My contribution on week 7 (Diagram)

Aim and Objectives

We will try to mimic the odd events in this installation and therefore, anyone who walk through this installations will feel the emotions of fear themselves. The environment of the installation will be set up accordingly to invoke the emotions of fear.

Motivation

We want the user to achieve the full experience of feeling the emotions of fear. We also want to create this installation where the user will feel the originality of experiencing the real thing.

Design Approach

We would like to place our installation in a dark place where we possess the power of surprise where it will make the user feel more scary. We also will place our installation inside a place where it surrounded by walls where the sound will bounce back to create echoes. The installation using 2 scary doll that will produce a random sound when the user touch it and will on the light when the user comer nearer to the doll. Other than that,we will put 2 projector on the first floor that will produce a movie when the user come near it.

Survey

We have make a survey to FIT student. According to the result that we have,this is the conclusion. The survey have been done by 30 students.

my contribution of week 5 (webcam functionality)

Even in a dark places,the webcam can still detect motion perfectly. The zone trigger can adjust the brightness , contrass, colour intensity, gain and exposure. We can also used light as a trigger for our sound clip. So we dont have any problem to used the webcam in the dark places

My contribution on week 3 (Motion Detection)

What is Motion Detection?

Motion can be detected by measuring change in speed or vector of an object or objects in the field of view. This can be achieved either by mechanical devices that physically interact with the field or by electronic devices that quantify and measure changes in the given environment.

How Its Works?

Motion can be detected by: sound (acoustic sensors), opacity (optical and infrared sensors and video image processors), geomagnetism (magnetic sensors, magnetometers), reflection of transmitted energy (infrared laser radar, ultrasonic sensors, and microwave radar sensors), electromagnetic induction (inductive-loop detectors), and vibration (triboelectric, seismic, and inertia-switch sensors). Acoustic sensors are based on: electret effect, inductive coupling, capacitive coupling, triboelectric effect, piezoelectric effect, and fiber optic transmission. Radar intrusion sensors have the lowest rate of false alarms.

Probably the best radar intrusion sensor is a pair of leaky coaxial lines hidden (buried) in the soil. A chirp frequency modulation provides a continuous target response having a baseband frequency that is proportional to the distance along the length of the cables.

What is Our Main Idea?

Our main idea according this motion detection is by using the Light motion sensor. By using this,we will put a sensor on the stair and the light that on the stairs will be off to make the place dark.

My contributoin on week 3 (DIY Motion Detector Activated Light)

CONCEPT OVERVIEW

A light that turns on only when somebody is nearby can save energy, can save you the hassle of searching for a lightswitch in the dark, or can also alert you to the presence of an unwanted visitor. A PIR sensor is an infrared motion detector and it is easily connected to a PolyBlock which, in Timer Mode, can turn a light on automatically for a specified period of time when somebody is within range.

The PIR sensor works by comparing the outputs of its two internal infrared sensors. With no motion within the sensor's range, these two internal sensors settle to an "off value". When a person (or other large infrared-producing body) comes within range, the values the two infrared sensors record changes from the off value, and the PIR interprets this as motion. The PIR sensor outputs a Logical "1" or 5V on its output for a second or two after the motion stops. This is a weak digital signal so by itself it couldn't run a light (or anything, really bigger than a small LED) . We could connect it to a Switch Box, and thence to a large lamp, but this wouldn't help much either, since the PIR signal is only on for a few seconds after it detects movement. We'd like our light to be on for much longer.

STEP BY STEP

Step 1 - Connect the Power Supply

First we need to choose a light and an appropriate power supply. The main determining factor here is how much power the light is going to need. The +V connections will be determined by the voltage of the fan - i.e. a 12V light will require a 12V power supply. A smaller light that runs on 9V, for example, would make it possible to use a standard 9V battery as the power supply. Be sure to power the PIR sensor from the 5V connector on the PolyBlock, not +V. Note that an AC (110V) household light would definitely not work directly with this set up and would certainly damage any connected devices.

Depending on your choice of light, you'll need to choose an appropriate power supply, as mentioned above. With your power supply selected, connect the +V (positive) from the power supply to +V on the PolyBlock and the 0V (ground/negative) from the power supply to 0V on the PolyBlock (Fig. 1.1). You may need to strip 1/8" insulation off the wires from your power supply.

