it to share pictures. We focused in on the sharing aspect instead of trying to account for all phone and computer abilities. We decided to get rid of the headset since it didn’t add to the futuristic look and we assumed future technology would be able to use voice recognition.
We rethought about different ways to attach the projector to one’s body or even to a phone case. The bracelet idea stuck because it is easily portable, accessible, and comfortable. Wearing technology on your wrist is already in style.
We wanted the iBEAM to be used in both casual and formal social settings. In our video, we show how it is used while still on the wrist as a quick way to share with friends a part of your life. We also show the tripod feature of the bracelet that frees up your hands to do other things, like bake. The item became easier to use, as it was all one bracelet that would easily slid on and off a wrist. The bracelet was made of metal while the projector was 3D printed.
For our final prototype we really just needed to hone in on the details of the design and smaller functionality like how it was activated.
The final prototype:
We decided that focusing on the share ability aspect of the projector made sense as the use cases were very clear. Our current prototype is one 3D printed piece. The projector is more integrated into the round shape of the bracelet. We realized our projector didn’t need to be a square but could also be a circle, to fit into the bracelet. We decided to go with 3D printing the whole design because it is more fluid and less clunky than a metal band. The goal was still to allow the bracelet to stand on its own, so it could project while people were busy with their hands. The plastic did a good job of holding its weight and fitting around a wrist so it wouldn’t fall off throughout an envisioned day of use. We want iBEAM to be something users don’t really think about as separate from themselves, we want it o be comfortable, light, and easy to use. We moved the on button to the top of the projector, a more natural placement. We imagine users to be talking about what they want to project since it is to be used in social settings, so the projector would be listening and be able to pull up the correct image from the context. They could be anywhere so the projector is easy to focus from one’s wrist and has the power to project onto any flat surface.

This image shows an original idea of having a third leg to the bracelet that would be pulled out to use as a tripod. This bracelet was too bulky and the simple one could stand alone. Also, there is another iteration of our 3D printed projector in white.