Step 2 - Connect the PIR Sensor

The PIR sensor has three wires coming out of it. The red wire goes to 5V on the PolyBlock, the black wire goes to 0V, and the yellow wire should be connected to I2 (Input 2). Set the PolyBlock to the Timer Function by manipulating the Function Switch to 0010. I2 on a Poly Block set to the Timer Function corresponds to the Sustain Trigger input. This means that as soon as the PIR is triggered, the light will turn on but the timer will not start counting down until the PIR is inactive. The length of the timer will determine the amount of time that the light remains on after nobody is in range of the PIR sensor.

Step 3 - Prepare the Light

Because halogen lights create electrical noise on the lines that power them, if we use them, it is important to filter the power going to them with a capacitor. The capacitor needs to go between the two wires going to the light and should be around 0.1uF and be rated to work with at least the +V voltage you're using.

To do this, we need to make one solder connection from the positive lead of the capacitor to the +V line going to the light, and another from the negative lead of the capacitor to the 0V (ground) line to the light. Solder a short length of wire (appropriately colored - black or red) onto each of the leads of the capacitor and then use these wires to make the connection with the appropriate wires from the light. Heatshrink any exposed solder joints to prevent unwanted shorts and to add a little physical support.

Step 4 - Connect the Light

Assuming the chosen light is not going to draw more than 2A of current, it can be connected directly to the PolyBlock. If your light draws more than 2A of current, you can add a Switch Block to increase the allowed amperage. Connect the positive lead from the light to the +V connector on the Poly Block and the negative lead to the S0 (Switch 0) connector (Fig. 4.1). To connect a household lamp to a standard power outlet, please see the AC Switch Block. Again, be sure that your power supply provides the correct +V for the light you've chosen.

Step 5 - Power Up

With the power supply still unplugged, double check all of the power connections to make sure all the 12V's, 5V's, and 0V's are properly connected. Once you're confident everything is where it should be, plug in the power.

Step 6 - Calibrate the PolyBlock

As described in the Timer function reference for the PolyBlock, the onboard trimpot can be used to adjust the amount of time that the light will stay on once the PIR is triggered. This can range from anywhere from a few milliseconds to almost 20 minutes. Start with the trimpot turned all the way counter-clockwise. This will give you the shortest timer period possible. Gradually turn the trimpot clockwise to adjust the length of the timer as desired.

My contribution on week 2 (Installation)

WHAT IS INSTALLATION?

Installation as nomenclature for a specific form of art came into use fairly recently; its first use as documented by the OED was in 1969. It was coined in this context in reference to a form of art that had arguably existed since prehistory but was not regarded as a discrete category until the mid-twentieth century. Allan Kaprow used the term “Environment” in 1958 (Kaprow 6) to describe his transformed indoor spaces; this later joined such terms as “project art” and “temporary art.”

Essentially, installation/environmental art takes into account the viewer’s entire sensory experience, rather than floating framed points of focus on a “neutral” wall or displaying isolated objects (literally) on a pedestal. This leaves space and time as its only dimensional constants. This implies dissolution of the line between art and life; Kaprow noted that “if we bypass ‘art’ and take nature itself as a model or point of departure, we may be able to devise a different kind of art… out of the sensory stuff of ordinary life” (Kaprow 12).

WHAT IS INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION ARTS?

Interactive installation is a sub-category of installation art. An interactive installation frequently involves the audience acting on the work of art or the piece responding to users' activity. There are several kinds of interactive installations that artists produce, these include web-based installations (e.g.,Telegarden), gallery-based installations, digital-based installations, electronic-based installations, mobile-based installations, etc. Interactive installations were most frequently created and exhibited in the 1990s, when artists were particularly interested in using the participation of the audiences to co-author the meaning of the installation.

My contribution on week 2 (Mind Map)

This is our main idea on this installation. We have choose an emotion that is scary. This installation arts using a sound, light, and video from a projector. It will detect a motion that are moving in front of our motion detector and it will produce a sound,light or a video. It will be install in the dark place to make it works.

The second emotion that we have choose is Happy. This installation will produce a colour light that show a happy mode and it will install in the area that are many people use everyday. The user can touch or moving in front of our installation to make it works.
